 Rapping Gunman Confessed On Song
An American rapper who shot a man twice has been jailed for 20 years after admitting to the crime in a song.
Rico Todriquez Wright, 25, was sent to prison after his victim mentioned the hip hop confession to police.
Chad Blue, 28, said he had known Wright before the September 2006 shooting, but that the men were not friendly.
He testified that companions egged Wright on as he chased and shot his victim in the thigh and groin.
"I heard one of the men tell Rico, 'Go ahead and shoot him'," the victim told jurors.
"When he raised his gun, I knew I had to run. But I knew if I ran a straight line, I was dead.
"So I started weaving, running between houses, trying to avoid the bullets."
Wright, from Dublin, Georgia, was sentenced to 20 years for two counts of aggravated assault.
He will spend another 20 years on probation. |
