YFN Lucci catches a break in his racketeering case after accepting a plea deal that will leave him eligible for parole this summer.
Good news has found its way to YFN Lucci after sitting in jail for three years on racketeering charges. Today January 23, Lucci pleaded guilty to violating one count of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. This is a vast reduction of felony counts originally outlined in the case. Furthermore, he avoids the most serious charge felony murder. According to TMZ, prosecutors never thought Lucci pulled the trigger in the deadly shootout but suspected he was the driver.
The plea deal comes reportedly only days away from the case heading to trial.
Before the announcement of his sentence Lucci’s real name Rayshawn Bennett apologized to the victim’s family as well as his own according to WSBTV.
In the end, Lucci received a 20-year sentence with half to be served behind bars. Luckily he received credit for time served and will be eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of his sentence. Surprisingly the prosecution revealed they will not oppose his parole release. Essentially cementing his release from jail this summer when he passes the 40-month requirement for parole.
When it comes to Young Thug’s YSL RICO case YFN Lucci’s position has always been he would not take the stand. After the plea agreement was announced his lawyer Drew Findling echoed the same sentiments to the media outside the courthouse.
If all goes well in a little over 90 days Lucci will be released from prison.
