T.I. Gets off Easy

Looks like T.I.’s lawyers are sketching out a plea deal that will limit his bid to 1 year.

From the Associated Press:

Rapper T.I. was expected to plead guilty Thursday to federal weapons charges and will face prison time, according to two people familiar with his case.

The 27-year-old singer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was expected to be sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service talking to youth groups around the country, followed by about 12 months in prison, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plea deal had not been finalized yet Thursday morning.

If this goes through, those lawyers definitely deserve a raise and some hookers.

Update:
Tip is expected to enter the plea at 1:30 p.m. Quick, get those “Free T.I.” t-shirts ready.

on an unrelated note, are you going to the Common show tonight?

3. Rizoh Says:

I thought about going to that show, but I have a long drive to Austin ahead of me tomorrow. It doesn’t help that I’ve been sick for the past 5 days. So I need to get rested up for that.

Glad to see my people continue to support fu%kery all the time, that’s why there will never be any progress. Tell me this those same gun he got caught with could’ve killed one of your love ones. I just don’t understand why when God bless certain people who lived a struggled life and then finally made it out the hood they continue to be ignorant. Dude you are a grown ass man with kids, why do you want to potray that thugish lifestyle for? Ignorance a.k.a Niggarance never fails

6. Hip Hop made me do it Says:

If the average man got that case, they would have had at least 10 years.. T.I is very lucky.

7. Walter Says:

Wow, I didn’t think I’d ever see the day that Dayne didn’t type in all caps…anyway, yea, T.I. is mad lucky, and hopefully he won’t do anything stupid like that ever again…why he was the one out there buying the guns is beyond me…
