Casanova Denied Early Prison Release

Casanova 2x

Casanova faces a setback in pursuing freedom as a federal court ruling rejects his plea for compassionate release. Despite expressing remorse and distancing himself from the gang, the Brooklyn rapper’s quest for an early prison release remains unsuccessful, prolonging his sentence.

Canaova’s Early Release Denied

Casanova, known for his involvement with the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods, has hit another roadblock in his quest for freedom.

A federal court ruling on Dec. 1 has denied the Brooklyn rapper’s motion for a compassionate release, keeping him behind bars. Despite expressing remorse and distancing himself from the gang, the rapper’s early prison release has been denied, prolonging his sentence.

Casanova, whose real name is Caswell Senior, is currently serving time for his admission of leading the New York street gang. 

Casanova Pens A Letter

The charges against the rapper include participating in a shooting incident in Florida on July 5, 2020, a robbery on August 5, 2018, and conspiring to traffic over 100 kilograms of marijuana. 

Despite his claim of reform and success in his music career without gang associations, the “So Brooklyn” rapper’s plea for a reduced sentence or early release has been denied. Casanova had previously written a heartfelt letter to the judge requesting his release in June 2023.  

In the letter, Casanova expressed his desire to distance himself from gang affiliations and emphasized that he had learned valuable lessons through his music career. However, his pleas fell on deaf ears as the court decided to uphold his 15-year prison sentence. In the letter, he stated: 

“I am telling you and anyone that will listen that I wanted out before I was arrested and I am out. I learned through my music career that people will listen and that I don’t need to associate myself with a gang to succeed. I don’t need to associate with a gang even if I don’t succeed.” 

Casanova has been incarcerated since December 2020.

Casanova has been in jail since December 2020 following his guilty plea to federal racketeering, Blood gang activity, and drug charges.

Casanova had hoped for leniency and wrote a letter to the judge prior to sentencing, renouncing his gang ties and expressing his intention to be an advocate for steering youth away from similar paths. Despite his sentencing, Casanova remains committed to making the most of his situation and working towards making a positive impact, even behind bars.
