Rapper Tiny Doo facing long prison sentence over lyrics | Fox 59
California is up to its usual shenanigans, this time going after the First Amendment.
They have a little known statute that makes it illegal to benefit from gang activity. They found a rapper who sings about gang life, so they are trying to put him away for 25 to life despite the fact that he has no criminal history or arrest record. He's already spent 8 months in jail awaiting trial.
I have no idea how prosecutors think they'll be able to make this case stick. This seems like it would be blatantly unconstitutional.
