Lil Wayne finally sentenced

Lil Wayne has finally been sentenced to serve his time at the Riker’s Island prison…

According to AHH, after two separate sentencing delays, New Orleans rap star Lil Wayne was officially sentenced to prison today (March 8th) in Manhattan Criminal Court. Lil Wayne was sentenced to the prison term after the rapper admitted to possessing a loaded .40 caliber handgun that was found on his tour bus after a performance in New York in July of 2007. The rapper was taken away in handcuffs to begin serving his time on Riker’s Island.

Lil Wayne was originally supposed to be sentenced to prison on February 9th but the date was postponed to March 2nd, because the rapper needed root canals, in addition to having his platinum “grillz” removed.

The March 2nd date was rescheduled to today (March 8th), after a fire broke out in Manhattan Criminal Court’s basement which sent eight people to the hospital. Lil Wayne could be out in as little as eight months. He is expected to remain in protective custody during his time behind bars. “Law is mind without reason. ……………..I’ll return,”  Lil Wayne told fans on his Twitter page this morning.
