Lil Wayne Hires Top FBI Scientist To Counter Gun Charge

Hip-Hop star Lil Wayne has hired a former FBI geneticist in his attempt to avoid being prosecuted in New York on a gun charge.

The rapper has enlisted Bruce Budowle to challenge DNA results linking Lil Wayne to a .40 Caliber handgun found on his tour bus following a performance with Ja Rule at The Beacon Theater in New York in July of 2007.

According to The New York Post, Budowle will argue that Manhattan prosecutors used an unreliable testing method in their attempt to link Lil Wayne’s DNA to the gun.

Budowle testified on behalf of prosecutors in the murder trial of Scott Peterson, who was convicted of killing his wife Laci Peterson.

Defense lawyers for Lil Wayne have dismissed the arresting officer’s allegation that she smelled marijuana emanating from the bus, resulting in the search which uncovered the gun.

Lil Wayne’s lawyers also maintain is a legal firearm registered to his manager, Cortez Bryant.

Lil Wayne has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.

If convicted, he faces up to three and half years in prison under recently passed New York gun laws.

Shouts to AllHipHop and let us know in the comments what you think about this.

Bonus: It looks like Drake has took over from Weezy to be the face of “Strapped Condoms” :o

    How can they charge Wayne, because he’s a rapper? if his manager legally owns the gun then how can you charge Wayne for possession of a gun just because there happened to be a gun on the same bus as him, what about the 10 other people who were in the bus at the same time? makes no sense.

    As simple as this : Lil Wayne CANNOT Go To Jail
    I dont give a fuck if none of us really know him , just pray for the guy . If he’s just another artist to you or you just digged “lollipop” or some song , don’t fake prayin. But if his persona and his music touched you then pray for him like you would pray for a grandparent or an uncle.
