Bobby Shmurda just made a life changing decision today in court today. The “Hot N*gga” rapper pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon and criminally using drug paraphernalia.
Bobby wasn’t alone in accepting a plea deal. Bobby’s GS9 brothers Chad “Rowdy Rebel” Marshall and Nicholas McCoy also accepted a plea deal from the prosecution.
The three young men agreed to seven years in prison rather than risk trial, which was set to begin Monday.
Bobby pleaded guilty to 4th-degree conspiracy, which carries a sentence of one to three years, and 2nd-degree criminal weapons possession, which carries a sentence of seven years, according to Billboard. The two charges will run concurrently, meaning Bobby will face a maximum of seven years in prison.
Bobby will also face five years of probation, according to TMZ.
Bobby, who has been in jail since December 2014, will get credit for time served, leaving five years remaining on his sentence.
Bobby faced 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
It was perhaps a smart decision for Bobby to take the plea deal. The justice system showed no mercy to GS9 members A-Rod and Rasha.
A-Rod, whose real name is Alex Crandon, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 53 1/3 years in prison for conspiracy, murder, attempted murder and other charges.
Rasha, whose real name is Rashid Derissant was sentenced to 98 years on gang-related charges, including conspiracy, murder, attempted murder and assault.
