It seems that good fortune may be shining on T.I., who is currently awaiting trial in a federal weapons case for allegedly attempting to purchase guns and silencers from an undercover agent.
On Monday (Nov 19), the rapper's team of attorneys filed motions to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle, as well as statements he made when he was arrested on Oct. 13, according to the AP.
T.I's attorneys claim that the officers had no warrant, consent or probable cause to search his vehicle; in light of this, the defense wants statements that the rapper made to be thrown out of the case because they may have been obtained improperly.
No response from the judge has been made, though an email from a federal prosecution spokesman stated that he would address it in court.
If convicted, T.I. could serve up to 10 years in prison, as well as face a fee of $250,000 on each weapons charge.
Currently, T.I. is on house arrest until the trial begins.
