BREAKING NEWS: Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty To Gun Charge [Facing A Year in Jail]- VIDEO INSIDE
Allhiphop reports:
Rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapons possession charges today (October 22).
As reported by AllHipHop.com yesterday (October 21), the rapper is expected to receive a maximum sentence of one year in jail, although he is expected to serve around eight months in prison for the offense.
The rapper had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, but changed the plea to avoid a trial that was due to start January 20 and could have resulted in at least 3 ½ years in prison.
The guilty plea stems from an incident in New York in 2007, after police found a .40 caliber handgun during a search of his tour bus.
Originally, lawyers for Wayne planned to contest the charges.
Yesterday (October 21), the plea was entered after Wayne’s DNA evidence was allegedly found on the weapon and deemed admissible by a judge.
The DNA evidence found was reportedly small, and Wayne’s lawyers initially sparred with the prosecution over whether DNA profiling technique used was scientifically acceptable.
Before the trial, Lil Wayne’s manager had publicly taken responsibility for the gun on the rapper’s VH1 special.
Lil Wayne, 27, also faces a trial in Arizona for felony drug possession and weapons charges, after a 2008 arrest during a routine stop at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.
At press time, Lil Wayne could not be reached for comment.
His much-delayed rock debut, The Rebirth, is scheduled to hit stores on December 15.

Other then that Wayne gone be good 8 months is a short vacation. Plus I bet he only do 5 months inside and get out early on good behavior or house arrest that ain't shit. Now if he was facing MAX B or hell even Prodigy time then he would have reason to be down. I think his other case will get thrown out cause the cops fucked up. In the future just stay out of New York and Arizona fuck them, there lost anyway plus I know that overseas paper is better. For all you fake ass niggas talking bout him sucking dick and kiss men in the pen, ya'll some homos just for having them kind of thoughts and fantasies in ya'll head from the jump. And to niggas calling him a drug addict talking about his habits need to just hush cuz ya'll know ya'll smoke weed. And you just a busta period for celebrating another man getting locked up, niggas who do that are prone to snitch.
