Remy Ma gets 8 years in prison
Posted by Media Outrage on May 13, 2008
Awe man dag Remy. Remy Ma was just sentenced to 8 years in prison. wow.
Via SOHH:
Just minutes ago, incarcerated rapper Remy Ma was sentenced to 8 years in Manhattan Criminal Court for weapons and coercion charges. SOHH was on the scene as the sentence was handed down.
Today, Remy wept as she pleaded to the judge.
“I stand here today as Remy Mackie,” she said with tears in her eyes, referring to Papoose’s last name. “I’m a loving wife, mother and loving daughter and loving sister to my brothers and sisters.”
Remy also addressed Barnes-Joseph. “I apologize for not saving you from your physical and mental scars.” Before delivering the sentence of 8 years – 5 for weapons and 3 for coercion charges to run concurrently – the judge gave a statement.
“I’ve learned Remy is an intelligent and charitable young woman,” the judge said. “She’s overcome a difficult childhood. Her music has inspired people in need. She’s loved and has support from her family.”
After the complementary remarks, the judge turned her remarks to accountability.
“This is somewhat of a pattern. This is not the first time she has been engaged in a violent act. She never took responsibility
for her actions. This has nothing to do with rap it’s about the actions of one person. Remy is an extremely angry young woman who feels the rules do not apply to her.”
After the sentencing, Papoose got into a shoving match with a court officer. “All y’all want is f*cking money,” he yelled. “This is bullsh*t. Remy is innocent.”
Remy’s mother and others, who had painted Remy Ma on their faces in red, had to restrain Pap.
Mediaoutrage- Dag we feel for Remy…woo that’s a lot of time. Pap definitely was tripping. Was her sentence too harsh? What do you think?

Personally, I don’t think her sentence was that harsh. She CLEARLY shot someone. That lady could have died, and all of this was over 3 g’s. She definitely needs to learn that you can’t just act a fool because you’re in the spotlight and think you can get away with it just because you’re Remy Ma. She will probably get out early for good behavior so I doubt she’ll serve the entire sentence.

This is what anger gets you. Folk got to learn how to deal with stuff in a constructive manner. She got what was I think appropriate considering that liek Sweetthang said, someone could have died. She lucky or shall I say blessed because this could have been worse.
Pap need to sit his silly behind down somewhere trying to sneak in a key for the handcuffs in a prison. Come on now. Stupid.
