Jury clears Beanie Sigel
From Associated Press
Rapper Beanie Sigel was acquitted Monday on charges that he shot and nearly killed a man two years ago on a crowded Philadelphia street.
The 31-year-old rapper, whose attempted murder trial began only a few weeks after his release from federal prison on an unrelated charge, was cleared by a jury of shooting Terrance Speller repeatedly during a dispute outside a strip club in July 2003. A jury had deadlocked on the charges in April 2004.
