NEW YORK - Grammy-winning rapper Lil' Kim was sentenced Wednesday to a year and a day in prison and fined $50,000 for lying to a federal grand jury to protect friends involved in a 2001 shootout outside a Manhattan radio station.

First, damn you're quick. Now she can relly claim to a " REAL " Queen B Gangsta!

hmmm...lying is against the law. sounds an awful lot like "though shall not lie."

perhaps if the 10 commandments had been in the court to remind lil' kim about the consequences of lying under oath, she wouldn't be going to jail for a year.

Isn't that why God gave us the intelligence and self-awareness to create statutes governing lying under oath in a judicial forum?

She'll be out on bail in six months.

oop--oh well, then. a year and a day, hmm?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Maybe even less. Apart from that criminal plastic surgery, has she got any previous convictions? I don't think so.

Shapeshifter said:

She's convicted of a federal crime. No parole in the federal system, prior convitions have nothing to do with it now that she's been sentenced.

You have to serve most of a federal sentence. Best case scenario, she could get a maximum of 15% of her time off for good behavior. That's about 2 months, which she'd probably do in a halfway house.

Indeed.

She's lucky the Supreme Court eviscerated the sentencing guidelines, or she could have gotten more.
