Lil Wayne will face prison time for one year for possession of an illegal handgun found on his tour bus that had traces of his DNA on it. The rapper pleaded guilty to charges of attempted weapon possession. Though he will be facing prison time, Lil Wayne will only be in prison for 1 year, compared to a potentially longer time of at least 3 1/2 year sentence, had he been found guilty of illegal gun possession charges.
At a court in New York, Lil Wayne politely answered the judge’s questions with “Yes, sir” and “No, Sir” as he entered his plea to second-degree attempted weapon possession. Lil Wayne also acknowledged that he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun on his tour bus.
When the judge warned the rapper that he would not be able to withdraw the plea as some people try to do, Lil Wayne stated:
“I’m not one of those people.”
Prosecutors had revealed that small amounts of the rapper’s DNA were discovered on the gun, thus solidifying the evidence that sent Lil Wayne in prison for one year. His attorney, defense lawyer Stacey Richman denied that the gun was Lil Wayne’s, and said that the testing technique was too problematic to disprove and refute.
