| JadaKiss Enters Not Guilty Plea To Drug, Gun Counts |
Legal troubles surround another hit musician...this time with serious consequences looming. According to an ap news release, Jadakiss (aka Jason Phillips) entered a not guilty plea on February 8th to an indictment on gun and drug charges. He was arrested October 7,2006 with three other men in his native Yonkers. Police said they stopped the car he was in after smelling marijuana and then found the the loaded stolen .38 caliber hand gun.
The rapper’s lawyer, Clement Patti, said, “I have yet to see or hear of any evidence connecting my client to possessing this weapon.” He said Jadakiss was in the back seat and did not know there was a gun in the front console. Also, how they could smell marijuana from a moving car will surely be up for debate. Jadakiss’ most recent album included a hit single, “U Make Me Wanna,” featuring Mariah Carey. The rapper is most notorious for his 2004 song “Why,” which included lyrics asking “Why did Bush knock down the towers?” He said later it meant the president had failed to stop terrorism.
If Jada is convicted on the gun charge in Westchester County Court, the possible sentence he would face is 16 months to seven years in prison. The law was toughened in November to provide a minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years.
Two of the other arrested men face similar charges. No indictment of the fourth was announced. |
