“Weezy Baby” is in a Manhattan courtroom today for a hearing regarding the gun case stemming from an arrest in 2007. LiL Wayne was arrested after police raided his tour bus following a concert and found a loaded .40-caliber pistol.
The hearing is centering around a bit of DNA that could end up being the key piece of evidence determining his guilt or innocence.
He was charged with one count of criminal weapons possession and one count of criminal possession of a loaded weapon, both carrying a maximum 15-year prison sentence. He of course pleaded not guilty.
Today’s proceeding focused on a tiny amount of DNA that was collected from his tour bus and might link Lil Wayne to the firearm.
Wayne’s defense attorney, Stacey Richmond, is expected to dispute prosecutors’ assertions that the profiling system is accepted by the scientific community.
LiL Wayne didn’t speak to reporters who were waiting outside courtroom. The hearing is scheduled to resume tomorrow.
And that’s not the only legal problem facing Lil Wayne, remember the arrest in Arizona back in 2008? Well in March of 2010, Lil Wayne will stand trial in Yuma, Arizona for felony drug and weapons charges. Hmmm, wonder if Birdman will say he’s a better inmate than the other rappers that are locked up????
