Celebrity Justice
Oh Ma God! Remy Guilty on Four Counts

The verdict just came down in the Remy Ma trial, and the rapper has been convicted on four major charges -- two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion, and criminal possession of a weapon.

The charges stem from a 2007 incident in which Remy shot a friend of hers after a fight over $3,000 in cash stolen from Remy's purse. The defense tried to make the shooting an accident -- but it looks like they didn't quite convince the jury.

Remy was not found guilty of gang assault and witness tampering, among the nine total charges she faced. We're told the victim's friends and family taunted Remy when the verdicts were read -- full pandemonium in the courtroom.

Remy could face up from five to 25 years in prison at sentencing.

33. This is the sadness I speak about concerning rap. I won't call it music because it's not. But putting your heads in dirt and not dealing with the honest facts, that rap is not music it's a thug lifestyle that has hurt the black community not helped!!
Very naive comment.
To Some rap can be uplifting listen to Lupe, Tali Kweli or Mos Def and you will understand.
To Some rap can give hope to those forced to provide for themselves or they families by any means necessary
To Some rap can be negative...
I listen to all forms of music and to say rap is not an expression therefore saying the musicians that have creative classic albums is very ignorant.
I don't want to make this a race issue but I also listen to the Rock & alternative music.
When I listen to Nirvane I dont want to shoot children or when I listen to Chop Suey I could go on and on but I just realized your stupid

34. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I can't for the life of me resort to blaming movies for this kind of behavior,yes it's sad she has a child but you CANNOT shoot someone she should have called the PD and filed a report but most won't they deal will it in their own and this is what happens...

35. Angelise word
Makeda is a stupid bitch even if Remy did do it deliberately then she stole from her not once but twice. She was saying she babysat Remy's kids well why didnt she think of them when she became a rat and snitched. Now shes messed up everyones one life including her own and she aint getting any money now. Whats Makeda doing hanging out with Remy then if shes supposed to be a thug she broke the code

36. Eman, here are some stats for you:

1 out of 99 people in jail are white

1 out of 36 people in jail are hispanic

1 out of 6 people in jail are black

So, I would have to say your theory on white mobster movies is the reason for violence is just a little OFF!

37. Eman, with all do respect, alot of people are exposed to this stuff. You never hear about Garth Brooks trying to take out Travis Tritt. You never hear about Kelly Clarkson trying beat down Carrie Underwood. No, because rap is not just a so-called music, it's a violent lifestyle that abuses women and glorifies violents. I'm older than you are and remember the 60's and 70's. There wasn't any real rap on the radar until the early eighties and then it was just a joke. When something is not postive for people, you don't call them racist if they don't agree with you. Rap has not been positive on the black community no matter how you or anyone defends it!!! We cry about 4,000 troops killed in Iraq, did you know that 25,000 black men have been killed over the last 7 years and that's an FBI figure.

40. GOOD! I think it's time Hollywood stops glamorizing so called ghetto fabulous. These people have poisoned society and all they care about is getting rich. Not saying all ghetto people are bad but the hood rats who speak ebonics and wear baggy cloths need to rot away in prison where they belong..They offer nothing to society and need to focus on education and raising their kids so society doesn't have to deal with their problems. So long up the river HOOD RAT!

41. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN HURT OTHERS AND NOT GET IN TROUBLE. BUT THEN AGAIN LOOK HOW MANY STARS GET OFF.

What does Al Sharpton or Rev Wright have to do with some idiot rapper who shot someone? Oh I get it. Because she’s black. How passe!

To The Warden...
Obama isn't going to solely end anything. It takes more than just one person to change anything, but nice try. What he is doing and is going to continue to do once he becomes President is inspire a nation to take care it’s self.

OBAMA ‘08

43. This is a prime example of "WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG!" bwahahahaha!

RemyRR you hit the nail on the head. These racist jackasses are so quick to generalize all rap with these wreckless idiots who are more mainstream and commercial, without knowing the essence of hip hop. Common, Talib Kweli, Black Thought, Immortal Technique, Lupe Fiasco all give us real hip hop. I don't like Remy personally, and I think her conviction is justified, she was just plain stupid. But to turn this into a racial issue taking shots at our genre of music and our future President, (yes President) shows the lack of intelligence of the slugs that slime these boards with their ignorance. A real representation of woman in hip hop is JEAN GRAE. And a TRUE representation of hip hop in its finest form is the BEST to do it right now, Blu & Exile. Try google or youtube to look them up, do something constructive with yourself.

I also agree that if she was concerned about her child, she wouldn't have pulled that trigger "accidently" not once but twice. You do the crime, you do the time.

As far as the prison statistics, here's a thought. I would expect there to be LESS whites in jail, if there are ongoing disputes regarding preferential sentencing, racial profiling, and such regarding the inbalance in the sentencing of blacks and whites, which is a prime example of why the laws regarding crack and cocaine were changed. The charges and sentences were created to target poor blacks hustling in the ghettos to poor blacks. But the key ingredient in crack, cocaine, which is commonly used by whites because of its cost and ability to create the euphoric feeling faster, carried a substantially lower sentence. And you can bet your saltine ass WHEN Barak wins the Presidential election, the civil rights division he is pushing or will be created to ensure this happens no more.

Must suck to be beat at your own game at each step by a black man. hahahaha....Barak is giving it to Hillary like Bill never can right now, raw with no vaseline. McCain is next. You can throw Rev. Wright up all you'd like but what closed minded idiots fail to realize is that the WAR and ECONOMY will be the determining factors of this race. McCain is committing us to a minimum of 100 years in Iraq. Regardless of where he goes to worship, people are going to support him simply because they are tired of this economy bleeding, they have loved ones who have been killed or are in this meaningless war, and they are smart enough to know that to commit to staying in Iraq would be economic suicide. Try your scare tactics, scream about the terrorists. But in all this time you haven't caught the one who orchestrated the most deadly "terrorist" crime against America to date. Either they don't want to, or we have the most incompetent Army in the world.

Barak=Change
McCain=Recession/The Greater Depression

Who do you think will win? Obama '08 bytchez!!!!

44. I really don't know who this woman is but I'm glad her ass is going to jail ovr 3,000.00 stupid ass bitch, Why are you carrying around a damn gun anyone,

I hope you files a civil suit against your ass so you wont have any money to appeal, Great Lawyers you paid. T.I. only got 1 year and community service. He had so many guns at his house and he is a convicted felon. HA HA HA. I guess he had a better lawyer than you did. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO LAWYERS BETTER PAY FOR A GOOD ONE FOR A CRIMINAL CASE.

The best part of this story is this:

We're told the victim's friends and family taunted Remy when the verdicts were read -- full pandemonium in the courtroom
