Lil Wayne Sentenced To 1-Year In Prison

"Video: Lil Wayne Sentenced to 1 Year"

Rapper Lil' Wayne has been sentenced to one year in prison on gun possession charges. The sentence was handed down in a New York courtroom, with many speculating he is headed to the notorious Riker's Island prison.

Lil' Wayne: my poor booty!

Lil Wayne's lawyer requested he be placed in protective custody, due to his high profile and the judge agreed. The Judiciary Report is not for special treatment of celebrities, but as stated on the site last week, in light of the fact Wayne is famous and allegedly affiliated with a dangerous street gang whose rivals are waiting on him, it is best that he be kept out of the general population in prison. Therefore, the Judiciary Report agrees with the judge's decision.

Not to mention, Wayne isn't exactly ripped like the Incredible Hulk/Madonna. How's he going to defend himself in the general population.

Lastly, he should look at this time of incarceration as a chance to detox from the multiple illegal narcotics he takes that could cause him to overdose one day.
