Mr. Wavy may wash ashore sooner than expected. XXLMag.com spoke with incarcerated rapper Max B’s manager, Joli O’Shay, earlier today (Mar. 19) and she says the Harlemite was recently granted an appeal in his murder case.
According to O’Shay, Max is now sitting tight as he awaits an actual appeal date. Once that comes in the MC known as Biggavelli, has a new lawyer to fight for his innocence. “He’s gonna try hopefully to go back to trial, or get it a mistrial or get it time served, whatever we can do,” she said.
As previously reported, Max was sentenced to 75 years in prison on September 3, 2009 for orchestrating a 2006 robbery that left a man slain in a Fort Lee, New Jersey hotel.
The former Jim Jones protégé was convicted of felony murder, aggravated manslaughter, kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy.
O’Shay, who speaks to Max daily, says he’s in good spirits about the appeal. —Jesse Gissen

Ummm…people that kill other people usually never get out of jail. 75 years? Pretty much squashes any idea of getting out.What do you mean “this type of case” as if to say, felony murder, aggravated manslaughter, kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy isn’t bad enough? Someone that does something like that deserves to get 75 years IF they are convicted.

being convicted doesn’t mean you actually committed a crime what kind of narrow as thinking do you have to think the justice system is flawless there not even 60% on most of the cases they just need to blame someone for the publics eyes…Thats a fucking fact I have police officers in my family i hear the fucked up shit they drink and talk about

Sorry to say, but once this is heard in the appellate court,99% percent of the time, it will get denied unless the defense can prove that the judge/jury acted with prejudice and/ or arresting law enforcement in N.J. violated rights. In this case, I’m not sure any of that happened. Most convicted felons file appeals, however a very very small amount them get reversed. Max be will do those 75 years.

Max knows he did it but if he can get an appeal and get out on bail while on appeal I guarantee something happens to Jim aka Jenny Jones. It’s because of Jimmy that Max never got a chance to release a solo album that would have done well and gotten him more money for better lawyers. But Jim would rather see a fellow black man go to jail. I am not a Max B fan but as a black man there are enough of us in jail. I would rather see him out making music, good or bad. Jim would rather see him in jail. The sad thing is their beef is probably over a bitch or something dumb that ended up slowing down the money for both. Jim was never as successful as when Max was on his team. Karma is a mofo.

First of all I have never heard of this young man. Second, are you all saying “free him” because he is innocent? Or all of you saying “free him” because he’s one of your favorite rappers? If he’s actually murdered someone, that doesn’t deserve freedom I’m sorry. I’m tired of seeing my Brothas and Sistas locked down but I don’t condone murder once so ever. What if this was a child rape / murder case? Would you ignorant ass niggas still be saying the same stupid shit? ***thinks for 5 seconds*** Never mind…I already know the answer to that one :\

#1. Why put yourself into a situation in which you would be charged with something like this?
#2. What kind of company did he keep?
#3. With his brother’s girlfriend implicating him, it will take her retracting her testimony. Can’t see that happening.
#4. Mr. Wingate’s legal team is going to have chip away at the evidence or get testimony thrown out.
#5. If by the grace of God, his appeal overturns his conviction, he better think about who he wants around him. Sometimes knowing you’ve grown up past friends is hard for your friends to understand.
