Who favorited?Max B Found Guilty In '06 Murder Case
by on June 9th, 2009
Harlem rapper Max B has reportedly been found guilty on multiple felony murder conspiracy charges stemming from a 2006 robbery that left one man dead.
Max B, real name Charly Wingate, was the alleged mastermind behind a $30,000 heist targeting two men in 2006.
Wingate is accused of conspiring with his step brother Kelvin Leerdam, and his girlfriend Gina Conway.
Conway served as the prosecution’s secret weapon in the case, testifying against the rapper in exchange for a shorter sentence.
Conway testified that she told Wingate of David Taylor and Allan "Jay" Plowden's flashy life style--making them the perfect targets.
Plowden and Taylor were robbed of over $30,000 worth of cash and personal effects in a Fort Lee hotel on September 22, 2006.
During the botched robbery Plowden was bound with duct tape, and Taylor was killed by a gunshot to the head.
A guilty verdict was announced moments ago.
Wingate along with his step brother, were found guilty of 9 out of 11 counts including felony murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit murder. Wingate was reportedly detained immediately.
His sentencing date is set for July 30, 2009.

Because he was flashy? WOW! Since when has it been a crime to be flashy?
I hope Im not the victim of a senseless act like this just because I want to wear items that the store has sold me!!!!
In the head? Execution style?

LET HIM ROT SLOWLY IN JAIL!!! THEN AGAIN IN HELL!
any real nigga that’s been through any real shit knows that no one has any place to comment on a nex nigga’s plight. what is stated in court and on court papers is often far from reality. no one here commenting knows the truth. yet you got a bunch of faggots who love to listen to guys talk about killing n drugs but then when they find out it is true or encounter a real nigga (someone who is true to their word).. they stay getting self-righteous and all their estrogen worked up talkin about how niggaz should be locked up for life n shit. and THEN have the audacity to judge other rappers on their authenticity.. talkin bout “oh so-n-so aint real.. fuck that nigga n his music.. he aint no killa”. wtf? i havent downloaded a mixtape in prolly a year. n its cuz these faggots are destroying our culture and in turn.. rappers be tryin to appeal to their faggot taste to make a dollar. this whole shit is fucked up. free max b.. cuz no matter his innocence or guilt.. it’s not for a thirdparty to make a profit off our own community’s problems (military-industrial complex).
Stupid enough to spend the rest of your life in prison!”

Wise Up Dude
These rappers aint as doughed up as you think they are… most of their money is tied up in shit anyways… and 80% of the jewelry and cars u see them in is rented or leased…
The only rappers with enough dough to skip a 30k opportunity are rappers like Hov, 50, T.I., Wayne… etc.
And Max B wasn’t all that great… he had some good hooks tho… he deserves everything that is coming to him… he couldnt stack his own dough so he gotta set up a robbery and someone got killed… u fuckers act like since it was a grimey white dude its okay… FUCK MAX and ESPECIALLY FUCK ALL U SUPPORTIN HIM
“Max B, real name Charly Wingate, was the alleged mastermind behind a $30,000 heist targeting two men in 2006.”
“Wingate along with his step brother, were found guilty of 9 out of 11 counts including felony murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit murder.”

Former Dipset affiliate Max B was found guilty of manslaughter and conspiracy to commit robbery Tuesday (June 9) after a judge ruled over the case in a New Jersey courtroom.
According to the rapper’s attorney, Gerald Saluti, Max B (born Charles Wingate) was found guilty on nine of the 11 counts he was facing. The charges stem from a theft that involved the rapper, Kelvin Leerdam and Max’s former girlfriend Gina Conway. Conway eventually turned state’s evidence against the men.
Max B was accused of leading the trio to steal upward of $30,000 from two men. The incident went awry, however, when Leerdam allegedly shot one of the men.
Conway testified in the case that Max B wasn’t present at a hotel room he rented at the time of the crime. The rapper’s attorney spoke to MTV News on Tuesday and expressed frustration about Conway’s testimony.
“They found him guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery. There’s a very specific definition of robbery, by force,” Saluti explained. "Then they found him guilty of aggravated manslaughter, instead of unintentional murder. The theory on which they convicted him leads to conspiracy.
“It’s boggling,” Saluti continued. “The witness [Conway] said the plan wasn’t to rob but to go in there and steal money with no one there.”
Saluti previously filed a motion on Max’s behalf to separate his case from Leerdam’s since the second man was allegedly believed to be the shooter. The attorney said he feels his client should be facing lesser charges based on the evidence presented. He has filed an appeal with the court, and a motion should be made within 10 days, Saluti said.
Sentencing for Max B is set for July 31.
The news is undoubtedly a huge disappointment for Max’s fans, who have been waiting for his official album since he was introduced as a member of Jim Jones’ Byrd Gang crew some years ago. Max made immediate impact on the chorus of Cam’ron’s Jay-Z dis record “You Gotta Love It.” Jones featured Max on a string of underground songs and mixtapes until Max was arrested on his charges in 2006.
Jones posted $2 million bond, but things fell apart between the two from what Jones called disloyalty and jealousy. Max claimed he was wronged financially. The feud has yet to be resolved, despite B still being signed to Jones’ record label.
B has kept himself visible in the streets. He has hundreds of songs on mixtapes circulating over the past few years.
Max formed an alliance with French Montana, who built a strong name for himself in the mixtape and street-DVD circuits. Max and French branched out to work with G-Unit’s Tony Yayo, who told MTV News he would have loved to sign B if he could get the business straightened out with Jones. Besides more mixtapes, Max had a deal with Amalgam Digital to release an LP, which has yet to see the light of day.
so get ya story straight
@ bluhefner I don’t think anyone is hatin on max. I just think people feel like what he got himself involved with was stupid. No matter what his motive was!
