State Supreme Court Justice, Micki Scherer told Ja Rule (aka. Jeffrey Atkins) and his defense attorney that his co-defendants would have to post their own bail in regards to an ongoing case stemming from a gun charge on July 22nd in New York. Scherer states the rapper "put himself in the position of perhaps controlling the outcome of the case," adding, "I think the potential for (that) is a big problem."
Ja Rule and his co-denfendants, including limo driver Mohamed Gamal and Ja’s road manager, Dennis Cherry, were arrested following a Lil’ Wayne concert at the Beacon Theater after a .40 caliber handgun was discovered in the rapper’s Maybach by police, who also searched the vehicle after detecting the smell of some good ganja. The next day Ja posted Gamal and Cherry’s combined $170,000 bond, as well as his own $150,000 bond, using his $3.5 million NJ home as collateral. Attorney Stacey Richman, who represents all three men, said the defense would make other means for Gamal and Cherry’s bail. Prosecutors of the case are also seeking to obtain DNA evidence from the three defendants, to determine the rightful owner of the recovered handgun.
The king of pop is now without a throne or castle as the 2,900 acre Neverland Ranch and home to Michael Jackson is about to be auctioned off in public, with all his possessions
in it, on March 19 outside the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. According to his attorney Peter Lopez, Jacko needs a loan of around $24.5 million to refinance the ranch and keep the alleged kiddy-porn destination popping. Jacko may have been expecting to get his bread up with the recent release of the 25th anniversary edition
of "Thriller" but with only 211,000 copies sold in its first two weeks it looks like Mike will have to beat it pretty soon.
