2 YEARS IN EXCHANGE FOR A LIFE????? WHAT JUSTICE?????
The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer who shot Oscar Grant to death was sentenced to two years in state prison today (November 5th).
Los Angeles Judge Robert Perry sentenced Johannes Mehserle to two years for involuntary manslaughter, the shortest term allowed by law. He also threw out a gun charge against Mehserle today, due to lack of evidence.
During a trial in July, Mehserle claimed he accidentally killed Grant in January 1st, 2009, when accidentally shot the 22-year-old in the back at Fruitvale Station, by using his service revolver, instead of his taser.
Grant's murder was taped by several witnesses, who used the camera's on their cellphones to capture the horrific shooting, which occurred while Grant was handcuffed and face down on the train station's platform.
During the sentencing hearing today, Grant's family members left the court house in anger and tears, including Sophina Mesa, the mother of Grant's 6-year-old daughter.
According to reports, the U.S. Justice Department, the U.S. Attorney's
"We livin in a country where u kill a cop u get 4EVER," Oakland rapper Mistah Fab tweeted moments after the verdict. "A Cop kill u he get 2yrs wit probation This is Justice huh?… It's unfortunate that N this day n age we still subdued to the injustices that our people fought and died for as if they deaths are in vain."
With time served, Mehserle will spend one year, two months and thirteen days behind bars for killing Oscar Grant.
"Today we had a gross miscarriage of justice.. Judge Robert Perry threw out the gun enhancement clause.. (10yrs) and then gave Johannes Mehserle 2yrs with credit for 146 days with time served," Davey D. wrote on his popular blog, DaveyD.com.
"Football star Plaxico Burris did more time shooting himself than Mehserle," Davey D. said. "Michael Vick did more time than Mehserle…shame on Mehserle. The judge and any police officer who sat back and allowed this to take place without speaking out…today was not a good day..It makes you wonder if there even is a such thing as JUSTICE.. Maybe it doesn’t exist. maybe we been hoodwinked and bamboozled."

Lil Wayne Released from Prison after 8 Months on Rikers Island
After serving eight months in New York's Rikers Island prison facility, Lil Wayne is finally a free man.
The rapper was released from Rikers Island early Thursday morning (November 4) after eight months of a one-year prison term for a gun possession charge, despite a guardtelling MTV the same morning that he had to wait another day due to "miscalculated" time.
At 8:35 a.m., a spokesperson from the prison confirmed at Weezy had been discharged.
Back in March, Lil Wayne turned himself into New York authorities to begin his sentence after striking a plea deal, in which he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, for an arrest back in July 2007 in Manhattan where police found a gun on his tour bus.
Weezy and his crew were leaving his first headlining performance in New York at the time, when his tour bus was pulled over. After the NYPD allegedly smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside, a search of the bus turned up a .40-caliber handgun and drugs.
Young Money president, Mack Maine, told MTV that during the rapper's first few days of freedom, he plans to hang out with his family.
"His mom's been calling during this interview. She just flew in and, basically, he's gonna wanna chill with his family, his kids, too," Maine said Wednesday (November 3).
Before Weezy kicks off a homecoming celebration in Miami on Sunday (November), though, Maine said he'll have to deal with his drug case in Arizona. He'll be flying out to Arizona on Friday (November 5) to sign papers in that case and appear in court.
While incarcerated in New York, Weezy reached a plea deal in a January 2008 arrest for drugs in Arizona, which will keep him out of jail in exchange for a guilty plea. Instead, he is sentenced to three years of probation.
Then on the weekend, Wayne will head to Miami to began his celebration with a party on Sunday. It follows Drake's Light Dreams and Nightmares Tour stop Saturday (November 6) in Las Vegas, a show at which both Maine and Drizzy have hinted Wayne may make a surprise appearance.
