TMZ reports that Ackquille Pollard aka Bobby Shmurda pled guilty to conspiracy charges on Friday, September 9, 2016. The rapper was sentenced to seven years in prison but he has already served two. His right hand man, Chad Marshall aka Rowdy Rebel took the same deal after debating it with his lawyer in the courtroom.
According to The Fader, Shmurda’s lawyer, Alex Spiro has revealed that the rapper could be released from jail in three and a half years with good time credit. The same is true for the other members of GS9 who accepted the plea deal including Marshall and Nicholas McCoy.
Chad Marshall is the individual on the left in the image below:

Alex Crandon aka A-Rod is a member of the rapper’s GS9 gang who was also recently sentenced. He got 53 ⅓ years to life in prison for multiple murders and attempted murders from 2013-2014. Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel definitely had A-Rod’s sentence in mind when they accepted their plea deals.

We hope the rapper learns from his mistakes. Although he may not have been directly involved in the murders he should have surrounded himself with positive people.
