Orthadox Jew Moses Michael Leviy, b/k/a Shyne Po could be a free man by October 6, 2009 after serving an 8 year sentence for the famed incident at Club New York that allowed Puff to walk away a free man and Shyne to face 10 years behind bars.
"After serving eight-and-a-half years of a 10 year sentence for his role in the infamous Club New York shooting on December 27, 1999, Shyne finally knows the day he will once again become a free man: October 6, 2009. That release date has already been confirmed by the parole board, but a hearing tomorrow will outline the parameters of ‘Po’s parole, details that could determine whether or not the former Bad Boy Records artist will be able to resume his recording career free of stifling restrictions," reports
HipHopDXOscar Michelen, Shyne's attorney, explains Shyne's perdicement in detail to HipHopDX:
“
What happened was when they sentenced him [in March of 2001 to ten years] they didn’t sentence him to any parole – post release supervision, which was mandatory. So the Correction Department has asked the court to re-sentence him – under the law they can do that. And so the judge will decide whether to give him the maximum parole, which is five years, or the minimum parole, which is two-and-a-half years. Shyne will automatically have to do at least a year-and-a-half, which is how much of [the] 10 year [sentence remains]… [Shyne] still owes the balance to the 10. But, [the district attorney] also [has] been looking to add to that [time] as well…”
When the courts sentenced Shyne to 10 years in prison, they failed to sentence him to parole as well. A new law has been passed that allows the Correction Department to request the judge to re-sentence him to parole.
Now, according to HipHopDX, the parole decision will determine Shyne’s ability to leave the state which then impacts whether he is able to make a living as an artist (touring, recording, etc)….but,
is there still a freeze on Shyne’s bank accounts because of the unresolved civil suits related to the Club New York incident? And did those suits ever get resolved on the Diddy side?
