Bobby Shmurda Jail Sentence: Rapper's Lawyer Speaks Up On Upcoming Trial, 'I Know What We're Up Against' [VIDEO]
As rapper Bobby Shmurda lingers behind bars, his lawyer has spoken out on where the case is expected to go from here.
Rumor Claimed Bobby Shmurda Was Murdered In Jail?
In an interview with XXL posted on Tuesday, the rapper's attorney Kenneth J. Montgomery talked about Shmurda's upcoming trial and what the judge might do.
"I expect- like most of my cases, the thousands of cases that I've had- I expect the judge to have a decision based on a motion that I authored and gave the courts and the prosecutors to respond," Montgomery said. "And I expect the case to be put on some sort of track for discovery to make sure all the paperwork is turned over."
Bobby Shmurda Not Injured In Rumored Brawl?
Shmurda has reportedly been charged with gang conspiracy, drugs and weapons. His bail is at $2 million and Montgomery doesn't believe the judge will reduce it. He does, however, have a more realistic goal for what's about to take place in the trial.
"I think the jury will adjourn for more discovery and hammer out the legal issues," the lawyer said. "I think we're going to continue trying to explore to meet the bail package and get someone involved in which his bail package can work."
Whatever happens in court, Montgomery just wants fairness for his client.
"What I would want is some reasonableness to take place and that this young man can be given a reasonable bail and get out," he said. "But I know what we're up against. We're not up against reason. We're up against the rule of law."
