Remy Ma, who is barely 3 months into an 8 year sentence for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the abdomen over a missing $3,000.00, has hired high powered attorney William “Billy” Murphy Jr. to appeal her felonious assault, weapons possession, and attempted coercion convictions.Murphy gained national recognition in 1998, after winning an acquittal of fight promoter Don King on federal charges of defrauding Lloyd’s of London. Murphy, a senior partner in the Murphy Firm based in Baltimore, has represented rappers DMX, Missy Elliott, Red Man, and Mary J. Blige.
Remy says, “With the addition of Mr. Murphy, Ravenell and Levitt, I now believe I have assembled a team that will have the might and expertise to tell my side of the story. I am confident that after hearing everything my side will prevail. Mr. Murphy comes highly recommended and I am pleased that he has agreed to lead my defense team.”
