vampienyc10 Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 *** Rapper Shyne sentencedNEW YORK (AP) - Jamal Shyne Barrow was sentenced Friday to 10 yearsin prison for shooting and wounding two people during a disputebetween rap impresario Sean Puffy Combs and another man in a TimesSquare nightclub. Barrow admitted at trial that he pulled out a gunand fired during the fracas at Club New York on Dec. 27, 1999.Before handing down the sentence, state Supreme Court JusticeCharles Solomon called Barrow smart, talented and charitable butsaid he couldn't lose sight of the fact that Barrow had fired a gunin a nightclub "as crowded as a subway in rush hour." Barrow, 22,was charged with first-degree assault, gun possession and recklessendangerment. His co-defendants - Combs and his bodyguard, AnthonyJones - were acquitted of bribery and gun possession. While holdingthe hand of one of his lawyers, Barrow recited the Lord's Prayer andthen apologized to the court and his victims. He told Solomon thathe was not a threat to society and ask for leniency.------------------ AIM vampienyc10e-mail: vampie@aol.com “You’re as special as you think you are.” - Care Bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacychase Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Such a waste of a talented young man! I do not know much about NY laws, however I speculate he will have to serve at least half of that sentence! However some of the best rap artists to date, have still continued to make music in jail.------------------Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward.
