Judge Slaps Lil Boosie with Double Jail Sentence
Lil Boosie violated the terms of his probation, so a Louisiana judge decided to double his jail sentence. Boosie was originally scheduled to serve two years of a ten-year suspended sentence after being hit with a third-offense marijuana possession charge in September. The charges stemmed from an October 2008 arrest where police confiscated marijuana and a gun from Boosie’s car.
All the charges combined could have kept him in the big house for 25 years, but Boosie accepted a plea deal under the conditions that he would cancel all his concert dates and remain at home under electronic surveillance. When an ankle monitor indicated that he had violated the terms of his parole by leaving his home more than once, Louisiana District Court Judge Chip Moore immediately revoked his deal and doubled his sentence to four years in jail. Ouch!
In other news, Ozone publisher Julia Beverly has some Lil Boosie verses available for sale. But look before you leap. Beverly has come under fire for “scamming” rappers who inquired about tracks in the past.
