Prodigy From Mobb Deep Begins Gun Trial

sq-prodigy-arrest-cohoes

Next Tuesday (Oct 9th), Prodigy from Mobb Deep will begin his begin  his trial for handgun possession.

Last October while trying to secure a parking spot in New York, the G-Unit rapper drove down oncoming traffic in his armored Suburban. This caused the police to pull him over and based on motions near the dash board (and the armored doors/windows) the police decided to search his vehicle.

Low and behold a loaded unlicensed .22 caliber hand gun lay in his console.  Prodigy claims he had no idea it was in the vehicle. 

If he is convicted of handgun possession he faces up to 15 years in prison as this is his third time being charged.  I guess we will find out next week the results of yet another controversial trial.
