TI Sentenced to 12 Months In Prison And 1500 Hours Of Community Service!!!

TI SENTENCED TO 12 MONTHS IN PRISON AND 1500 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!

March 27, 2008. ATLANTA - (AP) Rapper T.I. was expected to plead guilty Thursday to federal weapons charges and will face prison time, according to two people familiar with his case.

The 27-year-old singer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was expected to be sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service talking to youth groups around the country, followed by about 12 months in prison, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plea deal had not been finalized yet Thursday morning.

Harris is one of Atlantic Records' most successful artists. His sixth album, "T.I. vs. T.I.P.," was released July 3, debuting at No. 1. He appeared in the 2007 film "American Gangster," which starred Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

His prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior, the two people familiar with the negotiations said. His talks to youth groups are supposed to be about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs.

The U.S. Attorney in Atlanta announced a change-of-plea hearing was scheduled Thursday afternoon at the federal courthouse. Prosecution officials were expected to speak to the media after the hearing.

U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. must approve the deal.

Harris was arrested Oct. 13, just blocks away and hours before he was to headline the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.

He was charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He faced a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.

Harris was allegedly trying to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers. He initially pleaded not guilty, and has been under house arrest since he was released on $3 million bond Oct. 26.

Harris, co-CEO of Grand Hustle Records, grew up in Atlanta. His first taste of success came with his 2003 album, "Trap Muzik." In 2004, warrants were issued for his arrest on probation violations for a drug conviction, and he was sentenced to three years behind bars.

In the federal system there is no early release or parole. 12 months is way better than he could've gotten! ----- His prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior You must didn't read the article or you're fully unaware of what the word REDUCED MEANS? Because it clearly states it in the the article that his time could be increased or reduced.Reduced means he can get out earlier that his 12 month sentence. No disrespect but d@mn!

	I don't believe this, it just doesn't make sense. Being a felon with a weapon is a MANDATORY year sentence. Certain Machine guns carry mandatory sentences. A silencer? Forget about it. If this is true either he snitched or Juelsellshomes is right..... WOW

	With all the shyt they found on him and in his house, including the pound of weed in the car he was driving, I'm sure he considers himself very lucky to be offered a 12-month deal. But working in the legal field, let me just tell you that plea deals do not come for free. The government does not give you something for nothing. Somebody got ratted out, and T.I. was the rat. Bet he does way less time than Remy's about to do.

	@ Prophecy: I just read your comment, and you proved my point. Convicted felons in possession of guns do serious time for that shyt. How is it that T.I. is only doing a year? I think we all know the answer. As far as money buying freedom, not from the Feds it doesn't. Martha Stewart has way more money than T.I. and committed a far lesser crime. She still did her time.

Rarestgem
	I hope that he learns his lesson. He is a convicted felon, and should have known better. In comparison to a max of 10 years and $250,000/count, 1 year and 1500 CS isn't bad. The sentence could be reduced. Money can only get you so far. At least, he will attempt to deter other youth.

	@Prophecy sniching or not, he should be getting more than one year. he is a convicted felon caught with three machine guns, and two sound suppresors. you are totally right on that tho. this story is bs. he is going to serve at least 5 years, unless found not guilty. the sound supressors usually carry more time than a pistol for a first time offender.

	I agree- he made the right decision coping a plea. He will probably do less than half. He's got too many kids to be locked up. I hope he really thinks about how that hood life adversely affects not only him, but his family. Meanwhile, while he was on house arrest he wasn't just waiting for the storm- he got to work to make sure that his family would be okay. Anyway- i live in the A and i am listening to the radio and the have people live in the court room and we should know shortly whats what I will post what they say!

	he has been charged with 3 counts of criminal information- - he is going home today- he will not be sentenced until NEXT March 27th, 2009- he will be on house arrest until his sentencing- while he is on house arrest he will have to perform 1000 hours of community service and once he goes to prison and gets out- he will have an additional 500 hours of community service to do. He will have to serve 3 years on probation after he is released. When he does go to prison- he will serve 1 year. And also he WILL get time served for the house arrest that he has already done, which means that he will get off of house arrest before his sentencing and will be able to tour before he is sent to prison. Crazy- but that cam str8 from the court house. i typed it as i heard it.

The extra day makes him eligible for a 15% time reduction. He won't be sentenced till a year from now(probably cause the Feds know he can't keep his nose clean that long). As far as keeping his street cred, no convicted felon pleads guilty to possessing machine guns and silencers without SNITCHING! He'd better be glad they ain't releasing his lil stupid, snitch azz here in Baltimore.
	--------------- Assume nothing; question everything.

outspokenone
	@ Prophecy, you're absolutely correct. Being in the legal field, being a convicted felon + being in the presence of someone with even a legal firearm = a mandatory 1 year prison sentence, not to mention the amount of weapontry that were recovered + silencer's = multibailed, all the way around. Actually, T.I. came out smelling like roses. Being in a Federal Institute, he'll come home after 10 months, and be transfered to a halfway house, where he would stay for the remainder of the two month's, while going out speaking with youth's about guns, drug's and prison.

IF THIS WAS THE AVERAGE PERSON HE/SHE WOULD GET MORE TIME WITH ALLT HE SHYT HE WAS TRYIN TO BUY. IT SEEMS WHEN A CELEBS GETS IN TROUBLE THEY ONLY GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST AND SHELL OUT A LITTLE CASH...AND DONT GET ME WRONG I MEAN I LOVE MY BLACK PEOPLE DOING WELL AND DAMN SHOW DONT LIKE SEEIN MY FOLKS IN PRISON BUT I FEEL IF U DO THE CRIME U GOTTA PAY THE TIME. MY FOLKS BE LIKE THAT NI99A BE HAVIN TO WATCH HIS BACK AND YADA YADA YADA.....YEAH THATS TRUE BUT BUDDY HAD WHAT ...ABOUT 6 PISTOLS IN HIS HOME ...NO NEED FOR HIM TO GO AND BUY THE THANGS HE WAS TRYIN TO GET..LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO GO TO WAR OR SOME SHYT...HE GOT WAT THE AVEARGE NI99A THAT GOT BEEF AINT GOT ...SECURITY, A HIGH PRICED SECURITY SYSTEM AT THE HOUSE..ETC..SO WAT THE HELL WAS HE TH INKING...MY LIL 22 YR OLD BROTHER IS IN WRIGHT STREET RIGHT NOW FOR 6 MTHS 9,000 fine FOR PUNCHING A MARTA BUS DRIVER AFTER THE DRIVER SPIT ON HIM .....6 DAMN MONTHS .... (FREE JAROE) LOL...HELL HE GOT 3 MTHS LEFT....and got 2 kids, a job, and goin to school....just made a wrong move...but he still got them 6mths.....so i think whateva time the average joe would get these celebs should get at least half the time a regular person would get for a crime...only to show they are not above the law. the only reason i say do half the time is because a lot of them are still out there doing good for the folks....they out there using some of there money for good...but like i said these folks gotta know just cuz you got money dont mean u gonna beat the law.....because if you look at the things they the seem like they feel they are above the law.....thats not good...cuz us po folks gotta serve the time and pay them fines we cant afford...so should they..lol.....im endin this but still....i gotta say lastly...folks pick and choose which celebs they think should be above the law.....if someone is a fan of an entertainer its rare that you will see them sayin .....yes he needs to be in jail.....NOT ALL..LET ME JUST CLEAR THAT BEFORE SOMONE START WRITING WRECKLESS ON THIS THANG.....ok gotta go on break..

	You do the crime, you do the time. WTH was he thinking? Quick money for street guns? Too many children? What?


zokazula
	The sad thing about this is even if T.I. isn't snitching the hood will think and always say he is. His grand hustles label gets raided for bootlegging. Then he gets caught with all them machine guns silencers and hundred round drums and clips and gets a year. The truth of the matter is if he would have got big time that would have only made his image more powerful as a victim of the goverments assult on the hood. But by giving him a year that makes his image look weaker and he will become weaker. Because all the gangsters in the hood will be coming for his butt, no more gun talk no more thug gang behind him. He has no choice but to become a pastor because the thugs we never respect him the kids might.

	That [EXPLETIVE] sang like a canary! Or cried. There is NO way a convicted felon with ALL those guns could get 12 months. NO WAY. I know people doing ten,hell,twenty years,five for EACH gun,because they are felons.That's the law,five years for possesion of a gun by a felon.AUTOMATIC.But he gets a year? Fake ass dopeboy,never from Bankhead told and told some more.

	I must say, a lot of rappers do think they are above the law. They should be treated as the next man when it comes down to the law. If you have the money, you can walk, without suffering the consequences. That is the world we live in.

	i am happy that my brother paid for his small amount of jail time. i really wander if those guns were going to be used to kill more black men, cause he was buying silencers.TI got out of a lot of federal time by doing what: lying, crying, paying or snitching, pick one.
	--------------- The truth is in me, so why should I lie?

Darkbrow
	For those charges, that sentence doesn't seem appropriate. Brother Prophecy is correct that some of those charges carry Mandatory Time....i'm thinking T.I. swung for that deal...

	you had your whole life and career infront of you and for one foolish moment you step back into your old ways and you [EXPLETIVE] up TI. i know alot of people are backing you and trying to look pass what you did but TI you disappointed alot of people and alot of kids who looked up to you man. take this as a lesson, you can have the whole infront of you and for one stupid,foolish "n...ga" moment you can through it to f&*k all away.....


OldOtisSupreme
	T.I. ain't snitch. He just got the best lawyers and brought a boat load of cash to the table. At the end of the day, as much as "the man" would like to see another black man in prison, the money solves all that because at that point it's not about black or white, it's about green. Now on the other hand, look at remy ma. She's not really a high profile celeb and doesn't really have deep pockets so her situation is very different.sure she shot somebody, but she has no priors i don't think (midemeanors only) and she's facing 25 yers. Also, look at Beanie Sigel's rap sheet. The guy can't stay out of trouble. when he was up for attempted murder Dame had his back on everything including finances[we all know Dame got that paper]. He beat the case. Conclusion: If you have money you can do what the hell you want. But if you're a regular citizen you'd better watch your every move.

	Sound like to me somebody (T.I.) snitched! I've never heard of someone getting picked up on F.E.D charges for that amount of weapons and doing so little time. You can't buy the F.E.D.S! So, what's really good T.I.?


LuxeLife
	Well I wanna know who his lawyer is? Cause Johnny ass is dead! Before this arrest T.I. was already a convicted criminal. A convicted con aint getting 12mo's and 1500hrs com/serv. There is no way in hell he gonna get that amount of time. Good lawyer or not! Like I said the nicca is a snitch! You'll see. Somebody about to go down!

mightyc42
	Well, i have to say that I was wrong. I cannot believe that he is getting off with a slap on the wrist. All of you who are saying good for him would not be saying that is he wasnt caught. If your child or brother or cousin was shot or killed by one of those weapons, you'd be saying that he should be put under the jail.


mightyc42
	He should be in prison for at the very least Five years. machine guns and silencers are used to kill people, not to protect your home. If his home was under attack, why hace sound suppressors? you want your neighbors to hear if their is a shootout at your home so that the police will be called. no, those guns were for doin dirt. his ass should be locked up so that he would really learn his lesson, and then who the [EXPLETIVE] is he to talk to at risk youths about guns and gang violence. that is whst half of his songs are about. we all know that he dont care about that. he doin it to get less time. I like T.I. as one of the best Rappers in the south but if he plead guilty, he need to do some real time.


mightyc42
	The Game punched a dude and pointed a gun at him on a school basketball court and only served 8 days. we black people were outraged about Paris Hilton's BS 23 day stay in jail, saying that it was racist and that if it was a black women she'd have had more time. but not TI and the game for getting an even bigger pass, he getting the same kind of time as lil kim and all she did was lie in court. this [EXPLETIVE] was trying to go to war. sorry yall I just needed to vent

Lelani29
	First of all you people that Don't know the system ANY FELON who gets caught with a gun or even gun paraphenalia gets 5 YEARS off top !! NO questions asked. The ONLY reason why he didn't is NOT BECAUSE he PAID HIS LAWYERS >>> IT'S because he entered into a plea deal and SNITCHED on others to get his sentenced reduced for that year !!! See he will be out for a year before he goes to prison >> TO SNITCH << PERIOD ! Money has nothing to do with anything FEDS dont give a damn about MONEY >>> If the FEDS got you THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET OUT OF A F'D UP SITUATION IS TO SNITCH !! PERIOD ! Just you watch and see when the FEDS have gotten all they need from T.I. they WILL LET YOU FOLKS KNOW THE DEAL....THINK ABOUT IT IF IT WERE BECAUSE OF HIS MONEY WHY DID MICHAEL VICK NOT GET HIS SENTENCED REDUCED WHY IS STATE WAITING TO PROSECUATE. Come on people you know Vick HAD more money than T.I. >>>>THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY PEOPLE<<<< Other than a hat rack is all I'm saying....

	@lelani29 Speak the truth! There is NO way a convicted felon can escape the face five law,NO way. Like I said,I got people I grew up with doing time for this. They ALL got five or better.Federal law isn't flexible,he snitched,cried,whatever fake gangstas do.


Azjhuan
	This is some straight BS!! They wanna bust my boy for trying to purchase some guns...that he sent someone else to purchase. And then raid his house and find a few weapons. Yet you have the Italian mafia...and everybody KNOWS who they are. They can practically walk around with a damn gun hanging on their door and they will never go down for weapons charges. These racist ba$tards just needed a reason to raid his house and find something so they could make an example out of another rapper and send him to jail!
