Rapper DMX Pleads Guilty
December 31st, 2008
Rapper DMX, shackled and garbed in true jailbird attire in an Arizona courtroom Tuesday, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty, theft and drug possession. The 38-year-old rapper (whose real name is Earl Simmons) sat quietly in his Black-and-white-striped prison uniform as the official charges were read into the record: one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty, one felony count of theft, and one count each of felony possession of marijuana and a narcotic drug. If the case had gone to trial and Simmons had been convicted, he would now be looking at a possible 10-year sentence. Under Tuesday’s plea deal, he is expected to get the minimum 90-day jail sentence, plus probation. The agreement precludes him from owning any animals and possessing any weapons; in addition, he is required to attend an animal-offender treatment program. Violating probation could have him looking again at those 10 years. DMX’s albums include “It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot” and “Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood” and “Year of the Dog … Again.”
Silly old Earl he will end up facing them 10 years, he will come out after the 90 & not attend them classes!! Shakes Head.
He did the right thing and took blame for his actions. Thank god!
This guy has been blessed with so much talent and for him to stoop so low with these charges. I hope that he will get help as he has started to accept responsibility.
THATS WHATS UP AT LEAST SOMEONE TAKES THE BLAME FOR WHAT THEY DID. NOWADAYS PEOPLE CLAIM TO BE INNOCENT. SMART MOVE DMX.
I agree he is going to come out and do something stupid that he shouldn’t have done. I think that he got off easy.
you did the right thang at least you turned your self in( never colud of made it with out you god)
DMX you are getting to old to keep doing the same thing. Get a clue and change the way you think and live. It is not cute and I don’t think to many people is thinkiing it is cute either. Grow up.
HEY TORIE YOU SHOULD READ YOUR COMMENT BEFORE YOU SEND THEM BECAUSE YOU NEED ALOT OF HELP WITH YOUR SPELLING IT’S SPELL COULD AND NOT COLUD. AND MARVIN SAPP SAY NEVER COULD HAVE MAKE IT WITH OUT YOU. BABY GIRL GET YOURSELF SOME HELP
This is one story I am tired of reading. I do not feel sorry for this individual. The country is in crisis, I do not want to read about another rapper going to jail for stupid things that is not news worthy. Who cares what he does in his personal time. Maybe if they would focus more on solving the economy problems than on sending a black man to jail, maybe the country would not be in this predicament.
