US RAPPER Lil Wayne was sentenced to one year in jail on Monday on a gun possession charge in a 2007 incident. Justice Charles Solomon passed the sentence for attempted criminal possession of a weapon. In July of 2007 police searched Lil Wayne’s tour bus and found a loaded .40-caliber pistol.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne delivered only a brief bow to fans and supporters as he was led out of a courtroom in handcuffs to start serving his one year long sentence. Lil Wayne “Tha Carter III” was the best-selling album of 2008 and won a Grammy for best rap album. His latest album, “Rebirth,” was released last month.
Dressed in black jeans, a black shirt and a gray jacket, Lil Wayne was sat next to his lawyer, Stacey Richman, without addressing the court. The 27-year-old winner of four Grammys Lil Wayne made no statement after New York state Judge Charles Solomon handed down the sentence. He will serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison.
