Coon Clemency: Kodak Black Asks Judge For Mercy In Gun Case

Kodak Black is finally playing nice with the legal system but it might be too late. He is asking for sympathy for an upcoming hearing.

Bossip is exclusively reporting that the rapper has pleaded to a judge that he be given the lightest sentence possible when it comes to his federal gun charges. The Florida native admitted to lying on a gun application knowing he was forbidden to purchase firearms since he is on bond for a rape accusation.

The website reports that last week his legal team filed paperwork asking the magistrate to only hit him with three to three and a half years which is the minimum for that level of conviction. His lawyers are alleging the crime was pure deception and not possession. They argue the “ZEZE” MC was facing death threats from rival gangs thus the need for firearms. Considering that the maximum sentence for his wrongdoings is 10 years, Kodak is at least thinking ahead.

The judgement is expected to be served this week.

While his rhyming ability and overall sanity was often in question Kodak Black’s has always been known to be with the ish. It seems the rapper had a bloody physical altercation behind bars.

As per HipHopDX the Florida native got into something at Miami’s Federal Detention Center where he is being held. WPLG Local 10 News is reporting that he got into a brawl with another inmate. In an effort to diffuse the situation a guard intervened but ended up getting injured in the process. The station is claiming that the correctional facility employee was kicked in the groin. While the injury does not seem too gruesome on paper the person in question had to be rushed to hospital to undergo surgery.

The “No Flockin” rapper was caught with weapons in March which he plead guilty to. He is waiting for sentencing which is scheduled for November 13. Kodak could face eight years if the judge hits him with the maximum.
