Last year, Bobby Shmurda had the nation rocking to “Hot Boy” while doing the Shmoney dance. But before 2015 hit, him and 13 members of GS9 were indicted and behind bars for a slew of charges including conspiracy, murder, assault, drug and weapons charges. This might be a case of when keeping it real goes wrong. “Just caught a body bout a week ago!”
The song is great but low key dry snitching on everybody including yourself. Just in case you forgot, listen!
They were all held on bail for $2M a piece and things have been quiet ever since. As a matter of fact, Bobby Shmurda’s last tweet was December 16th. All 13 of them will have their day in court beginning June 25th.
In a hearing today at Manhattan Supreme Court, both Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel were given a June 25 hearing to begin their trial. Because there isn’t a court room with enough space to accommodate all of the defendants named in the indictment, the group is likely to be split into four or five smaller groups, with both Shmurda and Rebel’s lawyers—Kenneth Montgomery and Javier Solano, respectively—requesting that Judge James Burke and the District Attorney’s office place their clients in the first group in order to expedite the trial where possible.
Shortly before 11:30 this morning, Bobby Shmurda, real name Ackquille Pollard, was brought into the same courtroom that housed his initial hearing in January, wearing an orange Department of Justice jumpsuit and hands cuffed behind his back. As was the case during the first hearing, Shmurda seemed resigned, not making much if any eye contact with the 40 or so people in attendance. His attorney Montgomery requested the paperwork from Shmurda’s 2014 Brooklyn gun charge, which was dropped following the indictment last December, but otherwise kept the hearing brief.
