Bobby Shmurda Is One Step Closer To Being Released From Prison

His attorney has confirmed that the Brooklyn D.A. is dropping Shmurda’s gun charges.

January 23, 2015

Back in December when Bobby Shmurda was indicted for conspiracy to commit 2nd degree murder and assault, along with weapons and narcotics charges, his attorney Howard Greenberg told FADER, "I'm not going to let them crucify Bobby Shmurda." A month later, during which time Shmurda has sat in prison at Rikers Island, Greenberg is well on his way to making good on his word. The "Brooklyn D.A. office announced that the gun case in Brooklyn will be dismissed in about two weeks," Greenberg told REVOLT, referring to the allegation that Shmurda shot into a crowd of people standing outside of a barber shop last June. In a separate incident the same month, Shmurda was arrested for possession of two guns and narcotics paraphernalia. Shmurda still has to beat charges in Manhattan though during a January 29 trial before he's completely in the clear. "Brooklyn is done and now it's on to Manhattan, where we need to teach these adversaries a lesson."
