Unless Tekashi69 snitches or cuts a deal, he is looking at a lengthy jail sentence. He was in court today where he pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
Complex has details on the case and how his IG page might be his downfall.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office offered to start the trial in April or May, but the various defense lawyers said they needed more time to prepare, and wanted to wait until the fall. Judge Engelmayer initially offered to split the difference and start in July, but the defense insisted. So jury selection is now set to begin right after Labor Day, on Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
When laying out what types of evidence they had, the prosecutors let it be known that they had social media search warrants for 6ix9ine and Walter’s Instagram accounts, as well as Walter’s Snapchat account. In addition, they had iCloud accounts for most of the defendants “and others,” plus email accounts and phones from 6ix9ine and other defendants. 6ix9ine’s Instagram account in particular, the government said, was “so voluminous” that they hadn’t had a chance to fully go through it yet.
Bail was not discussed at this hearing, so for now Tekashi69 will stay locked up in what is called the Snitch Ward of the Federal Prison.
