Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty To Federal Gun Charge
Lil Wayne is hoping for leniency in his federal weapons case after pleading guilty to a possession charge.
Last month, the rapper was slapped with a count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon – 11 years after Wayne served time for a felony gun charge in New York.
The gold-plated handgun and six rounds of ammunition was found during a search of his private plane in December last year at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport in Florida, where his aircraft had made a stop en route to California.
The case was heard by a Miami judge on Friday, when Wayne entered a guilty plea.
