It looks like Shawty Redd has dodged a major bullet in his recent legal case. News broke earlier today that the Atlanta-based producer has been acquitted of all charges in his 2010 murder case.
According to MTV, Redd was found not guilty of all charges related to last yearâs New Yearâs Day shooting of Damon Martin. After reviewing the defenseâs case in the trial, Judge Wade Crumbly cleared the âSexual Eruptionâ producer of murder and misdemeanor charges on the grounds of that Redd acted in self-defense when he shot Martin.
âThe defense [in the trial] was clearly self-defense,â said Reddâs attorney Ashutosh Joshi. âWe argued that Reddâs life was threatened both verbally and physically, and this occurred in his home and that he shot this gentleman as a result of that.â
