DUBLIN, Ga. (AP) — He shot a man twice and felt so good about it, police said, a rapper wrote a song describing the shooting and calling out the victim by name. A judge sentenced 25-year-old Rico Todriquez Wright Monday to spend the next 20 years in prison after his victim mentioned the hip hop confession to police.

 

Chad Blue, 28, told police he had known Wright before the September 2006 shooting, but that the men weren't friendly. He testified companions egged Wright on as he chased and shot his victim in the thigh and groin.

 

Later, Blue told police he recognized Wright's voice on a CD, rapping "Chad Blue knows how I shoot."

 

Wright was sentenced to 20 years for two counts of aggravated assault. He will spend another 20 years on probation.

Of course not. We've all been exposed to Cub fans.

"When keeping it real goes wrong"

The story seems to imply that the song alone was enough to get a conviction. I don't see how that's possible. Clealry, the whole rap thing isns't paying off. A good attorney would have probably gotten the guy off.
