Wait, There’s More
Days prior, the rap entertainer had a request to leave jail denied. A judge refused to give Ralo the green light to get out from behind bars.
Despite the evidence against him, the rapper’s supporters say he gives back to the community, and is accused of selling a drug that’s legal in many other states. “Because he’s in Georgia, he’s going to prison for a year. Had he been in California, he would have been just another marijuana millionaire,” Veronica Waters said. The judge denied bond for the rapper, saying he violated probation on a prior arrest and was a convicted felon. Only one of the other defendants was granted bond. (WSB-TV)
