BOBBY SHMURDA FIGHT W/CRIPS?

 

 

Montgomery touched on everything from his hopes for tomorrow's outcome to his client's current state. "I expect — like most of my cases, the thousands of cases that I’ve had — I expect the judge to have a decision based on a motion that I authored and gave the courts and the prosecutors to respond," he said. "And I expect the case to be put on some sort of track for discovery to make sure all the paperwork is turned over. I expect to give a hard drive [to obtain] outstanding videotapes and other discovery that the district attorney has, and I expect to get locked in to try to fight this case."

Ideally, Montgomery wants Shmurda's bail reduced, but it's not likely. "What I would want is some reasonableness to take place and that this young man can be given a reasonable bail and get out. But I know what we’re up against. We’re not up against reason. We’re up against the rule of law."

When asked directly if there's hope for Shmurda to catch a break on the $2 million bail amount, Montgomery responded, "Not before this judge. Absolutely not." However, he also mentioned that Shmurda has been keeping his head up behind bars. "He's a tough kid."
