Max B Speaks on Conviction and Appeal

Wednesday, June 10, 2009 4:25 PM | 68 comments
By Ismael AbduSalaam

Harlem rapper and now convicted murderer Max B has released an official statement regarding his guilty verdict.

 

Yesterday (June 9) a jury found Max, real name Charly Wingate, guilty on 9 of 11 counts of felony murder and conspiracy charges in the death of David Taylor.

 

The 29-year old was killed execution style during botched robbery that cooperating witness Gina Conway said was orchestrated by Wingate.

 

With an official sentencing looming next month, Max expressed thankfulness for the support from friends and fans during the trial, and his desire to move forward with an immediate appeal.

 

"Thank you to all my fans for the continuous love and support during my trial,” Max explained to AllHipHop.com in a prepared statement. “With the advice of my attorney, family and friends I've decided to appeal my conviction, with full belief that I will be found innocent of all charges. This has been a long journey but, I have full faith that there will be a positive outcome and I will be cleared of all erroneous allegations.”

 

Despite his ex-girlfriend’s testimony, Gina Conway will still serve 18 years in prison for her role in the murder.

 

Max B and his step-brother co-defendant Kelvin Leerdam will stand before a judge on July 30, where both men face a maximum life sentence.

Om I am with you. I aint giving up my body to the state. Especially on that bs charge. Max run like hell after smashing the hoes and go through Canada or Mexico. You can buy your way out of this Matrix my G. I bet yall dont even know the racial makeup of the jury? And you saying good for him like you heard him plotting out murder!!WTF? Do you know how many brothers rotting on Death Row that and doing long stretches for crimes they didn't commit? They didn't have that cake to defend themselves so a public pretender turned their asses over to the Beast?? F*ck wrong with yall.? Yeah, Max did some ignorant things and embraced the street life but you know what? At the end of the day, brothers look out and want the best for each other. I don't care how hard you E-thugs, street runners, Bloods, Crips, Gds act, you know deep down you want to see someone who looks like you make it..

And that's the realest talk. RIP David Taylor and condolences to his peops and Max, I wish you the best in your appeals but honestly, from a bro to a bro..I'd dip on that *set*.. Gingerbread man style.. You cannot catch Bin Laden but you can find me? Yeah right. Bin Laden was created by the CIA. So it's on and poppin.. try and use your GPS systems to locate me my dude. I'm Ghost. Life is one big video game. Game anyone?

Who knows what went down. Max wasn't even at the the scene. All they got is the testimony of some chick he use to tag to connect him. No physical evidence, come on man? He just might win on appeal due to lack of evidence.

Hmm...the Jury came to their conclusion with No physical evidence, just a loud mouth bitch tryna get her sentence reduced?  Fuck that.

Since there is no evidence to support this 'Guilty' verdict nobody is any position to say he should be locked up.  That includes all you niggaz on this website.  Quick to judge a nigga but don't know shit about the situation.  You shall be judged by the same measure you use.

Somethin' told me he would get locked up just because of the bitch though, that's his fault for even fuckin' with the broad.

Good luck with the Appeal Max.

@KILLUMINATI 187 THATS REAL TALK..NOBODY KNOWS EXCEPT MAX B IF HE IS GUILTY OR NOT SO WE ALL NEED TO FALLBACK ON JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS...HOWEVER I THINK HE KIND OF BROUGHT THE VERDICT ON HIMSELF BY HIS ANTICS SIMILAR TO SCOTT PETERSON WHEN HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF KILLING HIS WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE TYING HIM TO THE CRIME...BUT BOTH OF THEM HAD FLAWS IN THEIR CHARACTER WHICH LED TO THE JURY CONVICTING THEM ON THE CHARGES...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb7d8pHtKpA

IM CURIOUS AS TO HOW YOU GO FROM BEING SUCH A NICE GUY OBSESSED WITH OTHER MEN TO BEING SUCH A VIOLENT INTERNET THUG?

YOU WERE TRYING TO IMPRESS MEN BY TELLING THEM YOU HAVE A JOB AND NOW YOU ARE THIS INTERNET THUG USING SUCH FOUL LANGUAGE.

YOU CANT BE A VIOLENT INTERNET THUG AND A MAN OBSESSED WITH IMPRESSING OTHER MEN.

PICK A ROLE AND STICK TO IT.

No honor in a thief I don't care what's amongst them. Somebody  who probably was a father's and whatever won't go home cause people wanted to take what he worked for.  Whether the person killed got money illegally or what.  They still worked for it.  Dudes a thief I have no sympathy for thieves.  He was stealing for no reason.  Dude got a career. He could've toured the US did some shows 12 shows at $5,000.  $60,000.  Come on man. And that's not even a full days work.  Come on man.  Dude a thief I don't have any respect. And not just thief but a greedy thief.  He got his and want what's yours. Rot dude Rot.

we all judge people based on the feedback they give us , thats how you negotiate life
and the white jurors are going to see Charly Wingate aka Max B AS THIS ARROGANT COCKY RAPPER , There going to hear of or witness his badboy image he portrays , i mean dude is all over Youtube  the Net the radio talking that hotshit INNOCENT OR GUILTY THIS IS NOT GOING WORK IN HIS FAVOUR . THIS IS JUST THE KIND OF NIGGA THEY WANT TO LOCK UP,

yep the girl SANG her heart out to the po po to save herself but thats what a LARGE percentage of niggas and bitches do when there under pressure all the "CODES OF THE STREET" "KEEP IT REAL" "NO SNITCHIN" cliches will be enough to stop that . its up to the individual to decide who he or she is rolling with you got to try to dictate the circumstances of your life not let them dictate to you
BOTTOMLINE INNOCENT OR GUILTY MAX HAS TO SHOULDER A LOT OF THE BLAME HIMSELF , and while hes stting in a cell he will know that better than anyone else

THE LEAST OF MAX'S PROBLEMS IS NIGGAS BEING JUDGEMENTAL ABOUT HIS PREDICAMENT ON A WEBSITE believe me

Pharoah1983 said:

The whole situationis wack and corny. Why did this situation even happen in the first place. People don't understand that Max was already a felon , so this type of charge doesn't  help. The prosecuter used his past conviction, his wild ass lyrics, and dvd behavior to paint him as a monster. Oh and Max went to court wearing a fucking fitted cap a few times, ((Wild Stupid)). I mean I never want to see a black man get killed or get sent up stream, but at the same time we complain the system is not made for us, so why do we constantly put ourselves in a position for the system to catch us and fuck us.
As for the broad she is a dummy. She snitched or cooperated and still got hit with 18 years, NO POINT IN SNITCHING WHEN YOU WAS ALL IN IT !!!!!! Why would you help the police do their work. The game is called cops and robbers idiot ass broad. Mama always told me don't do the crime if you can't do the time... plain and simple

MAX B JUST GOT ROOFED ---> WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG

@Cranstonjuliani... I would want justice no doubt. Like lock that bitch and Kevin Leederjam up. Smell me??? Feel me?? See me? Dont touch me tho..:0... No Homo.. It was his chick and his  step brother.. that did the business...give me a break. Did the jury have sufficient info to convict him? What evidence was presented? These questions we do not know at this time. Maybe sun was involved but until we see the transcript, my ni99a, we all just speculating.. with that being said ..again my heart and condolences go out to the David Taylor family as well as the Max B fam. Aint no winners here. Black men are convicted at a higher rate than White men and it aint due to the fact that we just doing crime at a faster rate. The justice system is a trap. That's where that southern slang meaning hustle emanates from. The realest talk. A part of each of us is incarerated at the end of the day because too many brothers are lockd down... let's turn these statistics on its' head.

@ Pharoah1983 & v4vendetta Though it is true that we black men are US prison poster children and the preferred occupants of prisons around the world. We need to be accountable for our actions. This means known and be responsible. DIPSET pushes this bullshit on our youth relentlessly. Bragging of supposed gang ties and drug selling. MAX is just one of many who personally buys into their subscribed fates. Yeah run, if you have to, with my blessing if your freedom is being snatch. Hell fight back any way you can to drive that point home. But if you know your ignorant ass shook the dice and took this chance @ foolishness? Then eat that. We as black people know far too much about the traps of this system to be involved in stupid shit. We suffer from upholding and celebrating negative traditions, you know we think...."That's a Black Thing to be a FUCK UP" We see power in our negative numbers actions, on some me too shit. It's a shame. End the regression.

typical al sharpton and jesse jackson race card responses come out everytime some dumbass rapper gets the consequences.

they jury was all white. or the witness bitch lying to save herself. if the jury was black you morons in here would be calling them uncle tom sellouts, house niggaz, or snitches. fuck outta here

thats like when that nigga tookie took a dirt nap and got executed. jesse jackson out in the front of the prison acting the media whore that he is. he's approached by a radio station covering the protest of the execution. they ask jesse "what are you here for?" to which he replies "i'm here in support of tookie williams and to protest his execution." the reporter then asks "but jesse what about the victims of the crime the people that died?" jesse replies "oh i am sending my heartfelt condolonces to each and every one of the victims families and i pray for them throughout this whole ordeal" the reporter asks "ok jesse so what are the victims names?" jesse replies "........................... walks off and ignores the question"

why don't you go on a site for people who sympathise with inmates , or do charity work for niggas you think have been wrongly convicted , and i rather have the ugliest girl out there than been sharing a cell with a dude

you attack people on here because they work 9 to 5 , because you think like a lot of lazy niggas and want to come up with putting in as little effort as possible , you can't have it both ways you want to be cocky get fast money frown apon people who work and pay taxes to keep the system running , and when it all fucks up
you scream INJUSTICE ,

INJUSTICE is what happened to Medgar Evers , Malcolm X , Emmett Till , SeanBell , MalcoLm X , H Rap Brown , Jenna 6 , Martin Luther King , Nelson Mandela , Steve Biko , Mumia Abu-Jamal , Amadou Diallo
Not niggas who make voilent threats on the net and radio , not niggas who who hang around with negative people and get caught up in the mix

I'm to mature to make "drop the soap jokes" because i'm aware of the seriousness of Max B's and HIS VICTIM   DAVID TAYLOR'S situation and the implications it has on minorities as a whole , but i'm afraid niggas like you and your cavalier attitude to right and wrong will continue to keep black people under mental slave conditions for a long time to come

truthfully if i had my way i would make aa seperate state where blackmen and women who shit talk like you can stay and destroy eachother ,
while the more progressive BLACK thinkers could get together and like RAKIM  SAID "ITS TIME TO BUILD"
