Lil Wayne To Plead Guilty On Weapons Charges And Serve 8 Months In Jail
Posted by Media Outrage on October 22, 2009
According to AllHipHop Lil Wayne will be pleading guilty today on weapons charges and agreeing to do 8 months in jail.
Via AHH:
Lil Wayne will be forced to plead out to a jail term in New York City on Thursday, according to sources with AllHipHop.com.
The rapper is expected to accept an 8-month bid in jail over his alleged involvement with a loaded .40-caliber pistol gun found on his tour bus in 2007 while in New York.
The 27-year-old now faces 15 years in jail for each count of criminal weapons possession and criminal possession of a loaded weapon.
“Wayne is going to plead guilty,” a source close to the case told AllHipHop.com, stressing that this was definitely going to happen. The rapper pleaded not guilty at press time and has yet to make any such public declaration. “The date is coming up and he’s going to do it tomorrow.”
Wayne is rumored to be willing to accept the deal to avoid a long term in jail over the gun. The same source said the term will begin in February of 2010 under the terms of the deal. “If he doesn’t plead, he goes to jail for a long time,” the source said.
”They told him that if he doesn’t plead tomorrow, it will go to trial and then he faces a far longer jail term,” the source continued.
A small amount of DNA may have changed the landscape of the case, according to a report by the Associated Press. There is a “minuscule” amount of the rapper’s DNA on the gun, reports say, and that has strengthened the case for the prosecution.
Another hearing is set to resume tomorrow, where the rapper will reportedly announce his next move.
AllHipHop.com was unable to obtain comment from representatives for Wayne at press time and the rapper didn’t speak to the media at a court date earlier today.
Lil’ Wayne has another trial looming in March over felony drug and weapons charges from a January 2008 police raid.

lol, inmates everywhere are polishing up on their ‘lollipop’ lyrics. At least he can’t get anyone pregnant in jail. I think it’ll be a good look for him- he’s always trying to be gangster & rep bloods, now he can add some hard time to that street resume & walk what he talks.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT AS SOON AS BARACK GOT ELECTED ALL THE OLD NEGROES STOPPED BEING PROSECUTED BY THE IRS, AND THE JUSTICE DEPT.
BUSH WAS TAKING THEM DOWN HARD AND FAST – WESLEY SNIPES, OJ, BARRY BONDS, ETC ETC. BUT NOT ONE HAS BEEN PROSECUTED SINCE BARACK GOT IN OFFICE,
WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND OUR YOUNG RAPPERS, AND OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE SEEM TO BE GETTING LOCKED UP LEFT AND RIGHT, EVENTHOUGH THEY CAMPAIGNED HARD FOR HIM.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Is Barack Protecting Old Negroes…
Are you insane or are bucking for the Forrest Gump scholarship for the stupid? Rappers were prosecuted heavily for years even when Clinton and Bush the first was in office. Barack has nothing to do with protecting older blacks or younger….What would make you see a connection with that?!!?!?
