[INTERVIEW] Bun B on The Topic of Rap Lyrics Being Used In Trials
Monday, January 20, 2014 at 12:29PM
Bun B got a chance to talk with Tamron Hall of
MSNBC about the recent developments in the case
of Vonte Skinner, who had a conviction for shooting
someone in 2008 overturned. In that trial, 13 pages
of his lyrics were read into the record as evidence.
The case was overturned by the apellate court feeling
the lyrics should never have been admitted as evidence,
violating his First Amendment rights. More on the
case can be found here. A very serious topic to
consider.
