Lil Wayne appeared in an Arizona court yesterday for a mandatory pretrial update related to a January 2008 bust on gun and drug charges. Weezy (born Dwayne Carter) was arrested in Yuma, Arizona, and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of dangerous drugs and weapons misconduct, the AP reports. Wayne’s tour bus was pulled over by cops who said they found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun after searching the vehicle. His attorney, James Tilson, has requested border patrol training records for the drug-sniffing dogs involved in the incident, arguing, “If the dog is not reliable, then that puts the entire probable cause for the stop into question.”

as a lawyer, i have to comment on what a dumb lawyer lil wayne has… is he going to admit the canine’s report card from drug-sniffing school into evidence as Exhibit A? “Well, your honor, Fido has a repeated history of confusing the smell of cocaine with dogshit.”

Yeah this sounds like a pretty weak argument to me. These stars pull some pretty wild strategies to avoid paying for their bigass crimes: Phil Spector, Chris Brown… And now this joker: “That dog might have been poorly trained, therefore when he smelled my cocaine, he might have thought it was something else. Though it was, in fact, cocaine, and Ecstasy. And guns.”

grasping for straws…this is a technique used very often though..but hopefully its not the lawyers only ”hole” in the case. what’s the worst that could happen anyway..WAYNES RICH BITCH!

What a dumbass. He goes on tv to do a national broadcast with Katie Couric professing his love of weed, etc. “I’m a gangsta”…gangsta is as gangsta does, they get busted!!!! And if I had an attorney that suggested that i go with a shitty defense like that, i think i would want my retainer fee back. Also, he needs to be arrested for making a rock album. Give me a break, you make shitty rap music, don’t even insult rock music. And the name “Weezy” was already taken by the lady on the Jeffersons.

Just give him his fine and probation, you know that the sad state that our judicial system is in, there is no way that he cannot buy his way out of this. Example: chris brown.
