Proving she is not going down without a fight, shooter Remy Ma is seeking to overturn her 8 year prison sentence for the shooting of a former friend. Remy, who is currently serving her sentence at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women, has attained the services of super lawyer William “Billy” Murphy, Jr. Murphy is part of the prestigious New York Murphy Law Firm and also represents other rappers such as Redman, DMX, Mary J., and Missy Elliot. It appears both Remy and her new counsel feel very confident about their chances for an appeal. “We are pleased to handle Remy Ma’s appeal,” Murphy said. “We are confident that when we present all the facts, the public for the first time will get a true picture of what actually happened; and Remy will be vindicated.” It is not known what new facts or tactics the new defense will take but Remy has long said she was not given a fair trial due to the fact that the jury was an all white jury. “With the addition of Mr. Murphy, I now believe I have assembled a team that will have the might and expertise to tell my side of the story,” stated a hopeful Remy Ma. “I am confident that after hearing everything my side will prevail. Mr. Murphy comes highly recommended and I am pleased that he has agreed to lead my defense team.” Makeda Barnes Joseph, the woman that Remy shot in the gut, is currently involved in a multi million dollar lawsuit with everyone from Remy herself, to the club owners where it happened, to the hot dog vendor that was posted on the curb when it happened. She’s really going for broke on that one. No word yet on when the new trial proceedings could start for Remy but keep her in your prayers. And hope Makeda gets all the money she’s looking for, don’t hate.
