Rapper Could Get 25 Years Prison Time
March 7th, 2008Jury selection begins in Remy Ma shooting case
Potential jurors are being interviewed in the felonious assault trial of rapper Remy Ma. She’s alleged to have shot a long-time acquaintance twice in the abdomen last summer after a dispute about money. Remy reportedly accused Makeda Barnes-Joseph of stealing $2,000. Jury selection in the trial began Thursday in New York. Remy Ma has pleaded not guilty and is free on bail. She faces up to 25 years in prison, if convicted. Do you think she’ll get time?

Yea I believe she should get time. What makes her so special that she shouldn’t serve any time for what she has done? Well, an EYE for an EYE and a TOOTH for a TOOTH..
I think she should get probation because if we were in her shoes and someone stole our money what would be our first thought shoot that person she may not be thinking at that time.
hey she probably did it but she should be tried!!
Just ask your self what if lt was your family member.We have entertainers who are child moslesters and thugs and we idolize these criminals. What do that say about us.
I was reading a few of the comments listed and I would like to say a few things. First, giving all glory, honor and praise to the Most High God. Now, to shoot someone over money is a horrible thing to do, especially $2,000.00. I am not defending anyone at all. I think it was the principal of the whole matter. I think that Remy Ma, acted in anger and yes she does deserve to do a little time, but 25 years is a very steep sentence. Depending on the seriousness of the injury that is how they caculate the jail time. The other woman involved should have just asked her if she could borrow the money or can she have it bcause she had bills to pay or whatever the case maybe. I just think that we as a people should start to pray for everyone and put God first. As I read in one comment the enemy comes but to steal, kill and destroy. I agree with that sista that wrote that. We have to be God pleasers not people pleasers. STOP giving satan reign over things, he is the prince of the power of the air; he is NOT in no way shape or form the Most High Jesus Christ. With that being said, I will continue to lift Remy Ma and the woman who was shot in my prayers and I pray that God be glorified in all of this. We as a people (meaning African Americans) have to really wake up and take a hard look at the BIBLE and see what GOD’S instructions are for us. Believe me, I am so glad that I am a child of the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS. Be blessed whomever may read my comment. God Bless the persons who read this and the staff at BET.
well personally some people do stupid things and make mistakes and dont realize that they did something wrong until after the fact. But whatever happens..happens. Whatever shes not charged with or charged with she will have to face it wether she wants to or not.Everyone has to face everything difficult once in their life.
but at the time yolanda did that, she prolly wasnt thinkin about the consequences.I dont know if i could say i wouldnt do it b/c i might do it, if it came down to it…
I really think she shouldn’t go to jail that long..maybe a couple years but 25 years is to long for my gurl Remy Ma.
in all honesty people get killed for less, more and for stupid things a lot worse than money. Maybe having a leveled head before you act might help sometimes. Was this a spur of the moment thing or did she have time to think about it. The article didn’t say if he died or not.But she needs to ask herself one question.WAS IT WORTH IT?
The Whole Thing is stupid…2000.00 25 years
I think she should do time cause like TG said if it was one of us we would do the time. These rappers is doing all of these crimes and not having any real punishment and the stuff is unfair. But if I was a judge I wounldn’t care if you was a mega movie star or a mega Rapper im going treat you the same as everbody else and give you that 25 years.
I thinkkshe should get time just because she has money she shouldn’t get the chancec to go around shooting people that’s stupid and unfair
Remy just need to chill out and be cool she aint gotta shot nobody over no money, I proboly would have nocked who ever took my money out or bust they head but i still wouldnt shot nobody
she should do time but not 25 years but should be thankful if they dont give her life
I think remy should get like 8 years in prison..
If it was awhite person they would get off.
Look at paris hilton and all of them they don.t really be doin no time. I love remy to death. And that girl should of never stole her money. my uncle shot a man in da hand he only got 8 years. They be trying to oil these black ppl up..
We are living in white america

i think that the time she is given i sa alittle too much but its right that she should pay for her crime but the law is gettin’ jail happy..25 yrs…come on now get serious
