Remy Ma WANTS OUT !!!

Remy Ma has made her list and is checking it twice. Her Christmas
list consists of GTFO of jail. Her lawyers are now appealing her
conviction saying the judge in the case committed errors–leading
her to being found guilty of shooting her “friend” Makeda
Barnes and ending up in the slammer since March of this year:

At issue specifically, were the judge’s instructions
regarding the testimony of Remy’s victim, Makeda Smith-Barnes,
who was shot by the rapper outside a New York City nightclub during an
argument over $3000.
In closing arguments on March 24, Remy’s attorney Ivan Fisher
argued that Smith-Barnes’ testimony actually supported his
client’s explanation of the shooting as an accident.

However, the jury was instructed that if they believed the victim to be
“truthful and accurate,” under the law, her words were
enough to establish reasonable doubt.

Additionally, Fisher was barred by the court from arguing that the
shooting in fact occurred during a struggle for the .45 caliber
automatic handgun which, allegedly resulted in Smith-Barnes being shot
in the abdomen at close range.

These two instructions, the appeal states, amounted to a
“directed verdict,” which they say should be examined as
more than just accidental error.
