EXCLUSIVE
Bobby Shmurda‘s lawyer just pulled a legal rabbit out of the hat — the rapper has a new opportunity to reduce his prison time.
Shmurda was in court Tuesday with attorney Alex Spiro for allegedly getting caught with a shank behind bars. We’re told prosecutors are offering Bobby the chance to plead guilty to a reduced charge of “attempted promoting prison contraband.” If he does he could get 1 to 4 years.
Bobby’s already serving 7 years for his murder conspiracy case, but if he takes the plea deal for the shank … the sentence will run concurrently.
Sources close to Bobby say his friends, family and lawyers are all pushing him to take the deal. They’re concerned because he’s been a loose cannon in court lately.
One of Bobby’s counterparts was sentenced to 98 years back in May … so the possibility of him getting out in anything less than 10 is some damn good deal. Shmurda can think over his decision on the plea until a January 7 hearing.
We reached out to Spiro … but he had no comment.
