As previously reported, The
Game was hit with three felony charges; stemming from an incident that
happened in February of 2007 in which the rapper was charged with possession of
a firearm in a school zone, exhibiting a firearm on the grounds of a facility
for minors and making criminal threats.
After pleading not guilty in June, The Game appeared in court today (Jan. 9) where a trial date was set for
February 4th. If convicted the Compton rapper faces up to 5 years in
prison.
On top of the weapons case trial, The Game’s lawyer claims the LAPD
confiscated $44k during the investigation and have refused to release it.
