By Nolan Strong

Rapper T.I. appeared in the Federal Courthouse in Atlanta for the first time today at 3:00 PM on weapons charges and has been ordered held without bail.

 

T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., had his hands cuffed and his legs chained as he entered the packed courtroom.

 

His lawyers unsuccessfully sought bail for the rapper, which was denied by U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman.

 

ATF agents arrested the rapper in an Atlanta shopping center after he allegedly attempted to illegally purchase machine guns through a bodyguard who was working for the government.

 

A subsequent raid of his house turned up numerous assault rifles and loaded handguns.

 

T.I. will appear in court on Friday (October 19), where Judge Baverman will determine whether there was probable cause for the rapper's arrest and to decide if he will be eligible for bail before his trial.

Damn, this is fucked up 4 real!  I hope everything works out for TI and his people.  I hate seein another black male under the wrath of the police.  I'm sure he's mad as hell for puttin himself in this situation.  Hopefully things work out for him, but comin from another felon, I know it's gonna be an uphill battle considerin dude got priors.

Only person that I know that used entrapment to beat a case was the white dude John Dellorian.  They had dude tradin money for a suitcase with 15 Kilos.  That's the cat that made that whip in the Back To The Future flicks.   But like the old sayin goes, "When it's all WHITE, It's ALRIGHT!"

Stay Up TI and the Harris Family

Denied Bail? not a good sign.

Maybe cause he is a felon? Maybe Cause he is a rapper?

Probably cause he did something stupid!

ARSUN FiST said:

i don't know which is worst, T.I. getting locked up or the fact he hired a bodyguard that had the nerve to ask him what a silencer is for...what kind of bodyguard isn't knowledgeable about firearms??? he sounded like an informant asking questions like that...

T.I. needs to fire whoever is responsible for hiring his "bodyguards"...but that doesn't excuse him for being insanely stupid for having unregistered guns, especially with a prior jail record...

WTF do these "millionaire" brothers be thinking about?
October 15, 2007 5:09 PM
 

jojodove77 said:

NO BAIL??? That's crazy!!!
Usually the judge will grant bail if :
a) You are not a flight risk (which Tip isn't considering he's a celebrity and will be recognized worldwide)
b) You are an asset to your community.
C) You were not convicted of a prior VIOLENT felony...or are accused of an EXTREMELY VIOLENT crime (of Brian Nichols porportions)

In the real world a judge will DENY bail if:
a) You are a black male (Tip qualifies here)
b) You are a black male earning considerable income (check)
c) You are a black male earning considerable income from Hip Hop (DOUBLE CHECK)

I guess the 2nd set of criteria is what holds more weight in the courtroom!!!  I'm praying for my man T.I. *smh*

Alan J. Baverman was sworn in as a United States Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of Georgia on February 1, 2001.

Magistrate Judge Baverman was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 19, 1956. He graduated from University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, in May 1978, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. He was selected as a member in Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society and Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society, and won the Edelweiss Award for German Studies for a paper he wrote on National Socialism. While in college, he clerked for criminal defense lawyers in Towson, Maryland.

Magistrate Judge Baverman received his Juris Doctorate degree from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia, in June 1981. While in law school, he was a summer clerk for Hon. Charles E. Moylan, Judge of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. He won the AmJur Award for Bankruptcy, and interned for the Federal Defender Program, Inc., where he worked on the Bert Lance trial, wrote the petition for a writ of certiorari and brief in Steagald v. United States, 451 U.S. 204 (1981), and tried cases under the Northern District of Georgia’s Third-Year Practice Act.

After graduation from law school, Magistrate Judge Baverman was a law clerk for United States District Judge Harold L. Murphy in Rome, Georgia, from 1981 through 1983. From 1983 until 1986, he practiced criminal defense, civil litigation and entertainment law in association with Mark J. Kadish in Atlanta. From 1986 until 1989, Magistrate Judge Baverman was an associate in the Atlanta law firm of Chilivis & Grindler, where he represented clients in civil and criminal matters.

In February 1989, Magistrate Judge Baverman started his own practice, with emphasis on representing people charged with crime, with a geographic focus on the Northern District of Georgia and the local courts in Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton Counties, and appeals in the Eleventh Circuit and the Georgia appellate courts. Approximately 30% of the practice consisted of appointed cases in federal court and Cobb County, and case specific appointments in Fulton County. He also appeared on a frequent basis in other federal courts in the southeast (E.D. Tennessee, W.D. North Carolina, N.D. Alabama and M.D. Georgia), and in a range of local county courts, such as Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, Fannin, Forsyth, Gilmer, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry and Spalding counties.

He has been a member of the State Bar of Georgia, the Atlanta Bar Association, and the ABA since 1981. Until his appointment, he was a member of the National Assn. of Criminal Defense Lawyers; Georgia Assn. of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the American and Georgia Trial Lawyers associations. He also served on the Northern District of Georgia Bar Council (Member 1999; Chair 2000). Magistrate Judge Baverman regularly speaks at Continuing Legal Education and other legal seminars, is an adjunct professor at Emory University and Georgia State University schools of law, and judges NITA and trial advocacy competitions.

Magistrate Judge Baverman is married to Elida Baverman, and has three daughters.

Troy O’Neal Redd was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Augusta, Georgia by U.S. District Judge Dudley H. Bowen on April 13, 2006. Redd was sentenced to 96 months incarceration, a fine of $3,600.00, six years supervised release and a $400.00 special assessment. Redd was indicted and charged with three counts of possession of firearms by a convicted felon and one count of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. Between August 3, 2003 and August 8, 2003 Redd was found in possession of 18 firearms and 249 rounds of ammunition. In a December 2005 jury trial in U.S. District Court, Redd was found guilty on all counts. This case was investigated by the Augusta Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; the Department of Natural Resources; and the Burke CountySheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Patricia Green Johnson prosecuted the case for the government. ##### 18-06

This is a recent example of someone who has been convicted of a similar crime but I think T.I.'s would have more counts.

Streetweyez Sayles said:

It is not the fact that he caught the charges that is the problem. Even brothers like Malcolm X lived the street life, did prison time, and changed his life around. Going to jail and being strapped is not the issue here. The issue here is the reasoning behind the multi-million dollar gangster image that the record companies have turned into a marketable commodity that must consistently characterize itself based on a caricature of urban decadence. The streets are not pretty and it's not cute. How many of us have lost our best friends to the streets? Funerals with mothers crying and all that crazy shit.


When I lived that life it was because I was struggling to survive, when I managed to get my finances together, got a regular old job, went to college, started my own business there was no way I would risk it all just to prove to some punk ass schmucks that I was "real". I am real enough to know I don't have shit to prove to people that don't know me or what I have been through and that's all that really matters. Look at this his money can't even buy him bail right now and that is why we need to think. He is sitting in prison with millions in his bank account that he won't be able to use doing FED time. It's utterly ridiculous.


What I am saying is even with all the changes I made in my life I still found myself challenged because even if you work hard to get out there are challenges. Favors are costly in the business. Don't ever do favors for free. You have to cut everybody from that life off for the most part when you start making the transition. Fuck they feelings, cut them niggaz off. If cats were dependent on your connection guess what, they don't want you to get out. Yes they will set you up, but even a set up has flaws most of the time. We can see that this was not a flawless sting just off what they released to the press. TIP just ignored all the signs, they were there and he didn't see them. It happens all the time. He is in for the fight of his life and with his record he might have to settle for a plea deal that won't be in his favor, it will just be the lesser of two evils.

People REALLY need to think about the fact that this dude was about to bring MACHINE GUNS with silencers into the hood.

Now what if that isht got out on the streets?  Obviously he couldn't keep an eye on them -- he couldn't even trust his bodyguard to keep his deals on the downlow.  How could he know who else might have flipped it on him and stole his guns?

I'm all for supporting a brother that needs support -- love the sinner, hate the sin, like they say -- but its time we put this all in perspective.

I can't really get behind a dude I know was about to bring that kind of madness into the neighborhood -- especially when he had no real reason to do so.

I just think there comes a point where we gotta draw the line...and stop waiting for the feds and the cops to do it for us.

He don't need bail. He is an embarrasment to the whole culture. That's why we will always have Hip Hop police. I hope he gets no bail; he deserves no sympathy and he needs to lose plain and simple. There are too many broke niggas out there who would love to have the oppurtunity to change their lives with the money T.I has and he wanna blow it. Im not being harsh im being realistic. He just got out of jail and he knew the rules. It's either he's dumb or his mama didn't raise him correctly, I wanna think he's dumb.

Is T.I. innocent or guilty? Who knows? That's what the courts are for...

But the man did deserve bail...

So before you put up a dumbass comment about how he is stupid, or how if you were making that much money you wouldn't have fucked it up, and yada fuckin yada, just know that if you were ACCUSED of a crime where no party was injured or you werent conspiring to injure a party you'd want bail...

T.I. will make bail friday, but this kind of charge from the feds carries heavy weight, it will be a 750k to 1 million dollar bond, serious money, feds tax heavy. also, in GA, this would only be a misdemeanor, but because he is a felon, it would violate, and recall old convictions.

Grumpy said:

Let's see:

TI already had some firearms, so that takes care of the 'he could get robbed like so and so' argument. Machine guns w/silencers ain't necessary for that. Having firearms didn't stop Phil from getting killed.

You entrust a newly hired bodyguard to handle a transaction of this magnitude? Not someone you've known forever, not ya cousin or your uncle, etc.

Hmmm...something seems out of place. Machine guns are overkill against a threat, even a credible one.

Could it be that dude just WANTED to have 'em just to say he had 'em? I mean, it is a rush to shoot off some rounds, especially some high capacity auto fire rounds.

But is the price worth the cost?

T.I. will be someone's bitch for the next maybe 10-15 years....he should request to get a tattoo across his ass cheeks....TAKEN....and if your lawyers cant get you bail....i suggest you get OJ SImpsons lawyers or Robert Blake's lawyers ....or even Snoop Dogg's lawyer from 1993 murder charge...Good Luck in jail you big bad gangster T.I......hahahaha....you rappers need to honestly spend your money on education and learn about common sense....you rappers are pathetic ....if you aint street then stay away from the streets after becoming successful in life...

I bet if TI was a little Asian nigga with SKS's and M-16's and some Voit shoes on and he was depressed people would be like they should have got him some help but cause it's TI he gettin dumb nigga comments and all kinds of shit.  IF OJ tiptoe in your crib and murder another person with some tight ass gloves and a tropicana bottle shit is alright he a cult hero.  OJ planning bank robberies with sub machine guns and black duffle bags and suits and he'll probably get off before TI, that's what fucked up is.

Something else just occurred to me:

Why did dude ask a licensed firearms dealer to commit a crime?

You don't go to a legit business and ask them to assist you in committing a felony. They had to call ATF based off that contact alone. I remember when I researched getting a FFL that shit like that is in the paperwork to contact them or risk losing your FFL.

Something don't smell right...

You sound like an envious ass ho!  Any man (or phuck boi) that condones or finds humor in prison rape, sounds suspect to me!

It's obvious T.I. put himself in a bad situation...but all the hating serves what purpose?  That man had his tour bus shot up and lost a close friend last year...so don't question a man's judgement unless you've walked in his shoes!

If you're gonna use the Judge's address and information, I hope summa yall niggas take a spelling and phonics class.

There's evidence of a whole lot of borderline illiteracy here. If you take sides in defense of T.I., it wont hurt to do so with some intelligence.



On that note, Props to this cat for some real sensible talk:

"Yall kats are funny.  A rapper can kill a bus load of black children on their way to Sunday School, and I swear yall will try to defend that shit as being some kind of conspiracy or blame the white man.  I refuse to defend ignorance.  I have a 12 year old son, and I try everyday to make him understand that dope selling and carrrying guns is NOT cool.  He's just like most kids and sees the rappers, listens to the music and wants to be like them, and wants the material things that he sees them with.  It's stories like this one and the TI drama that prove my point.  Yall young kats think you know everything, but you dont.  Yall fuckin it up fa real..... get a job and get some knowledge, stop trying to be so damn HARD!!!"

This is an all bad situation for the boy TIP.

Real talk....he shouldn't have been bringin' silencers and machine guns into the hood.  I mean, come on....you are a RAPPER!  I know folks be needing to "protect" themselves and all, regardless of stature...but this is where Keepin' it Real went all the way wrong.  Ya'll remember when Jay rapped, "I don't keep the heater on me anymore...I got bodyguards for that"...and people thought Jay had "softened up" or something.  

Now who looks stupid???

TIP...Good luck homey.  Not hatin' on him at all, but I can't condone silencers and machine guns in the hood.  Not a good look, especially if you can't keep an eye on who has it.  There are kids out there killin' kids, and it's got to stop...

Good luck with the FEDS tho.  He should at least get that Bail...

CHECK THIS OUT! I got some possible news.
According to defsounds, TIP will remain in jail until his hearing this Friday, when the judge will determine whether or not he will qualify for bail before his trial. The article also says TIP is facing UP TO 10 years for his charges.

LMAO, Literally!!!! I feel you, who are these dudes riding with.

I keep seeing remarks like "stop blaming the white man" every man must be accountable for their actions but if you believe that blacks in America are not oppressed and disadvantaged then you are beyond naive. Goes to show the need for concious rap.
