Rapper Remy Ma Convicted In ‘07 Shooting
Rapper Remy Ma thought a woman in her entourage stole $3,000 from her purse so she pulled out a .45 caliber pistol and shot her outside a nightclub last year.
Remy claimed that she did indeed shoot the woman, but it was accidental. She tried to snatch the woman’s purse from her to see if the missing money was inside and the gun went off during the scuffle.
Naturally, the jury rejected the ridiculous story and found her guilty of intentional assault and several other charges. Remy Ma whose real name is Remy Smith is now facing a maximum of 25 years in prison, but a minimum of 10 years.
Remy Ma maintained an arrogant swagger throughout the trial, wearing flamboyant clothing and acting as if the whole episode was movie and not real life.
The judge wasn’t amused and ordered her to remain in jail until her sentencing later this month. Meaning that Remy Ma has at a minimum 10 years to figure out why she threw her life and career away for $3,000.
Ms. Smith, 26, kept her composure as Justice Rena K. Uviller ordered her jailed until her sentencing next month.
It was only when court officers slammed the heavy door to the courtroom holding cell behind her that she broke down, wailing, “My son! My son!” over and over again. Mr. Fisher said later that Ms. Smith had been so optimistic that she would be acquitted that she had not said goodbye to her 8-year-old son that morning.
Now that’s gangsta!
