Lil’ Wayne Takes Plea, Faces 8 Month Bid

Lil’ Wayne is expected to accept an 8-month bid in jail over his alleged involvement with a loaded .40-caliber pistol gun found on his tour bus in 2007 while in New York. It is reported that DNA evidence on the firearms blew open the case and that if Weezy, real name Dwayne Carter, didn’t take the plea he faced a much longer sentencing.

Wayne is rumored to be willing to accept the deal to avoid a long term in jail over the gun. The same source said the term will begin in February of 2010 under the terms of the deal. “If he doesn’t plead, he goes to jail for a long time,” a source said.
