Ja Rule Dismissal Thrown Out, Faces 3 Year Prison Sentence
Although it's been years since Ja Rule made a real statement in music, he's seeing his name brought up headlines, this time for a possible upcoming prison sentence.
A federal judge ruled against Ja, real name Jeffrey Atkins, in court after he asked for a dismissal of a gun possession charge.
According to Ja, the case has no substance because police had no right to search his Maybach after a 2007 concert performance in New York.
The police did complete the search however and found a .40-cal pistol that was unlicensed and after a tip from Ja himself, a small amount of marijuana.
The judge did allow a dismissal on Ja's admission to the substance but he'll have to report back to court in March to face the gun possession charge which carries a minimum 3 and 1/2 years prison.
See what happens when you're out there doing all that thug lovin? Looks like him and Lil Wayne may soon be cell mates.
SMH.....

I think the real question is here...Ja Rule had a Maybach in 2007??
[...] Ja Rule has been in the news again recently for his trouble with the law. He was arrested in 2007 after cops found a gun and weed in his car. He asked the court to dismiss the gun possession charge on the grounds that the police had no right to search his car. The judge didn’t agree. So he’ll be back in court in March to face the charges which could get him 3 ½ years in prison. Source [...]
