Pooh Shiesty’s promising career was cut short last summer and things looked bleak for him ever since. His lawyers went above and beyond in a trial where he was facing a life sentence for two different shootings. It now appears that Pooh Shiesty will be sentenced in April.

Pooh Shiesty’s sentence was lowered from a possible life sentence to a maximum of eight years in early January after all charges stemming from an alleged attack in Miami were withdrawn. His lawyers now argue that he should be allowed release until his April 4 sentencing because the status of the case against him has changed.
