50 Cent Is Skeptical Of Los Angeles’ New Zero-Bail Policy

by

50 Cent has always been one of the most outspoken artists from hip-hop, whether it’s about the genre, TV, business, politics, and much more. Just a week ago, he even commented on rival Ja Rule’s concert antics, where he came out in a stretcher and was “revived.” However, his most recent take online concerned his disapproval of a reinstated bail policy in Los Angeles concerning misdemeanor charges (not more serious crimes). Moreover, these crimes specifically include burglary, shoplifting, drug use, vandalism, and misdemeanor battery. Under the new law, offenders of these crimes will not be arrested in their detainment and will instead go through a normal court process.

In addition, the city will free currently incarcerated individuals who they arrested on these charges and other similar offenses. Of course, this is a big step in cutting unjust prison time for low-level offenders, especially in trial. Still, 50 Cent believes that this will end up being a negative thing for the L.A. community. He reposted a clip of Fox News covering the development on his Instagram page. “LA is finished watch how bad it gets out there SMH,” the multi-hyphenate star captioned the post.

Regardless of his thoughts, this caused a lot of debate among not just residents, but the nation at large. That being said, commenters rushed into 50 Cent’s section to explain why the coverage misleads viewers, breaking down the truth. “This is not what is actually happening,” one commenter clarified. “Anyone arrested will be detained and go through the system as per usual. They will see a judge and a court date will be given.

“In the past, the judge set a cash bail. If you could not afford it you stay in Jail until your court date,” they continued. “This was biased towards people from higher income classes cause they could actually afford bail. Now no one will who is arrested for low level non violent crime be forced to pay cash bail. [They] remain jailed until their court date. Everyone who commits these offenses will be able to stay home until their court date. Just like people with money used to be able to.” For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, stick around on HNHH.

Julia Fox Posts Brother’s $450K Bail After He’s Arrested For Having Guns, Narcotics

by

Her outrageous antics steal attention, but Julia Fox is sharing the spotlight with her brother. We previously reported on Christopher and Samuel Fox being detained by authorities in New York. Samuel, Julia’s father, was quickly released; however, Christopher, the actress’s brother, was charged with “criminal possession of controlled substance, manufacture of a machine gun, manufacture of a rapid fire modified device, manufacture of a dangerous instrument, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of drug paraphilia.”

Christopher was reportedly held on a $450K bond, and today (March 14), it was revealed his sister paid for his release. Ira Judelson, a bail bondsman, spoke with The Post about his interaction with Julia. “Of course, Ms. Fox seemed upset,” he said. “It is her brother.” When Christopher exited the courthouse, he jumped into an awaiting vehicle with his father. They reportedly took off without giving any comments to reporters.

Christopher Fox & The Ghost Gun Raid

ABC News 7 initially reported that the NYPD’s Ghost Gun Team has been investigating the actress’s brother for some time. Neighbors called the authorities to report mysterious packages being delivered to Christopher’s apartment. During a raid, police learned that he was allegedly creating ghost guns. Those firearms can be 3D printed, and they’re especially dangerous because they can’t be traced. There aren’t any serial numbers or traceable markings—but the guns and parts weren’t all that police found.Narcotics were also reportedly located.

Police reportedly found “pills, a pill press, pressure cookers, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane, formaldehyde, and materials often used to make explosives.” Christopher Fox will return to court on May 4. Julia hasn’t spoken about her family’s controversy, but it was noted that in her bail receipt, she listed herself as an “actress/model.” However, she stated she was “retired.”

Julia Fox Has Been Candid About Her Past

On several occasions, Julia Fox has opened up about her past addictions. She’s struggled with substance abuse and even revealed she’d lost friends to overdoses. These days, Fox is sober living, at least to her liking. She doesn’t let jabs about her past drug use get to her, like those from Azealia Banks during their thumb-thugging internet war.

Takeoff Murder Suspect Patrick Clark Bond Paid By “Concerned Citizen”: Report

by

After multiple attempts to get out of jail, Patrick Clark has been released on bond. He is the chief suspect in the murder of Takeoff, and it was expected that Clark wouldn’t be able to make bail. Initially set at $2 million, the bond was later lowered to $1 million. Days ago, it was announced that Clark made bond and would find freedom once again, but questions were raised regarding who put up the bill.

A report by KTVU News also stated Clark’s attorney Letitia D. Quinones shared a statement regarding his release. “Neither Patrick nor his family posted the bond in this case,” she said.

“A concerned citizen and family friend who believes in Patrick’s innocence posted the bond on his behalf,” the lawyer continued. “Like any other defendant, Patrick is presumed to be innocent and has the right to bond. He also has an obligation to comply with all the terms the court has laid out.”

“He intends to comply fully and will appear for proceedings whenever the court requires him to do so. We believe Patrick is innocent and at the appropriate time, the evidence will reveal that to be the case.”

Meanwhile, some people questioned how this could occur when Clark’s team recently requested $5K from the court. They further claimed they needed the money to fund a private investigator for his defense.

Takeoff’s Alleged Murderer Vows To Move In With Parents, Requests Lower Bail

by

The weeks that have passed since Takeoff’s death haven’t made the loss any easier to bear. Thankfully December began on a high note as police finally arrested someone in connection with the case.

33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark is the alleged gunman behind the youngest Migo’s death. As he awaits trial, he’s been given a hefty $2 million bail fee. His lawyer, Carl Moore, simply doesn’t think his client can pay that much.

According to TMZ, the accused murderer filed a motion on Monday (December 12) in Texas. The documents reveal that he’s seeking to have his bond significantly taken down to just $100K.

Clark says he’ll be able to pull these funds together with the help of a professional bondsman. Additionally, he’s promising to live with his parents upon release, where he was apparently previously residing.

Moore has assured the court that his client will wear a GPS monitor at all times. He’ll also be responsible for following a curfew from a judge – if his motion earns approval, that is. To ensure he doesn’t attempt to flee the country (again), Clark is willing to surrender his passport.

Another clause in the potential deal states that he’ll follow any “no contact” order that comes his way with respect to different people.

It remains unclear what the odds of Clark making bail currently are. Before being taken into custody, reports say that he was attempting to get an emergency passport. At the same time, Takeoff’s murder investigation was unfolding and his family was in mourning.

Just last week, a judge gave the DJ $5,000. The money will go toward a private investigator. At this time, Patrick seems eager to prove that he was framed. Many of those closest to him were in shock when news of the charges came out, reports say.
