Rapper G-Dep Pleas Not Guilty to 93 Murder

 


[/p]According to WSJ former Bad Boy recording artist G-Dep entered a plea of not guilty in court yesterday. G-Dep confessed to a 1993 shooting to relieve himself of the anguish and pain he suffered, not knowing the victim of the shooting was deceased.[/p]Mr. Coleman, his hands cuffed behind his back, didn't speak at the arraignment other than to enter his plea. He smiled at the dozen or so supporters he had in the courtroom as he walked in.[/p]After the hearing, his lawyer, Anthony Ricco, said Mr. Coleman still stands by his earlier story that he shot Mr. Henkel Oct. 19, 1993. Mr. Ricco said the not-guilty plea was more of a procedural step, adding that it would allow him time to examine Mr. Coleman's confession, which he said was likely made while under the influence of drugs.[/p]"We want to make sure what we're dealing with the reality of what actually happened that night," he said, explaining that Mr. Coleman has struggled with PCP use over the years. Mr. Ricco said he expects to reach a plea deal with the district attorney's office.[/p]Mr. Coleman, who has a wife and three children, reached the height of his music career in the early 2000s, when he was a part of Bad Boy Entertainment, a label owned by Sean Combs, then known as Puff Daddy. One of his best-known tracks, "Let's Get It," was a performance with Mr. Combs that popularized a dance known as the Harlem Shake.[/p]Mr. Coleman is no longer affiliated with the label. He's currently being held without bail.[/p]Asked what prompted Mr. Coleman to come forward, Mr. Ricco said his client "had been haunted by this." Mr. Ricco said his client's decision might have been prompted by his drug-abuse program. Such programs are known to push participants to make amends.[/p] [/p] Related posts Rapper G-Dep Admits To Murder 17 Years Ago (December 18, 2010)">Rapper G-Dep Admits To Murder 17 Years Ago (1)
