After being convicted on two counts of firearm possession as a felon in March, Project Pat was sentenced to serve a four year prison term on Tuesday (June 11). The conviction stems from an event in January 2001, in which he was pulled over for speeding in an SUV. When Pat was pulled over, police found two revolvers under his seat.
Pat was tried once on these charges in January but a Memphis, Tennessee federal court jury deadlocked and the second trial was moved to Jackson, Tennessee. 36 Mafia group member DJ Paul alleges racism. "He was tried by an all white jury, you tell me," Paul told AllHipHop.com. Pat was facing up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 dollar fine when he is sentenced June 6. Juicy J, Project Pat's brother, said that that prosecutor was jealous of his brothers success.
Pat was also assigned three years of supervised release following his confinement, a $75,000 fine, and $200 in court fees.
Project Pat's Layin The Smackdown is due in stores in November. In other Hypnotize Minds related news, DJ Paul's Underground Vol.16 is in stores now, Koopsta Knicca's Da K Project is in stores this month,
and Juicy J's Chronicles Of The Juice Man will hit stores in July.
Damn, this is becoming a once a month fad in the rap industry. Instead of living it up enjoying the money that he would be copping off royalties, he's gone be in lock down...
