Remy Ma Found Guilty of Assault. Facing 5-25 Years in Jail
This afternoon, Remy Ma was found guilty of two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion, and criminal possession of a weapon. As the verdict was read, Remy quietly wiped tears from her face - seemingly in shock. After court officers took her away in handcuffs, she was heard crying loudly in the hallway, screaming, “Oh my, God. Oh my, God.” <
< see comments.
Some of Remy's supporters in the courtroom also cried, and there was a slight disturbance between them and Makeda-Barnes people. Makeda is Remy's ex-friend/victim in the incident, she was all smiles, "I'm so happy. Justice was served."
At her sentencing on April 23, Remy faces 5-25 years in prison.
Remy got in all this mess on July 14, 2007.
After leaving a Manhattan nightclub, with some friends, Remy said $3000 was missing from her bag and she knew who took it. Remy got into Makeda-Barnes Joseph car and demanded that she dump the contents of her bag. In the fight for the bag, Remy pulled a .45 and pointed it at Makeda.
*Pow*
Remy’s defense lawyer, Ivan Fisher, said she pulled the trigger by accident.
The jury deliberated the case for two days and came to a different conclusion.

I bet your ghetto ass will calm down how.
This just gonna give her something to rap about when she gets out. This is supposed to be her friend…
...i love Remy as an artist and i felt that she had lots to offer but can someone please explain this to me…maybe i am being naive or just plain ignorant…but here she is hollaring about gats & guns, busting shots and how ill she can be but yet when its time to face the music, she breaks down and cry??? I thought it was really real out in the field?...i guess there goes another studio gangster.
SqBiz..
There should be an edit to this story. I checked Think2wice this morning and they had the “Oh my God” I got from earlier news stories, as “My son.. My son.” Which makes more sense, with her lawyer explaining that she hadn’t seen him before she left for court that morning.
Correction made just so she’s not characterized as ‘scared’.. more like, thinking about that long vacation ahead of her.
Oh she was scared, she is a studio gangster just like my man said.
‘Sup Chris, i was reading the daily news and they did mention how she wept thinking about her son but please Chris, explain this to me : i was watching some clips of Remy on YouTube and she is “acting” all hard about shooting b!t@*es and really talking wreckless…heck, i was almost shook for a quick minute…but knowing that you got a little son at home, dont you think that she is too grown to act like a juvenile? And i know that she is not the only one but alot of these “studio gangsters” are really throwing their lives away and for what? street cred??? Am i really out of tune with the hood….Bilal, is it me?
I hope her dumb ass gets the full 25 years. All that potential and she wants to act like some ghetto bitch. This is what happens when stupid niggas get money. So sad. SqBiz, I guess we are both out of tune with the hood.
Unfortunately this is the fate that Remy set for herself. I’ve said it time and time again, if this is all female rap has to offer, then I am sad. I read on a news site that she wants people to write her judge before her sentencing to him how her rap has “positively” changed them…WTF? To my knowledge all she raps about is nonsensical trivial matters and hasn’t contributed one positive thing to society; the black community specifically. I’m not saying she’s never done good deeds but her wrongs have fair outweighed her rights (in terms of media coverage that is). I’m just sad that another black entertainer has fallen from grace simply because they chose to act in a manner that was detrimental to their success.
LOL… studio gangster.
Remy ...
T.I. gun charges
Prodigy - gun charges
after street credit and increased sales.
Those who listen to these rappers should boycott their music. Everytime you hear it come on the radio, flip the channel, burn their cds and quit buying their music/books/clothing/etc. Let them know we’re not going to fund their bad habits and also let them influence our young.
Sqbiz..
I made the correction to get the story right, not to legitimize her ‘gangster’ in any way - I couldn’t care less about that.
REMY MA Your lawyer was no good he knew from your record alone would get you indicted!!!!! The lawyer was no good he wanted Money that’s why he wanted a trial!!!! THE LAWYER ROBBED YOU…
Attention all you rap stars your worse nitemare is these lawyers they know you’ll know nothing about the law. I’m confused first the blacks get together and scream racism, then they go out and get a White lawyer? if you don’t know the law get yourself a professional paralegal(a black one) to follow your white lawyer around make sure they don’t know each other and make sure the paralegal knowz the law. The lawyer is going to go for trial because that’s how a lawyer gets his fee. why go for a copout worth 4,500 when I can go to trial for 3500.000 remeber they say they don’t know… Then you really don’t need that lawyer, because you already don’t know now you going to pay some one who don’t know either? and at all times the Lawyer think they are the players rember ’ DON’T HATE THE PLAYERS HATE THE GAME.
How about telling these stupid artist not to do these things that they do instead of getting a better lawyer? How about telling that ignorant female to grow the f**k up? If this is what the game is about the game needs to change.

Wow just ignorant. Look at your way of writing. You are just as ignorant as she is. She deserves to be in jail. A waste to society, all rappers are. Just sad black people. Look up to someone that is really doing the right thing,
