Cassidy Trial Over – Guilty of Manslaughter
Ok, that had to be the quickest murder trial in history. Apparently your boy avoided a murder conviction but got hit with involuntary manslaughter and assault charges. He was sentenced to 11 1/2 to 23 months in prison.
From AHH:
The rapper could possibly be out of jail in a few months because of time already served in prison. The rapper has been incarcerated since June.
At the non-jury trial, Common Pleas Judge Jane Cutler Greenspan said that rapper was negligent in providing guns to assailants that eventually killed Desmond Hawkins, a 22-year-old Philadelphia man.
"You could be a leader in the community," Greenspan said according to the Associated Press. "All those guns – that’s why Desmond is gone now, because of all those guns."
In court, the rapper expressed remorse for the crime. "It’s a tragic situation for me too. I didn’t set up for this to happen. Desmond Hawkins was my friend … one of my closest friends,” he told the judge.

damn thats real shitty. but at least he’s already almost out.
January 24th, 2006 at 7:46 pm
11 to 23 MONTHS????? for a manslaughter charge? wow.
more power to him. i’m not a fan, but hopefully he will be able to move on with his life.

i dont really know the true specifics of this case to give fair comments.. I do think its an idiotic move by Cassidy if he was involved though. Your on your way to being rich! Leave the street sh*t to street dudes.

You got to keep it real son…like me, Rob and Elg did back in the YO.
January 24th, 2006 at 10:03 pm
I guess he’ll go platinum now cuz he’s real (Sarcasm added). Form the Hotel to the big house to the half-way house with 500,000 street cred points for beating a murder case!
Good any where that accepts WIC and EBT.

Toma. Since I’ve promised to come off as less bitter whilst blogging from here on out, to keep things balanced and fair, there will be an general increase in mean-spirtedness with touch of added high-sididdy-osity on my part. So…

January 25th, 2006 at 12:23 am
Uh Young Boii Fresh sweetheart you don’t kill people for talking behind yourback baby. He could have gotten life in jail for someone talking behind his back. I pray you are just flexing for the web and don’t really believe that ish.

Any money that faggot makes should go to the family of the dude that died.
11 1/2 months for a human life?!? I suppose that is all a Black person is worth to the ‘Just-Us’ system. I don’t care who produces CASSIDY now. I won’t co-sign self-destruction.
It’s unfortunate that the vehicle that so many people can use to make a living is being driven by the folks that only wish to make a killing.
January 25th, 2006 at 8:54 am
HE’S LUCKY HE DOESN’T LIVE IN FLORIDA. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY THAT 10-20-LIFE AND NEVER SEE THE STREET AGAIN. I AIN’T MAD AT YOU CASSIDY.
January 25th, 2006 at 9:15 am
Being a rapper is the only career that looks as criminal records as a plus.
Wow, when you think about it, it doesn’t sound so good.
January 25th, 2006 at 9:41 am
MONEY TALKS YA’LL KNOW THE REST. WHAT THE JUSTIC SYSTEM IS SAYING IS—YOU GOT DOUGH WE LET YOU GO.TRUE STORY.
January 25th, 2006 at 10:48 am
play role in somebody’s death all u get is a few months? thats crazy
January 25th, 2006 at 11:22 am
CASSIDY LOOKS LIKE THAT NIGGA MYSTIKAL.
January 25th, 2006 at 1:51 pm
Damn i was preyin’ for a not guilt.
January 25th, 2006 at 2:41 pm
MAN, THAT NIGGA DESERVED EVERYTHING HE GOT AND THEN SOME! I CAN’T STAND TO SEE THESE LOSER ASS NIGGAS GETTING A SLAP ON THE HAND FOR SERIOUS CRIMES, COME BACK OUT AND RECORD A RAP ABOUT THE SHIT. WHEN WILL THE BLACK COMMUNITY LEARN TO STOP SUPPORTING “GAWBAGE”! LOOK AT THE BLACK YOUTH OF TODAY AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT A NEGATIVE PICTURE IT PAINTS FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS. FUCK CASSIDY AND EVERY OTHER RAPPER IN JAIL! I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE COWARDS COULD BE SOME YOUNG MANS ROLE MODEL OR SOME YOUNG WOMANS DREAM MATE.
January 25th, 2006 at 3:20 pm
I have no sympathy for that fool.
January 25th, 2006 at 3:57 pm
I thought yall liked gangstas
January 25th, 2006 at 4:56 pm
I was expecting to read he going away for life…WOW….I don’t know how ghetto Cassidy is in real life but what the hell was he thinking…C’mon, once you starting making a little paper you can afford to keep yourself outta trouble…Dudes need to grow up..
How’s the old saying go?…” do the crime you gotta do the time”…I guess not in this case…
January 25th, 2006 at 6:03 pm
there are people every day hoping for the chance you got….to hear their own voice on the radio or in the club and you can’t straighten up and do right. I HATE DUMB PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 26th, 2006 at 5:19 pm
IM FEELIN THAT NIGGA UDONTKNOWME. I B BLK MAN SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FAGGOT ASS NIGGA. EVERY ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS PROVES HOW MUCH OF A PUSSY NIGGA YOU ARE.
January 26th, 2006 at 5:24 pm
man what is wrong with this world. he deserved everyhting he got he should have gotten more. he is just as guilty as the person who pulled the trigger. he needs to rott in jail. i just don’t get the world today people think it okay for a famous person to go out here and do whatever the hell they want. well it is no okay. somebody is dead because of this man and yall sitting up here bitchng cause he got the little time he did. what if he gave the dude the gun to kill one of your loves ones. i bet yall would want his ass to get the death penalty. but since yall did not know the dude it was okay. hell naw it ain’t okay. boy come judgement day yall go burn in hell. cause wrong is wrong no matter who it is. just like that fucking pervert r kelly still runing around he is a phucking molester and he still phucking running the streets. yall need to wake up. ugh
January 26th, 2006 at 7:46 pm

January 27th, 2006 at 3:44 am
We all know what goes around comes around. Just look at what happened to Beanie Siegel’s step pops (RIP). Cassidy, you’d better watch your back. Niggas might not retaliate against you, but against your fam or anyone you chill wit.
January 27th, 2006 at 7:39 am
“I KNOW THAT NIGGA CASSIDY. THAT NIGGA BARRY FROM MY HOOD SON. THAT NIGGA GOT MAD RESPECT IN PHILLY EVEN BEFORE THAT SHIT SON. ALL THE JONS WAS ON HIM AND SHIT SON. THEM JONS KNOW THAT NIGGA MAD CRAZY SON. I SEEN THAT NIGGA BLAZE THIS NIGGA ONE NIGHT FOR NOTHING YO.” sike.
January 27th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
I DON’T KNOW WHY MUTHA FUCKAS IS ACTING LIKE THIS AIN’T REAL LIFE. THIS KINDA SHIT HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN THE HOOD. IT’S SAD TO SEE ANOTHER BRUTHA DEAD, BUT YOU GOT TO GET DOWN HOW YOU LIVE. IF YOU IN THE STREETS YOU KNOW THE RISK INVOLVED. AND FOR THAT MATTER NOBODY REALLY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED EXCEPT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE. . . PERIOD.
KEEP IN MIND JUST CAUSE A STREET NIGGA GET A RECORD DEAL DON’T MEAN HE AIN’T A STREET NIGGA. HE JUST GOT SOME CASH NOW. INSTEAD OF BORROWING YA BOY’S .22 THAT 5 NIGGAS SHARE YOU CAN BUY YOUR OWN. IF U FROM THE HOOD AND RAN THE STREETS A RECORD DEAL AIN’T GOING TO MAKE YOU FROM BEVERLY HILLS OR SOME SHIT. IT’S CALLED STREET MENTALITY. THAT IS WHY THERE IS SO MUCH DRAMA WHEN A LOT OF RAPPERS GET TOGETHER AT CLUBS AND AWARD SHOWS. A REAL PERSON IS WHO THEY ARE REGARDLESS OF THE FAME.
HE’S GOING TO BLOW NOT DIRECTLY BECAUSE HE’S A CRIMINAL, BUT BECAUSE HE GOT AN EVEN MORE INTERESTING STORY TO TELL. ISN’T THAT WHAT A RAPPER IS. . .A STORYTELLER? ASK YOURSELF WHY DO VIOLENT MOVIES AND VIDEO GAME MAKE SO MUCH MONEY? THAT’S WHY HE IS GOING TO DO THE SAME WHEN HE GETS OUT.
ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE HIM.
January 27th, 2006 at 7:54 pm

Cassidy is a street nigga. it is what it is. he raps about it and talks about it. all you haters need to get off his dick. obviously the nigga who got popped wasnt an angel, he was affiliated with street niggas. None of you fake ass niggas making these comments are from the streets and if you are your a being a hypocrat. He makes it obvious in his raps that the streets was his life before rap so it is his right to do what ever he wants regardless of what the public thinks. Im happy he only got a year, he definately deserved it but he is paying his time. his next album is gonna be fire. and who ever udontknowme is ” shut the fuck up” cuz udontknowshit
April 24th, 2006 at 8:31 am
after reading all your comments bout cass an’ stuff, So what’s the difference between a fake ass and somebody who’s real from the streets? and is it just 4 the peeps of usa, cos here in the uk, got 2many livin of this crap, everybody in urban area’s specfically in london claims that they live in some sort of ghetto, when infact it ain’t as bad, i mean there’s much more opportunity here anyway for the young un’s. they just choose 2mess up what they get/have and are the likely 1′s to moan when they get older. although i understand that there are geniune peeps who got issues and are struggling, usaually they ain’t the ones going on about it! what r you’re views on that?????

Cassidy is a CLOWN!!
He is a ok freestyle rapper wtih 2 hits under his belt and he didn’t even make those 2 hot. R.Kelly mad “Hotel” Hot & Jay-Z’s sample made “I’m a Hustla”! So please spare me… Anyway he’s gonna get what’s coming to him, and it aint no platinum album homee!
Did you hear about the car accident?? Yeah, Karma is a mutha** you get what you deserve. You on two strikes right now CLOWN, and unless you got 9 lives you better wise up!
Nobody respects him in the music industry except for Snoop’s Lil Son..that’s a damn shame!
