A state judge sternly lectured popular Baton Rouge teenage rapper Kentrell Gaulden about his criminal behavior, his music, fathering children and violence in the community before handing him a suspended 10-year prison term and putting him on three years of active supervised probation Tuesday for his role in a non-fatal November drive-by shooting on Kentucky Street.



Sternly lectured....that'll show him

quote:

The 17-year-old Gaulden, who engaged in a gripping but respectful back-and-forth exchange with District Judge Bonnie Jackson






quote:

Gaulden, who performs under the name NBA YoungBoy and more recently YoungBoy Never Broke Again, was booked in February on two counts of attempted first-degree murder and pleaded guilty in May to a single reduced charge of aggravated assault with a firearm.

Gaulden, according to a Baton Rouge police report, was one of two gunmen who hopped out of a car Nov. 2 and opened fire at several people in the 2000 block of Kentucky Street. Another passenger in the car with Gaulden was shot in the neck during the gunfire but survived.



quote:

Jackson acknowledged Gaulden’s right to musical expression but said flat out that his rap music isn't helping matters.

"Your genre has a lot to do with the mindset people have," she said. "Your genre has normalized violence."

Gaulden, standing next to his attorney, James Manasseh, interjected that he didn't kill anyone.

"But you could have," the judge shot back. "It wasn't for lack of trying. You weren't a good shot."



quote:

Manasseh told the judge that Gaulden is trying to make a difference by providing school supplies for children. He also bought a home for his mother.

"I genuinely find him to be a good-hearted, kind, sweet young man," Manasseh said.

When Gaulden told Jackson he is 17 and has three children, she judge replied, "Really? Why?" The judge said it is not a "badge of honor" to have a several kids with different women.

"It's only two women," Gaulden interjected again, saying he takes his family obligations seriously.

The only thing that is going to help this situation is police reform and body cameras

He will be back in jail for a serious crime before he's 20.

The judge giving him probation is part of the problem

The issue is more likely the DA allowing him to plead down the attempted murder/drive by shooting (37.1), since he wouldn't have been eligible for a suspended sentence/probation without serving at least a year.

The agg assault with a firearm allows him to walk.

Always nice to see folks on the hook for child support while their own fathers are still on the hook for their child support

This judge just ensured that more black lives are in danger yet it will still be whitey's fault when another young kang gets shot by this dude.
