Lawyers for Beanie
Sigel have submitted a proposal seeking to enter the rapper into a drug and psychological
counseling center.
The request came
after U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick rejected a $1 million dollar bail
package that would have freed Sigel until his trial for attempted murder.
Surrick gave the
attorney’s until tomorrow to submit an adequate formal treatment proposal to
keep the rapper from behind bars.
Sigel has been
in Federal custody for a month. He faces Federal weapon and drug charges stemming
from an April incident, when he allegedly tossed a loaded handgun during a foot
chase with police.
He was also charged
with attempted murder in July, after he allegedly shot a man in the stomach
and foot outside of a Philadelphia bar.
Sigel denies the
charges, saying that he was present before the incident took place.
