Seeking to overturn a near decade prison sentence, rapper Remy Ma has retained the legal services of decorated trial attorney William "Billy" Murphy, Jr.
Murphy first gained national exposure by obtaining an acquittal for fight promoter Don King on federal charges of defrauding Lloyd's of London.
Murphy also reversed a $1.6 million verdict against rapper DMX and secured a civil judgment of $35 million for former Ravens Defensive End Michael McCrary.
On July 14, 2007 Remy Ma is alleged to have shot her best friend in the stomach due to a money dispute.
She was sentenced to 8 years in prison on assault, illegal weapons possession, and attempted coercion charges on May 13, 2008.
Awaiting appeal, Remy Ma is currently serving her sentence at Bedford Hills Correctional for women.
