The defense had conceded that Cognac Jack fired a shot toward Makeda Barnes-Joesph after she suspected her of stealing $3,000, but said it was an accident.
“Keep your pistol, f*** a fight.” - - Pimp C
Hey I have no love for folks who want to pistol you for $3,000 and you a "Celebrity" Are you serious?!
The trial began at noon. As the diverse jury, consisting of many cultures and ages, read their verdict, Remy placed her head on the table in shock. She was found guilty on four charges, including assault in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon and coercion. She was not charged with gang assault, witness int intimidation or witness tampering from a separate incident.
Remy was then cuffed and escorted out of the court. As the door closed, she could be heard crying out, “Oh my God.” A female officer rushed to calm her down.
Remy’s brother hollered out, “This is bullsh*t,” as the verdict was being read. The judge ordered him to be escorted out of the court room. Remy’s stylist cried.
“We are very disappointed with the jury’s verdict,” Fisher told SOHH. Remy wasn’t ready for this. We plan to appeal all of the assault related charges.”
“Remy didn’t expect this,” Fisher continued. “She didn’t tell her 8-year-old son, who she left this morning [she would not be returning home].”
“They all lied,” Remy’s brother told SOHH in an outrage outside of the Manhattan court building. “They lied to the police and they lied on the stand,” he added as he told a reporter to stop snapping photos. [source]
A few supporters of Barnes-Joseph cheered and wept when they heard the verdict. Some chanted “bye, bye” in an almost taunting singsong as Cognac left the courtroom.
Remy is looking at 25 years in prison. I’m getting teary-eyed just sitting here thinking about all the HAM-tastic moments we have shared together on this site. I . . . I don’t want to talk about it any more.
