Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie entered a guilty plea earlier today (September 22) on drug and weapons charges stemming from an arrest that occurred last October.
Local Louisiana news network WAFB reports that Boosie was scheduled to go to court this coming Monday, but pleaded guilty today in an effort to avoid trial. He was sentenced to two years in jail, but depending on his behavior he may only have to spend one year behind bars.
“I’m just ready to get all of this behind me and get further along in my career,” he told the station. “I plead guilty, it was in my best interest.”
As previously reported Boosie, born Torrence Hatch, was arrested in Baton Rogue on October 22, 2008 after authorities’ smelled marijuana coming from his car. Upon searching his vehicle, they found a firearm along with a bag of marijuana.
In related news Boosie’s new CD, Superbad, hit stores last Tuesday. The disc is projected to sell anywhere from 24,000 to 50,000 copies in its first week. –Elan Mancini

That lil gremlin looking nigga aint gonna serve a day. Baby will have somebody on the bus “come forward” to say they owned all the drugs and guns. No way Baby lets his meal ticket go to jail, I mean unless the had some CSI type shit with Weezy’s finger prints and DNA on them burners and the dope. Even then with the paper them niggas got certain shit happens and Baby is making conjugal visits to Weezy:)

Actually, they did find his DNA on the gun. He claimed it wasn’t his, so they took the investigation to the next level.
But, Wayne’s attorney found some incriminating stuff about the examiner who discovered the DNA, & has since been trying to get that evidence thrown out.

BOosie is Wickty Wick Wack most of the time. But sometimes he can go off. I still feel bad though, cause why throw it all away. Be careful young and old people. After working hard for years why get sloppy now and not register a gun. Smoke Mary Jay where no one can pull you over ie your house your girls house your friends house. These motherfuckers make a lot of money off of arresting your ass for weed.

For all the haters, lets hope you dont ever get sentenced to jail for a couple of years, because you dont have money like BOOSIE, so while you locked up, everybody will be runnin through ya baby mama, you will be miserable in jail with no money on ya books, and when you get out you wont have shit to come back to!! Think about that next time you try to kick a man while he is down!! Dude is gonna come back home still rich, and he will probably be in PC the whole time he in the bing so aint nobody gonna touch him!!! YALL NIGGAS ARE WACK!!

XXLmag.com - » Lil Boosie Violates Probation, Judge Doubles Jail Time says:
[...] As XXLMag.com previously reported, Boosie copped a plea deal back in September for a drugs and weapons charge in 2008. In order to avoid trial in the case, he pled guilty and the judge agreed to only sentence him to two years, with him probably only having to serve one year on good behavior. [...]
