AK来看：

Lil' Kim goes to prison fighting Rapper Lil' Kim isn't going down quietly as she prepares for a 366-day stint in jail - she's slamming all her detractors on a new single. Just a day after being handed a prison sentence for lying to a grand jury about her involvement in a shooting incident in Manhattan, New York in 2001, the rap star has released a new single, firing back at her critics. In 'Shut up bitch', Kim, real name Kimberly Jones, addresses rumours about her and refute claims she's a penniless drug user, who has undergone plastic surgery.

Lil' Kim latest victim of lying for men By Yolanda Young Fri Jul 8, 7:30 AM ET Rapper Kimberly Jones (aka Lil' Kim) was sentenced this week to serve 366 days in prison for her perjury and conspiracy conviction. What the Grammy winner is really guilty of is falling on the sword in an attempt to save an irresponsible man. ADVERTISEMENT We've known about this epidemic since the now-defunct black news magazine, Emerge,introduced us to Kemba Smith, a Hampton University student sentenced to more than 24 years in prison for helping her boyfriend, Peter Hall, run a drug ring. President Clinton eventually granted her clemency. Lil' Kim, sadly, is merely the latest example. On Feb. 25, 2001, a surveillance camera captured Jones standing next to her manager, Damion Butler, outside of the Hot 97 radio station, WQHT, as he fired shots at a rival rap group, Capone-N-Noreaga, which resulted in one man's injury. Jones lied before a grand jury stating that she had not seen anyone fire a gun and that she did not see Butler or another associate, Suif Jackson. During her trial, she acknowledged in testimony that the two men were freeloading, frequently spending the night at her home and otherwise taking advantage of her. Unfortunately, Smith and Jones are not aberrations. Instead, their cases have become fairly commonplace among women. The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that the female prison population has increased from 68,468 in 1995 to 101,179 in 2003. An American Civil Liberties Union-sponsored paper, "Caught in the Net," attributes some of this increase to women who are convicted on factors related to their men using or selling drugs. The reason women sacrifice themselves is a complicated one that often involves domestic abuse. A study conducted by the Correctional Association of New York stated that three out of five prisoners had been abused by current or prior husbands or boyfriends, and that a majority of New York City's female inmates identified partner abuse as the primary force compelling them to commit their crimes. In fact, we see this street culture reinforced on Lilkimzone.com, a Web site where fans hailed Jones as a "QUEEN of RAP" for upholding the street code and not snitching. Jones' plight demonstrates how women, even some who are very successful, can become victims by giving men money, jobs, a place to stay and then allowing them to be disrespectful and perhaps violent. Indeed, U.S. District Judge Gerard Lynch told her at her sentencing Wednesday: "Going to jail because you lied to protect violent men with guns is not heroic. It's stupid and it's wrong." But Lil' Kim was in prison long before the judge brought down the gavel.

Rapper Lil' Kim sentenced to year in prison By Christine Kearney Wed Jul 6,10:05 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rapper Lil' Kim was sentenced on Wednesday to 12 months and a day in prison after admitting she was wrong to lie to a grand jury investigating two of her friends involved in a 2001 shooting outside a radio station. She was also fined $50,000. The sentence was lenient compared to the 33 months that prosecutors sought in the high-profile case, which shed light on some of the complex rivalries in the hip-hop world. Lil' Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, was convicted in March of conspiracy and perjury for lying to a grand jury. The three perjury counts and the conspiracy charge carried maximum sentences of five years each. Before her sentencing in federal district court in Manhattan, the Grammy Award-winning artist made a plea for leniency, admitting what she did was wrong. "I testified falsely to the grand jury and during the trial. At the time, I thought it was the right thing to do. Now I know it was wrong," she said in court. The case stems from a 2001 shootout with a rival hip-hop group involving two of her associates, Suif Jackson and Damion Butler. Both men have pleaded guilty to firing shots that injured one man. Prosecutors said Lil' Kim tried to protect the two by telling the grand jury during its 2003 probe that Butler, one of her former managers, was not there that day and that she did not know Jackson. She is due to report to jail on Sept. 19. In handing down the sentence, U.S. District Judge Gerard Lynch said he was concerned the public would compare Lil' Kim's sentence to that of media mogul Martha Stewart, who spent five months in prison for lying about a stock trade, and question whether Lil' Kim was treated fairly. The judge pointed out that the "younger African-American entertainer" lied twice about the shooting in what was "unquestionably a more serious case" than that of the "older, whiter" Stewart. But in leaning toward leniency, the judge said he took into consideration that Lil' Kim admitted her guilt. "You are sending that message that telling the truth has an important value," he said, noting such unsolved cases as rapper Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in 1996. "Going to jail to protect violent men with guns is not heroic." Lil' Kim apologized for putting a burden on her friends and family. "This is by far the toughest thing I have ever had to go through," she told the judge in a quivering voice. "I am a God-fearing, good person."

一年不算太长，按照目前在HipHop界的规律，她出来后要大红特红了。笑，我还是挺喜欢她的，酷女一个，当然被判刑后反应不是太酷。

格莱美得主莉儿金作伪证判刑366天(图) 2005年07月08日　15:37:07 　　美国著名说唱摇滚歌手莉儿金(Lil' Kim)最近因作伪证而被纽约重案法庭判处入狱1年零1天。　　2001年2月底，莉儿金在结束纽约地区一家电台的专访行程后，与另外一群说唱艺人发生争执，双方激烈冲击，最后演变成为枪击案件，造成一人受伤。这位美国歌星否认在冲突中看到街头枪击过程。　　29岁的说唱女歌手莉儿金本名为金柏莉-琼斯，曾凭和克里斯蒂娜-阿奎莱拉(Christina Aguilera)等女星合唱《红磨坊》主题曲《Lady Marmalade》并获得格莱美最佳流行歌曲合唱奖。　　莉儿金表示，她并没有注意到她的两个最好的朋友——经理人Damion Butler和Suif Gutta Jackson在电台外的枪击场景，经证实她在2003年夏天的3次出庭作证中共有29处伪证记录。　　对于被判入狱并处以28000英镑的罚款，莉儿金表示，“法官裁定说，案件审理期间我向大陪审团作了伪证。当时我认为我那么做是对的，但现在我知道错了。我一直为我所拥有的生活努力工作。我希望你们能够考虑我一生的工作，而不只是在大陪审团面前以及在证人席上的表现。” 　　法官最后表示，他已经考虑了将莉儿金这样一位年轻黑人歌星送进监狱较长时间的公众接受度。
