Bobby Shmurda Denied Bail Again
Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda has been in jail since late last year following his arrest in December on drugs and weapons charges — to which he pled not guilty — and his label’s refusal to pay his $2 million bail. Today, Page Six reports that he’s just lost another bid for bail. Back in June, Shmurda’s trial had been set for 10/5, but during a hearing today, a judge set 2/22 as the new trial date, despite objections over the delay from Shmurda’s lawyer. According to special narcotics prosecutor Nigel Farinha, Shmurda has already had at least four bail applications denied, and the case against him has only gotten stronger.
