Remy Ma Files Appeal In Her Shooting Conviction
Posted by Bossip Staff
Remy is trying to fight her conviction for busting shots into her close friend:
Attorneys for Remy Ma filed a motion in a Manhattan Court Room this week appealing the verdict handed down against the rapper in March of this year. In court documents, the lawyers argue that errors committed by the judge presiding over the 15 day trial may have lead to an inaccurate verdict. At issue specifically, were the judge’s instructions regarding the testimony of Remy’s victim, Makeda Smith-Barnes, who was shot by the rapper outside a New York City nightclub during an argument over $3000. Fisher was barred by the court from arguing that the shooting in fact occurred during a struggle for the .45 caliber automatic handgun which, allegedly resulted in Smith-Barnes being shot in the abdomen at close range. In addition, Remy’s lawyers argue that by including a previous unrelated violent incident at the Player’s Club in the indictment of Remy Ma, Assistant District Attorney Michael McIntosh effectively managed to taint the jury, predisposing them to issue a guilty verdict. Remy, born Remy Smith, is currently serving an eight year prison term at the Bedford Hills Correctional facility, a maximum security prison just north of New York City. The rapper was convicted of first degree assault, criminal possession of a weapon and attempted coercion. She will be eligible for parole in September 2014.
Sounds like she is paying the lawyers to find reasons to release her…and saying the judge messed up is a crock of sh*t.

Not buying it.
Damm 2014! I would be making up sh!t too, to get out of there.
Please Remy Ma. You did the crime, you should do the time. Stop your whining.
Ya’ll should be ashamed of yourself if u was locked up you’d be trying all sorts of shit to get out! Ya’ll dont know every detail of what went down so let her be… Remy ma i feel you girl $3,000…I would have shot her to!
How pathetic!!!!! $3000.00 is not worth spending 8yrs in prision could have been life it she died and on top of that you do the math would you prefer to lose $3000.00 verse spending $100,000’s of dollars in court, lawyer and legal fees! It is not that damn deep…So Remy whatever convenienced you to just snap like that and you ask yourself was it worth it! Do your time and learn from this!
My thing is if ya shot her…just admit it and do the time. Maybe, shoot for a pardon or early parole release…but stop lying… Cause you guilty as fukk…! you had the gun..which says it all.. then you used the gun..which landed you in jail. all for what? a low budget amount of dough like that? I almost make that biweekly. dumb heffa. smdh
This woman is a danger for the society. Do you time!!
No sympathy for this broad. Since she wanted to keep it “gangsta,” she deserves what she got. So many people would love the opportunities she had to be an entertainer.
She is a ghetto-a** broad. And she’s ugly.
Only hoodrats feel the need to fight people to prove something. Who are you proving this to? And who cares? Now you gonna be in jail trying to “prove” your toughness.
Dumb, siddity a** broad.
3K was definitely not worth it. No amount of money is worth loosing 8 years of your young life. SO SAD, and I can bet that the other girl wakes up laughing at her everyday.
i cant stand remy. she’s an ignorant asshole and she gives black people a bad name. perpetuating stereotypes.
what pissed me off the post about that whole ordeal was miss jones giving the victim of remy’s antics a hard time on the radio. i swear there is something wrong with my race. this is a girl who got shot and they were acting like it wasn’t that bad.
Ummm thats kind of hard to do, since the person you shot was the one to admit that you did the crime! And another note, she should have never fled the scene of the crime (maybe things would be different, who really knows!?)
She should just sit this one out…and let GOD handle the rest!
God has a plan for all of us, don’t be to critical on Remy, she’s just trying to get out to be with her daughter… We all make mistakes… Peace Black People.
God has a plan for all of us, don’t be so critical on Remy she’s just trying to get home to her daughter and familia… We all make mistakes… Lets Git In!!!!
I can’t say I feel bad for her. She always talking about how hard she is and how she will do this and that to a person. Now she’s done it and don’t want to face the consequences of her actions. I think her laywer’s appeal will get shot down anyways. It is the job of the lawyers to do background research and the fact that she already gotten into trouble before at a club proved how this is not her first time. What if that lady had died or something? I’d say she needs to stay in jail and be good so she can get out in 2014, but shooting someone in the stomache is a serious deal.
Ain’t nothing wrong with trying to get out of jail, that’s what appeals are for. The system does make mistakes. But I hope this will serve as a lesson to young ppl that this gangster shit is not cute. Dressing up in orange jumpsuits and rapping behind bars is a lot different than being state property. The value of a human life has been diminished to the point you would shoot a friend over pocket change? I don’t blame rap music I blame United State Government and the way they rule the world with violence. hollywood and the FCC you can’t show a naked person or talk about sex but graphic violence is perfectly fine.
@blaq
I feel you, but at the same time it starts within. Black people have to quit worshipping the wrong things, nowadays it seems we will do anything if the money is right, whatever that means. We have a lot of issues that we need to deal with, whatever happen to us having morales and values?? Niggaz will kill another niggaz momma for a couple of dollars… Peace Blaq.
ACTUALLY, Pre-Law here, says that this might work. including prior bad actions is prejudicial, and it shouldn’t have never been mentioned during the case HOWEVER the fact that they just thinking about this makes me think she should also add ineffective counsel to her list of “lemme see if this will work”. and they should have demanded their client show up to court dressed like she had some sense without the long stupid weaves, and heavy makeup. less definitely would have been more in this case.
she needs to stop wasting money she don’t have.
shooting peeps over 3,000, when she coulda just chucked the loss up to lesson learned.
free my gurl remy…i luv u ma
THAT’S A LONG TIME TO GO WITHOUT SEX….
UT UH, UT UH, THAT IS TOO LONG, IM SORRY, SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT MUCH TIME….. I THINK THAT WAS EXCESSIVE,
That wig deserves at least 10 years hard time…… terrible.
What makes it crazy is that people will kill about money and things. The truth is, it all either gets spent on things that gather dust and rust, and in 10 years it wont be worth nearly what you paid for it. So please consider this the next time you get mad about $50 someone owes you. The best thing to do is let it ride and go make more money to really piss them off.
Uh…how bout putting a hit out on the hairdresser that that wack azz hair on her head!
“That wig deserves at least 10 years hard time…… terrible.”
—————————————————
Yes it does….lol….That Blonde bang drove me crazy….Anyway, Remy is the best femcee…IMO…She just has some issues like we all do…It’s easy for people to judge and say what she should have done and what they would have done if it were them….Truth is people are/were not in her shoes…She really is a true product of her environment….She had a hard life….Not making excuses for her IF SHE DID IT but…..I wish her the best…..
Gah, I’d almost forgotten how badly dressed cops can be! Men’s Wearhouse two-for-one week claims another pair of victims.
but then got slapped with eight and the bit ain’t looking so easy ! ha bitch that wasn’t gangsta that was stupid! Gangsta would have been to mask up on the bitch and give her one to make her know it but not at the club you a fool!
this is an outrageous lie! that bitch was actually arrested for having those bangs! lock that ratty- ass wig up and throw away the key!
this bitch should of gotten more than 8 years,she almost killed someone,i do not feel for her at all
HOLD YA HEAD REMY….NEW YORK LOVES YOU MAMMI…SHINE PO. WE AINT FORGET YOU NIGGA!!BUSS SHOTS
Love your photo Aunt Viv………

LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A BLEACH WAR
Love your photo Aunt Viv………
Yeah, I just bet she is, big time gangster and all..y
And what’s the rush? Lil Kim, Foxx anyone?
Da Brat won’t fare any better. THAT era is over. GOOD RIDDANCE!
this is a dumb-ass broad. you reap what you rap, you dummy! hahaha. $3g’s …and you shoot somebody? I would have cut the friend off and chalked it up as experience…that only costs $3k. That’s why I would never be in a ghetto-ass joint called the ‘players club’. Cause they attract dumb ho’s like this. Embarresing black-folk one more time. Thank God 4 Barack! To provide some balance to black-folks looking dumb, as usual.
