Lil Wayne Facing 1-Year In Prison

Lil men usually don't fare too well in prison

Atheist rapper Lil Wayne has been sentenced to 1-year in prison on illegal gun possession charges. He pled guilty today in a New York court. This is not the rapper's first brush with the law, as he was previously arrested for drug possession.

It's time for Lil Wayne to shed that dangerous lifestyle he glorifies in his music and attempts to live out in his personal life, as he has children and more on the way. It's difficult to be a dad when you are in prison.

Forsaking the Bible for the dictionary, as you claim, was also unwise, as the dictionary can't save you, but Jesus can.

Lil Wayne pleads to attempted gun possession

NEW YORK — Lil Wayne, who owned last year's best-selling album and is currently No. 1 on the pop charts, pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence.

The performer, arguably rap's most popular artist and one of pop's biggest acts, previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3 1/2 years in jail upon conviction. He remains free on bail while awaiting his February sentencing...

Chris Brown Surprise Sentencing

Sentencing Pushed Up Two Days

Video: Chris Brown sentenced in Rihanna assault case

Sony singer Chris Brown made an appearance in Los Angeles district court today, regarding the bloody brawl he engaged in, with so-called singer and girlfriend, Rihanna.

Chris Brown and lawyer Mark Geragos

He was sentenced to 5 years probation, 1 day in jail, 6 months of community service that is based in labor, 52 weeks of domestic violence and anger management counseling and over $5,000 in legal fines and restitution.

The judge ordered Brown not to acquire any new cases, lest she lock him up on felony charges. She also informed him she is aware of the "chatter" on the "airwaves" regarding him violating the current restraining order and is not afraid to incarcerate him, if she catches him doing so.

Rihanna

Here is a copy of the police report, in which only Rihanna told her side of the story, not that Chris could say anything to excuse his conduct, but they are both quite silent on exactly what triggered the row:

Judge Closes Court To Kill Inmate

Judge Sharon Keller

A sadistic, cruel, evil, vile judge, Sharon Keller also know as "Sharon Killer" deliberately closed the court, because she knew lawyers for a man on death row, with hours to live, were trying to file a last minute appeal, to save his life.

There were computer glitches barring the the appeal and when they rushed to the court to file, she instructed the courthouse be closed. Michael Richard was executed 3 hours later, when there were judges present in the court that could have received the appeal.

Michael Richard

Sharon Keller is now facing a civil trial that aims to revoke her judgeship. Plainly put, Keller should be facing fraud and negligent homicide charges, for depriving Michael Richard of his constitutional rights, in deeds that cost him his life. She tried to play god with this man's life and should answer for her actions in a court of law.

Furthermore, there have been a significant number of cases, where DNA evidence later acquitted the wrongfully accused. She had no business depriving him of the opportunity to do so, which is a legal right. Her conduct was thoroughly egregious.

Hasty judges quick to close out cases are always the worst and by far the most incompetent. Judges who quickly toss cases commit criminal fraud. A smart, astute, fair-minded judge, is willing to pore over a case and ascertain the true facts.

US judge 'ignored death row plea'

Richards was executed hours after Judge Keller allegedly closed the court. A judge in Texas has gone on trial accused of refusing to let lawyers for a convicted murderer on death row to lodge a last-minute appeal.

Sharon Keller is charged with professional misconduct. The prisoner, Michael Wayne Richard, was put to death hours after she allegedly shut the court, despite being told an appeal was imminent.

Half of all executions in the US last year were in Texas and Judge Keller has earned the nickname Sharon Killer.

She is known for her tough stance on the death penalty...Their efforts were delayed by computer glitches and when they phoned the court to request extra time, they say they were told court closes at 5pm.

Richard was put to death some three hours later. Now his lawyers claim Judge Keller deliberately ordered the courthouse to close at 5pm, knowing a last-minute appeal was imminent...

State prosecutors have charged Judge Keller with five counts of professional misconduct. They say her actions cast "public discredit" on the judiciary...

Man Gets Jail Time For Yawning In Court

Clifton Williams

Judge, Daniel Rozak, abused his position by sentencing a courtroom spectator, Clifton Williams, to jail for 6 months, over a, "Loud and boisterous" yawn.

Rozak has also sent individuals to jail over their cell phones ringing in court. Such conduct is very petty, adding to overcrowding in jails and does not reflect well on the justice system.

Shut Yer Mouth: Man Gets 6 Months for Yawning

Strict judge issues 6 months jail time for "loud and boisterous" yawn

Updated 1:31 PM EDT, Tue, Aug 11, 2009 - Make sure you get plenty of sleep before going to court. Clifton Williams didn't and he's been sentenced to six months in jail for yawning.

"I was flabbergasted because I didn't realize a judge could do that," Williams' father, Clifton Williams Sr., told the Chicago Tribune. "It seems to me like a yawn is an involuntary action."

Williams, 33, attended his cousin's July hearing at Will County Courthouse in Joliet. His cousin, Jason Mayfield, pled guilty to a felony drug charge. As the judge sentenced Mayfield to two years probation, Williams let out a yawn, an involuntary faux pas in such a formal setting.

Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak thought the yawn was criminal and sentenced Williams to six months in jail, the maximum penalty for contempt of court without a jury trial. Rozak's order said that Williams "raised his hands while at the same time making a loud yawning sound," causing a disrespectful interruption in court.

So in a strange turn of events Mayfield, the felon, will be able to walk freely, while Williams, the yawner, will have to spend at least three weeks behind bars for his offending yawn. But it's not out of character for Rozak...
