Celebrity Justice
Foxy Brown Gets a Year in the Slammer!

Foxy Brown will spend the next year in jail for violating her probation -- and she's going straight back to a cell on Rikers Island, where she's spent the last two weeks.
Breaking News: Foxy Brown
TMZ was in the courtroom when it all went down, and Judge Melissa Jackson slammed Foxy's pleas for mercy, calling her a "great actress," and saying that if this were the first time she'd apologized, she might be believable, but not now. We're told that Foxy was visibly distraught by the verdict, and her mother refused to talk to reporters outside. Foxy originally was sentenced to the probation after an assault on two employees at a nail salon in Manhattan.

Outside the courtroom, cops from New Jersey -- where she allegedly lied to cops about her birthdate and state of residence -- told TMZ that she got what she deserved. Interesting note: if she serves the full term, Foxy will give birth in prison.

Story developing ...




The bad news didn't end there for Foxy (real name: Inga Marchand), as she was also indicted in Kings County for her alleged attack on a Brooklyn woman with a BlackBerry. What's more, she was indicted on charges of battery in connection with an incident at a Florida hair salon in February.

Her lawyer Alan Stutman told TMZ that he thought the punishment was "unfair." TMZ has learned that Foxy will be transported later tonight to a women's facility on Rikers Island where she will serve her sentence, during which she will be eligible for parole in eight months -- if she behaves, that is.

48. She should have hired either Paris, Nicole, or Lindsey's lawyers. How much time will she actually do? Probably the full year. I'm sure she was thinking "Hell to the No", I'M A CELEBRITY.

50. First off, foxy is not Paris Hilton!! This is not a race thing!! Paris has Dui's, Foxy assaults people, and lies to cops!! She was apparently offered 9 months, and refused!! She must be difficult, because, even her attorneys had asked to be dropped from the case!! The sad part is that she will have to give birth in prison, and not get to bond with her child! This is sad for them both! But with time served, and good behavior, she will undoubtly do less than a year!! Which means if she hadn't been a hard head, and took the 9 months, it would be even less! She did the crime, she made the choice, now she'll have to do the time!! I hope she learns from this, with a child to raise!!

51. Give the girl a break!! She is pregnant for Heaven's sake and needs to have her bundle of joy outside the slammer so she can hold it and nurture it!!!. I am all for letting off steam,. but Foxy seems to really get into it for some reason!!!

52. As much as I hate Paris Hilton (and rap music) as well as probation violators, the two cases can't be compared since Foxy's case involved actual violence.

I'd say she proved she needs to be in jail, when she was on probation for violence then became violent with someone else. Lying about her name didn't help either.

Overall, good riddance.

53. #49: Very good. Hopefully this will shut up the morons trying to play the race card for this worthless piece of slime. It seems that this one year jail sentence was inevitable.

54. Bird,

That depends on what the traffic violation is.

55. Good. Next!

56. If she'd gotten time for the 1st offense, she wouldn't be in jail today!! This will make her think twice about her behavior & how she'll raise her baby. Besides, she didn't think she could get that Nicole Richie jail time did she? 8 hours?

I've got money that says she'll screw up in jail and get more time!

ROTFLOL!!

60. Where was Nicole and Lindsay's lawyers when you need them. One day, 82 minutes in jail...that kind of thing. Even the Duke Prosecutor got one day. I heard her lawyers were begging to QUIT! It's all racism!
