Top 5: Things T.I. Thought About At His Sentencing
by: Talib Nelson on Mar 27 2009
Last year rapper T.I. (Real name: Clifford Harris) was arrested on charges of felony weapons possession in a federal sting after his bodyguard-turned-informant delivered three machine guns and two silencers to the hip-hop star. In attempts to shorten what could have been a 30 year prison sentence T.I. agreed to a plea deal. The terms of the deal were as follows: If he completed 1,000 hours of community service before sentencing, paid a $100,000 fine and agreed to complete another 500 hours of community service after his time behind bars, he would be sentenced to a year and a day in prison. Today (3/27/09) he returned to court and was sentenced to 366 days as per the deal. Here are the Top 5 things I think he thought about as he was sentenced.
| 5. "I wonder if I would have gotten less time if it were less guns? I mean I do only have two hands..." |  |
| 4. "Well at least when I get out the streets will love me, I'll sell millions of records, I can probably win a Grammy or two and......wait a minute.....never mind..." |  |
| 3. "I know I should have gotten that bodyguard one of these t-shirts for Christmas instead of those Louis Vuitton shoes." |  |
| 2. "Is it too late to change lawyers? I want this guy instead." |  |
| 1. "Well at least it was just dangerous machine guns that can kill people and not something worse like you I dunno....cruelty to animals." TI sentence = 366 days Michael Vick sentence = 700 days |  |
