Former Dipset affiliate Max B was found guilty of manslaughter and conspiracy to commit robbery Tuesday (June 9) after a judge ruled over the case in a New Jersey courtroom.
According to the rapper’s attorney, Gerald Saluti, Max B (born Charles Wingate) was found guilty on nine of the 11 counts he was facing. The charges stem from a theft that involved the rapper, Kelvin Leerdam and Max’s former girlfriend Gina Conway. Conway eventually turned state’s evidence against the men.
Max B was accused of leading the trio to steal upward of $30,000 from two men. The incident went awry, however, when Leerdam allegedly shot one of the men.
Conway testified in the case that Max B wasn’t present at a hotel room he rented at the time of the crime. The rapper’s attorney spoke to MTV News on Tuesday and expressed frustration about Conway’s testimony.
