Real Boston Richey<\/a>\u2019s retrial date for his federal gun and drugs case<\/a> has been pushed back to January 27 of next year.<\/p>\n Legal documents obtained by Complex reveal that the retrial was moved to January just days before it was supposed to kick off (on Sept. 29), due to the government filing for a continuance. The lead prosecutor reported being sick while also caring for a young kid who\u2019s similarly ill (which he speculates to be due to RSV or COVID).<\/p>\n Since the defense lawyers didn\u2019t object, Judge Mark Walker signed off on the delay, citing that \u201cthe ends of justice\u201d are more important than pressing ahead.<\/p>\n According to the documents, the key charge that Richey, born Jalen Taheen Foster, will be facing in the retrial is conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute marijuana.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

He was found not guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking offense.<\/p>\n His co-defendant, Rayshun Foster, better known as Real Boston Glizzy, was also found not guilty of the same two charges. Richey and Glizzy faced the additional charge for conspiracy to distribute marijuana, which is the subject of the trial. The case\u2019s other two defendants, De’Anthony Swatzie and Jerdy Miller, Jr., will be in the retrial as well, facing the same count, with Miller facing one additional charge.<\/p>\n Originally, Richey wasn\u2019t supposed to be released from federal custody pending the retrial, but a judge reinstated his pretrial release.<\/a><\/p>\n The somewhat chaotic situation played out this way: On Aug. 21, after the first trial, Judge Walker told the rapper he could go home with an ankle monitor. But that oral ruling was reneged shortly afterwards when U.S. Marshals flagged an out-of-state warrant that he had.<\/p>\n Richey\u2019s attorney informed the court that a Texas judge reinstated the rapper\u2019s bond on Aug. 25, clearing the hold that would have caused him to be extradited if he were released by the federal court.<\/p>\n With that hold eliminated, the Florida court granted Richey\u2019s motion and restored his release conditions with added curfew and location monitoring conditions.<\/p>\n The rapper\u2019s warrant was due to charges stemming from him allegedly choking his then-girlfriend outside of a Houston nightclub in March.<\/p>\n <\/a> Real Boston Richey Released Pending Retrial on Drug Conspiracy Charge<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Real Boston Richey’s “Help Me”: Here Are the Lyrics<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Real Boston Richey Acquitted of Two Federal Charges, Faces Retrial on Third<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Coi Leray Slams Reports She’s Upset with Cardi B Over Bia Diss Namedrop: \u2018Get a Life!!’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n D4vd Towed Tesla Investigation: Why Has No One Been Charged in Death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez?<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
