Celebrity Justice
Foxy Brown Gets a Year in the Slammer!

Foxy Brown will spend the next year in jail for violating her probation -- and she's going straight back to a cell on Rikers Island, where she's spent the last two weeks.
Breaking News: Foxy Brown
TMZ was in the courtroom when it all went down, and Judge Melissa Jackson slammed Foxy's pleas for mercy, calling her a "great actress," and saying that if this were the first time she'd apologized, she might be believable, but not now. We're told that Foxy was visibly distraught by the verdict, and her mother refused to talk to reporters outside. Foxy originally was sentenced to the probation after an assault on two employees at a nail salon in Manhattan.

Outside the courtroom, cops from New Jersey -- where she allegedly lied to cops about her birthdate and state of residence -- told TMZ that she got what she deserved. Interesting note: if she serves the full term, Foxy will give birth in prison.

Story developing ...




The bad news didn't end there for Foxy (real name: Inga Marchand), as she was also indicted in Kings County for her alleged attack on a Brooklyn woman with a BlackBerry. What's more, she was indicted on charges of battery in connection with an incident at a Florida hair salon in February.

Her lawyer Alan Stutman told TMZ that he thought the punishment was "unfair." TMZ has learned that Foxy will be transported later tonight to a women's facility on Rikers Island where she will serve her sentence, during which she will be eligible for parole in eight months -- if she behaves, that is.

76. 1. Paris Hilton did not go to jail for DUI. She went to jail for driving on a suspended license...a violation of her probation from her DUI. This hardly compares to REPEATEDLY physically attacking people.

2. Different states have different court systems. This (along with all of her past criminal acts listed in a previous post) is why she got sentenced to (and will likely serve) more jail time.

3. She definitely needs to be locked up....and yes, I am black.

Pray for the baby..............

77. Yeh, the artist done another sideways portrait. If youze look at the other ones, almost all of em are sideways, except one. That is., the artist drawed the people in the court, and the judge, like, 12 people, and all of em are sideways except one.

Just like when you see pictures of fish. Cuz nobody draws a fish from the front, cuz it would be too thin. But people can be drawed from the front. k.

Thx

78. Miss Raine says..."But let a BLACK celebrity break the law and they're serving full sentences (lil kim, foxy etc.) I guess that 14th ammendment and all that marching Dr. King did isn't going as far as planned... how sad"

Are you on crack??? You seem to conveniently forget the likes of pedophile Michael Jackson or double murderer OJ Simpson..roaming the streets even as I type this. It was their celebrity and their celebrity alone that got them off, so stop playing the race card you freakin one trick pony!!! Racism comes in all colors, so why don't you go take a good long look in the mirror.

79. Number 81. Straightens up? Ya. She richer than everybody posting here, combined. If she were Paris, the Sheriff would be letting her go after an hour. If that. Wonder if Larry King interview her after. Guess not.

82. Why is is that all of those young white celebrities get a slap on the wrist and she got a year?

83. The only reason I feel the least bit sorry for her is because she might have her baby in jail. Other than that I think she got what she deserves. She needs some serious anger management to get rid of those tantrums. Honestly, my little cousins don't act as bad as her.

84. Punishment fit the crime for this celeb like it did for others. Will she get out in 82min? No. I think it all needs to be punished but drinking driving way worse!

85. Ha, I always new NY criminal justice was better than LA! Ain't no way she is getting good time with that attitude. Nobody makes a turn around in behavior that quick. Her remorse to the judge-croc tears! She's doing the full term(and them some if she gets convicted of the other cell phone assault!)!

86. Notfair- You obviously need to be reminded that Hilton did not commit a VIOLENT crime. As a matter of fact, up until the early 90s what hilton did would have been called a victimless crime. PCers caused that term to go out of vogue though. Assault and battery is very much violent and has a victim in every sense of the word. Kindly quit looking for the race card in all this. You wont find a clear example unless you manufacture it! I dare you to tell me I'm wrong-I have a criminal justice degree to back up MY mouth!

87. The first thing you got to remember is this is NYC not LA. Second thing is race once again has nothing to do with it. Nicole Richie got less time than Paris Hilton. If OJ was tried in NYC his ass would be in Attica for life.

88. 6 months tops....but she deserves it...rightfully so Paris served what 1 month but she didn't "HIT" anyone, she was in violation of her bail and that's why she went to jail...Foxy is going around smacking people and she thinks that's ok...hell no she will serve more time then Paris or Nicole for that matter. you put your hands on somebody you will go to jail...maybe she'll get some help for her anger issues in there.

89. Ya and what did Russell Crowe get throwing his phone in the face of the manager.... Oh wait, he's white, so he get a pat on the back........ Sheriff probably invite him over for dinner to see his etchings......

90. If she was white she would have got a slap on the wrist and probably would have done 84 minutes and be out drinkin and chillin with brittney,pris and nicole. Keep ya head up Foxy.
