ODB Will Be Sentenced In July
« on: June 18, 2001, 10:30:16 PM »
Ol' Dirty Bastard will be sentenced in July instead of June as originally planned. His sentencing for cocaine possession scheduled for Wednesday was postponed until July 17 to allow the New York State Department of Probation to revise its pre-sentence report. The rapper faced two to four years in state prison on drug charges when he appeared before Judge Joseph A. Grasso. The judge granted defense attorney Peter Frankel's motion to postpone the hearing until a more complete pre-sentencing report is resubmitted, despite prosecutor Ken Holder's objections. A comprehensive evaluation of the defendant's criminal, social, physical and mental history is required if a sentence involves state jail time. Frankel said ODB's report did not have sufficient information about the rapper's mental health. Holder was ready to recommend the minimum sentence for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree because of a plea bargain arranged with Frankel. On April 19, ODB admitted to possession of 20 vials of crack cocaine found when police searched his car on July 31, 1999
