(News) Tekashi 6ix9ine Sentenced to 24 Months in Prison and 5 Years of Supervised Release

Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday. Judge Paul Engelmayer compared Tekashi to Bruce Springsteen while praising him for cooperating with authorities. “Bruce Springsteen sang about murder,” he said. “Your choice to join Nine Trey was unnecessary.” Tekashi’s time behind bars will be followed by five years of supervised release and 300 hours of community service. A reporter tweeted, “Seems it will be the announced 24 months minus the 13 months already served. So, eleven months, into late 2020.”
