CARDI B’S FRIENDSHIP WITH STAR BRIM BROUGHT UP IN PLEA FOR REDUCED SENTENCING

Cardi B‘ friendship with accused gang leader Star Brim has been brought up by the accused’s attorneys in a plea for a reduced sentence.

According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, attorney Isabelle Kirshner filed the letter on Wednesday (February 14). In it, she told Judge Greg Daniels that her client (real name Yonette Davis) had turned her life around since her arrest, and that her friendship with the “Bodak Yellow” rapper played a part in that turnaround.

“Her Instagram presence grew tremendously because of her friendship with Belcalis Almanzar, better known as Cardi B,” Kirshner wrote. “Throughout the years, Star has developed skin care products, advertised other products and became an ‘influencer’ – which has allowed her to earn additional income.”

Kirshner went on to provide additional letters from other associates of Star’s, all of whom attested to her growth as a person and as a mother. For these reasons, Kirshner said, Judge Greg Daniels should be lenient in his sentencing of the accused gang leader — and that the sentencing not include jail time.

“Accordingly, we respectfully request that this Court impose a non-incarceratory sentence upon Ms. Davis, which is “sufficient, but not greater than necessary” to satisfy the ends of justice,” she concluded the letter.
