YFN Lucci is all of the sudden within the clear for the felony homicide case he is been going through for almost 3 years — and, whereas he will probably be going to jail, his lawyer believes it will not be for lengthy.
On Tuesday morning, prosecutors dropped 12 of the 13 counts the rapper had been going through, together with felony homicide, for the dying of James Adams … who was killed throughout a shootout with a rival Atlanta gang again in December 2020.
Cops did not suspect Lucci of pulling the set off, however he was the driving force of one of many automobiles concerned within the shootout, and he finally surrendered to cops in January 2021.
Lucci, whose actual identify is Rayshawn Bennett, pleaded responsible to at least one rely of violating the road gang terrorism and prevention act … and should do time for that. As a part of the plea deal, he was hit with a 10-year sentence, plus 10 years probation.
He’s getting credit score for time served — Lucci’s been jailed awaiting his trial because the spring of 2021, when he violated his launch on bond by going to a strip membership.
Nevertheless, his lawyer Drew Findling believes his consumer will solely be locked up for just a few months. He tells TMZ, “As he has maintained for three years now, Mr. Bennett will NOT cooperate in any other case.

Findling’s math breaks down like this — Lucci bought 10 years, however he is eligible for parole after 40 months … and since he is been locked up for about 36 months (that is the time served), he is predicting Lucci’s launch in 4 months, so long as he retains his nostril clear.
