Lil Boosie's fate now  lies in the hands of a Louisiana jury. Both the prosecution and the defense concluded their cases in the rapper's murder trial Thursday (May 10). Over the six-day trial, prosecutors called a total of 27 witnesses to the stand, while Boosie's defense team rested their case without calling a witness.  “Based upon the burden of proof lying with the state, the defense rests with the witnesses the state has put on,” said Boosie's attorney Jason Williams.

Jurors opted to recess rather than go straight into deliberations, and will return Friday (May 10) morning to hear closing arguments. Earlier in the week the man accused of carrying out Boosie's murder-for-hire, Mike “Marlo Mike” Louding, recanted his alleged murder confession maintaining that he never admitted to police that he shot and killed victim, Terry Boyd. According to Louding, he was with Boosie's at his house, alongside accused getaway driver, Adrienne Pittman.

The prosecution also played the lyrics to the 29-year-old's song “187” which they attest, proves that he paid Louding $2,800 to commit the crime. “Yo Marlo/He drive a Monte Carlo/That Itchbay gray, I want that N***a dead today,” Boosie raps on the track. Forensic specialist also investigated Boosie's hard drive and concluded that he recorded the song one hour before the shooting took place. Also damaging to the image that his lawyers are trying to paint, is the fact that the Louisiana native has an AK-47 inked on his stomach with the words, Yo Boosie Who's Next?

Boosie, born Torrance Hatch, was indicted on murder charges in 2010.

Once the screening process is over, only 12 people will be chosen to decide the fate of the 29-year-old.  Given the high-profile nature of the case, extra security has been brought into the courtroom, as a precaution.

Boosie, born Torrence Hatch, is suspected of paying for the 2009 murder of  Terry Body. Prosecutors in the case will use his lyrics as proof of his involvement in the shooting, but Boosie's defense attorney maintains that his client was not involved in the murder-for-hire, noting that his lyrics prove nothing.  "Torrence Hatch wrote some of those lyrics," said his attorney Jason Williams. "There are other artists who wrote other parts of the lyrics. The lyrics have nothing to do with this crime. He's a rap artist. He has thousands of lyrics."

Since being locked up, Boosie has kept in contact with his fans, by penning a letter to his supporters posted by Ozone Magazine and on the site, BoosieJustice.com. If convicted, he faces life in prison.

Tunechi's luxury crib is actually up for sale and listed at a cool $1.7 million. "It's an immaculate property," said listing agent Lincoy Moliere, who wouldn't comment on if Weezy still lived at the property. "It's in great condition. It's going to make somebody very happy."

If you have the funds, it will buy you five bedrooms and five bathrooms as well as a four car garage, a pool house, a marble staircase with gold trimming and a gym. Also, the master suite has his and her baths with a steam room and jacuzzi and a fireplace. It looks like Weezy won't be making a profit if and when the house sells, though. Records show it was purchased in 2006 for $1.75 million.

Peep photos of the property in the gallery. Nice chandelier.

For the first time since being incarcerated, Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie was interviewed from behind prison walls.

Boosie spoke with XXLmag.com, and a gave the magazine/website a detailed description of his life behind bars.

“Some days I'm maintaining, but I'm missing my family and the life I had out there,” Boosie said. “My first seven months I was in population, but since June I've been on 23-hour lockdown.”

“They said they're trying to protect me because of who I am. They got people get stabbed here, killed here. Pretty rough people here. A lot of rats here, snitches.”

“[I'm here] 'cause of the songs I made, before I was indicted, about the police in Baton Rouge and what's going on here,” he continued.

“There's a lot with our record label, that the system don't like… They took my hard drive out of my house after I got arrested. I have albums for days in there. They still haven't returned it. They've had it for damn near a year now. I need that music.”

“I'm leaving Louisiana the first day I get out of prison,” Boosie said. “I'm a major target down here. I'll thank God for everything and get back to the money.”

Boosie has been in jail for a year, while waiting to go to trial on murder charges. Boosie could be facing the death penalty,

Lil Boosie has been incarcerated for nearly a year, and troubles continue to mount for the 28-year-old Louisiana rapper.

While Boosie awaits his trial on murder charges, East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office is planning to sell the rapper's Louisiana home.

According to reports, Boosie, real name Torence I. Hatch, failed to pay $375,270.74 on January 20, 2011 to keep his home from being auctioned.

As a result, the home, located on Centurion Place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is scheduled to be auctioned off on June 29, 2011.

We'll assume all that money Boosie was tossing in this Youtube video dried up a long time ago, especially since his mother hit the web a few months ago to ask for support.

Boosie is facing the death penalty in his upcoming trial, and it can't get much worse than that.

Still, a picture of Boosie in his prison cell was released on the internet this weekend, and it appears that he's keeping his head (and jewelry) up.

Take a look:

Shots range out in an East St. Louis club following a performance by Louisiana rapper, Webbie leaving one security guard injured.

Webbie was in town to performing when a fight broke out inside of Blackman's Plaza early Sunday morning (April 3). Over 40 officers reportedly responded to the call of huge fights taking place in and outside of the club, according to police reports.

The shooting occurred when one security guard attempting to quell the melee struck an unruly patron with his gun, accidentally discharging his weapon, striking another security guard.

According to Mayor Alvin L. Parks, Blackmon's will temporarily lose its liquor license, as police investigate the incident.

Having his sentence doubled to 4 years, the rapper was taken away at a point where his career could have catapulted.

As a friend of Boosie, rapper Jeezy has spoke with VIBE to give his take on the Louisiana native and his new circumstances in a cell.

"I sit back and I just think, that the lil' homie [Lil' Boosie] is sitting there in a cell but he was on top of the world."

The rapper reflected on how Boosie was at a point in which he could have peaked and brought his city right behind him.

"In his lil' world in Lousiana he was that n*gga. I used to tell him all the time your moves are big! And I done went down there and hung out with him in the club in the streets and everything, I done been in his hood and everything, so to me, it's a sad thing to see...So you know, it just come with the territory, man, but it's just hard, dog.”

Jeezy added how his perception of success was drastically changed after becoming a rapper and how things quickly change, sometimes for the worse.

“I used to hear cats like 8Ball & MJG, Pac, all of them rap about what it used to be like [when you get successful] and say what the h*ll? It can't be that bad. Oh, it is. I see it now...If you ever listen to everybody's second or third albums, it's pretty much the same story: 'these n*ggas tripping.' I'm the same n*gga. I don't think you change, I just think the things around you change."

Just five days into the year, those that operate outside of the law are doing things that seem dumber and dumber by the instance.

In another case of dumb criminal meets lucky police, John Turnpaugh of New Orleans had the audacity to call local police and inform them that he had plans to kill President Obama as well as the First Lady.

Secret service agents were promptly notified of the call and traced the 47-year-old mans cell phone using call logs.

Turnpaugh was taken into custody and charged with threatening the president, a charge that was complimented by several local offenses including drug possession and possession of an illegal firearm.

He is scheduled to appear in federal court at the end of this week.
