NOPE! Tekashi 6ix9ine Will Not Be Home For Christmas, Sentenced To Two Years Behind Bars & Five Years Probation
Tekashi 6ix9ine isn’t getting out of jail anytime soon. A judge just sentenced him to two years in prison and five years of probation. Deets inside…
Tekashi 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) thought he would be released from prison before Christmas, but NOPE! The “FEFE” rapper will not be home for the holidays, despite reports claiming he would be released soon.
You'll recall, he was arrested and indicted on six federal charges. He was taken into federal custody after being charged with racketeering and firearms charges back in December 2018. ATF agents reportedly picked up the rapper in NYC along with his recently fired manager, Treway Shottie, and two other men.
OK - #6ix9ine sentencing about to begin in @SDNYLIVE Courtroom 318 before Judge Engelmayer. As Inner City Press reported last night, there are victim impact letters, & 1 speaker today https://t.co/zKzsVASZTd Inner City Press will live tweet the sentencing - thread pic.twitter.com/rU58i4sv96

  According to Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee, Judge Paul Engelmayer sentenced the NYC rapper to two years in prison and five years probation. He already served 13 months of the sentence, which means he’ll be out by late 2020. Once he’s out, he’ll be supervised for five years, he’ll have to complete 300 hours of community service and he’ll have to pay a $35,000 fine.
  Judge Engelmayer: Mr Hernandez, please rise. It is the judgment of the court you are to serve a term of 24 months in prison, with five years of supervised release.

    Judge Engelmayer: I impose 300 hours of community service when you get out, and a fine of $35,000. Mr Hernandez, the worst part is over. There is a great deal to be admired about you. You're learned a hard lesson here. I wish you very very well. We are adjourned.

    Hernandez has already been taken out of the courtroom by U.S. Marshals. For those asking, seems it will be the announced 24 months minus the 13 months already served: so, eleven months, into late 2020. Heading out to #Periscope; story soon https://t.co/zKzsVASZTd

  According to transcripts provided by Inner City Press, Judge Engelmayer told Tekashi:
"Mr. Hernandez, I've given it a lot of close thought, including your cooperation. The following are my thoughts, & this is going to take a little while. You are in custody for 13 months. I agree you deserve a great deal of credit for cooperation. However, I cannot agree with your counsel that time served it appropriate. In my judgment, your conduct is too violent and selfish to make 13 months reasonable. You will not be going free today." He added, "For the better part of a year, you were part of a violent gang. So that there is no misunderstanding, here is a specific account of those act. First came Trippy Redd... You decided to shoot at a member of Trippy Redd's entourage. Jordan fired into the sprinter van, in the Times Square area. It is a matter of sheer luck that an innocent person or people was not wounded or killed."
According to TMZ, Tekashi received 1 point for his 2018 conviction for using a minor in a sexual performance (in a music video), and 2 more points for his involvement in the Nine Trey Bloods while on probation. Those 3 points put him in category 2 and the worst category is a 6.
The site reports:
Tekashi was originally facing a minimum of 47 years in prison before agreeing to assist prosecutors by ratting out his former gang members. As we reported, he pled guilty to 9 counts when he entered his plea back on January 23.
He copped to multiple counts of racketeering, conspiracy, firearms offenses and narcotics trafficking. According to federal docs ... Tekashi was involved with dealing heroin, fentanyl, ecstasy, amphetamines and weed.
The feds said the conspiracy included multiple acts of murder, robbery and extortion. Prosecutors also referred to a video TMZ first posted of Tekashi offering a $30k bounty for someone to shoot Chief Keef's cousin.
Here's more of what the judge told Tekahi in court:

    Judge Engelmayer: You used Nine Trey as a potent means of getting even with your rivals. You claim you "foolishly commingled with members of the gang" - but it's more than that. The attacks would not have happened without you.
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) December 18, 2019
    Judge Engelmayer: Shotti said he carried an assault rifle to protect you from the beefs you started. He was recorded by Jorge Rivera saying this. You didn't shoot, but you are responsible. And so, I reject the portrait of you as a passive participant.

    Judge Engelmayer: You told the US Probation Department you were brainwashed by the gang. That might be partially true. But the relationship was symbiotic. They got something out of it. But so did you [Engelmayer slows the words down: So. Did. You.]
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) December 18, 2019
    Judge Engelmayer: Your first crime, use of a child in a sexual performance, you said the same thing, that older acquaintances were having sexual intercourse with the underaged girl. That excuse may have worked once, but it doesn't work twice
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) December 18, 2019
    Judge Engelmayer: But for your cooperation, you would get a very long sentence. When you began to cooperate in November 2018, some incidents the government didn't know about. But it knew about a lot. The April 3 robbery. The two April 18 shooting.
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) December 18, 2019
    Judge Engelmayer: I have no doubt that the process of cooperation has for you been cathartic. For all these reasons you deserve a very substantial reduction, & you will receive you. I followed some of the commentary during the trial, I took much of it in good fun
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) December 18, 2019
  Judge Engelmayer: I do not expect you to be tempted to commit violence again. If you do, I am the judge in your case. And your economic self interest. You have struck a lucrative deal. The situation is unusual. You are very fortunate. You will land on your feet.
— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) December 18, 2019
  The judge also addressed Tekahi's cooperation and how it helped with his sentence:
  Judge Engelmayer: Mr Hernandez, if you expected to be released today, you will be disappointed. But you were wise to cooperate. Your cooperation will result in years more liberty.
