6ix9ine’s Sentencing Date Set

Today, Judge Paul Engelmayer agreed to the request to move up the sentencing date for Daniel “6ix9ine” Hernandez, the controversial rapper-turned-cooperating-witness. 6ix9ine’s fate will be determined on Dec. 18, 2019 at 10 a.m. ET. It was previously set to happen on Jan. 24, 2020.

Update: #6ix9ine sentencing set for December 18 at 10 am. Submissions including anticipated 5K1 letter and government's recommended sentence will be filed before then. Inner City Press will stay on this and related cases: https://t.co/kUfvSypfAa pic.twitter.com/ZUAzWpoErX

6ix9ine famously took the witness stand last month at the trial of two of his fellow Nine Trey members, Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack. Both defendants were found guilty of racketeering; Ellison of kidnapping Hernandez and of slashing a different person in a separate incident; and Mack of dealing heroin and MDMA. Ellison and Mack will be sentenced in February. 

6ix9ine pleaded to crimes that carry a minimum of 47 years in jail but is likely to receive far less time due to his cooperation.
