Tru Life Pleads Guilty In NY Stabbing, Avoids Life In Prison

    Tru Life pleaded guilty to gang assault on Wednesday (February 23) in a June 2009 stabbing that left Christopher Guerrero dead.

    As previously reported, the rapper and his brother were offered plea deals recently.

    Tru Life, born Robert Rosado, will receive an eight year prison sentence, while his older brother Marcus is expected to get 10 years for manslaughter, according to ABC News.

    “They wish to express their deepest sympathies to the Guerrero family, and it is their hope that by accepting responsibility, they can bring some measure of closure to the family,” said attorneys for the brothers, Alan M. Abramson and Joel S. Cohen.

    The incident was the result of an argument at a nightclub. Rosado and his brother reportedly chased down Guerrero and another man, Jason Gray. Guerrero was stabbed in the abdomen, and Gray’s artery was sliced, though he survived.

    Tru Life was originally signed to Jay-Z’s Roc-La-Familia, though he no longer has a recording deal.

    1. Shyne pt 2. Tragic for his career but he will have a long life after prison. Train, eat, shit and study, come out smarter and healthy. Yep yep. pz.

      1. shut the fuck up…..latin ppl dont call each other nigga???? and latin at a race, at some point he had a full 100% “nigga” is his family

      2. Regardless that’s how we do in New York. Blacks and Latinos aren’t divided like they are in other areas. We live in the same hoods, die in the same hoods. The Dominicans and Puerto Rican fight side by side with us. They’re “our niggas”.. we’re theirs.

    2. Our legal system is such a joke. Those eight years will probably be cut in half. If anything, the 10 year stretch will be alot harder for his brother. He better hope Andy Dufresne is his cell mate.

    3. and what happened to Jay-Z’s Roc-La-Familia label? Now he has Roc Nation? WTF? SMH…Feel sorry for both Jay Electronica and J.Cole …Would never sign to Jay-Z and that means NEVER!!! Jay is a snake in the music business. Soon enough he’ll get rid of Roc Nation and establish another label he won’t in vest his time into. He’s doing the ‘Watch The Throne’ album. Which is unnecessary for him to do because him Kanye have done enough shit together. He’s disregarding his record label in the process. Again Jay is a cutthroat snake and could care less.

    4. you all are tripping. a person lost their life and two others basically lost theirs. everyone has comment about his tattoos or about him being fake but, tru life made a mistake that he will live with for the rest of his life. that is more important than a reputation three lives were lost on june 23, 2009, and just cuz you’re alive does not mean you’re living quit the bullshit and free your mind
