Max B was accused of masterminding an attempt to rob two wealthy men, Allen Plowden and David Taylor, but the plan went wrong. As a result, Taylor was shot and killed. To execute the plan, Charly Wingate, also known as Max B, sought the help of his girlfriend Gina Conway and his stepbrother Kelvin Leerdem. Now, a rep has confirmed to XXLMag.com that Max B was indeed found guilty in the trial.
Back in May, NorthJersey.com reported that Conway’s words would weigh heavily on the outcome of the case [click here].
“The case truly rises and falls on the words of Gina Conway,” said Max B’s attorney, Gerald Saluti.
According to new reports, this was true [click here]. Conway turned on the rapper and became a star witness for a shorter jail sentence. According to Saluti, she may only face 10 years of jail time.
