In a pre-sentencing letter to the judge, prosecutors said his вЂњcooperation was extraordinaryвЂќ and was вЂњboth incredibly significant and extremely usefulвЂќ, enabling them to charge additional individuals. вЂњIвЂ™m happy that the public was able to witness me dealing with the consequences of my actions because I feel like it sheds a light on what can come from gang affiliation,вЂќ he wrote. He expressed similar remorse for his actions in a letter he wrote last week to Engelmayer, discussing the relief he felt when he was arrested and his plan to make amends by warning others not to follow in his path. He then read from a lengthy letter, saying, вЂњI made a lot of bad choices in life, but that does not make me a bad person.вЂќ

I put myself in this position from day one,вЂќ Tekashi 6ix9ine said. Prior to his sentencing Wednesday, Tekashi 6ix9ine expressed regret for joining the gang, apologizing to his family, his fans and the victims in the case. It was complete and it was brave,вЂќ said the US district Judge Paul Engelmayer as he announced the sentence, which is far lower than federal guidelines for the crimes, in a Manhattan courtroom.Д«ut the judge said the amount of time the rapper has spent in prison was not enough for the violence of his crimes. The testimony helped get the convictions of two high-ranking Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods members. He has already served 13 months and will be released in late 2020.ДЄfter his arrest, he shed the outlaw reputation heвЂ™d curated online and testified against his gang mates earlier this year, causing some to label him a вЂњsnitchвЂќ. He pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges accusing him of joining the gang known as Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The 23-year-old performer, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, could have been sentenced to decades in prison for crimes that included orchestrating a shooting in which an innocent bystander was wounded. The rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to two years in prison Wednesday for his entanglement with a violent street gang that fueled his rise to fame, but was spared a much harsher possible sentence because of his extraordinary decision to become a star witness for prosecutors.
