Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda is awaiting his new trial in May, but he recently called Revolt from jail to talk about his legal woes.
Shmurda revealed that he is spending a lot of his time in the jail library learning more about his case and his rights. He tells Revolt, “I’ve been locked up for 14-15 months now [and] been in the law library, so I looked up several laws pertaining to my case saying that my bail isn’t supposed to be high and they’re violating the eighth amendment with that. They violating my constitutional rights, my civil rights, everything. I’m not even supposed to be in Manhattan right now, I want everybody to know that. All of this is claims. I got a narcotics D.A. and there’s no drugs caught in this case. There’s no drugs, no kingpin charges, nothing.”
According to his lawyer, Alex Spiro, they feel that the police targeted him in this case. Bobby Shmurda agrees, “It doesn’t make no sense. All of these alleged crimes, they saying that we murdered people and reckless endangerment, they have no evidence,” Shmurda said. “I feel like what they’re doing right now is what they do to a lot of people when they don’t have no case on them… I was targeted because of my rap music, it’s crazy.”
Hopefully Bobby Shmurda receives the justice he’s been wishing for at his trial in May.
