Lil Wayne has pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence. He previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3 1/2 years in prison upon conviction. His trial had been due to start Jan. 20.
The somber-looking rapper did not speak as he left the courthouse with members of his entourage, who piled into four SUVs. Police said a gun was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007.
His trial had been due to start Jan. 20. The judge had been holding a hearing on a debated DNA profiling technique used to tie the rapper to the gun.

Lil Wayne, 27, also is scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, which arose from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.
In New York, he politely answered the judge’s standard questions with “yes, Sir” and “no, Sir” as he entered his plea to second-degree attempted weapon possession, a felony.
He acknowledged he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun on bus. When the judge warned that he would not be able to withdraw the plea as some people try to do, the rapper said, “I’m not one of those people.” (Associated Press)
After we seen how the Big Apple did our boy Plaxico, there is no sugar-coating this shit. Word on the net is that Weezy may only get 8 months jail time for the charge.
