On this day, 27 March 2008, a jury convicts rapper Remy Ma of assault charges stemming from a shooting outside a Manhattan night club.

New York Supreme Court sentenced her to eight years in prison on Tuesday for charges of assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion. The prosecution had originally requested a 13-year sentence — less than the max of 25 years she was facing — but the judge in the case gave the rapper eight years.
