Two of the defendants arrested with Bobby Shmurda and the GS9 crew have already been convicted, though Shmurda's attorney Alex Spiro has said their cases have nothing to do with the rapper's. “[Shmurda] was not present for or involved with any of the allegations in this this case.” Shmurda is currently suing the NYPD for false arrest.
