Remy Ready for Her Trial Close-Up

Posted Jan 31st 2008 2:52PM by TMZ Staff

Now that's what we call a speedy trial date! Hey, Ma ... look, no delays!
Remy Ma
Rapper Remy Ma was in Manhattan Criminal Court today, where the judge in her assault and witness-tampering case set a temporary date of Feb. 25 to begin the trial. Remy was popped in July 2007 for allegedly shooting her friend -- so it's only been, what, about eight months?

R. Kelly's court date took five-and-a-half years to set.

2. WTF? Fair and "speedy" trial?

Nothing is fair about this at all. Well it's nice for the offender!

Jeesh.

4. Check it out; another dumbass rapper who starts to make some money, then decides he/she is better than everyone else & the laws we live under don't apply to them. Or, even worse, a criminal to start with makes some money & thinks they can continue to break the law with impunity. Rappers & trouble with the law; how cliche...

7. Wouldn't that be a year and 8 months?

8. If she was "popped in July 2006" that is a little longer than 8 months, more like a year and a half.

9. Regardless of TMZ's ability (or lack thereof) to count months, the reason why some people get quick trial dates and why some others take forever is due entirely to the lawyers involved. A good high priced lawyer can get stuff delayed by months if not years.

I'm thinking that R.Kelly can afford better lawyers than Remy Ma.

And I still don't know why this isn't about Britney!! (Heavy sarcasm there folks.)

10. Hey Einstein? That is a wonderful education you've received in California!
Here's hoping that you can tie your own shoes before leaving the house to snap pictures!
