Remy Ma's attorney, Ivan Fisher reportedly admitted in closing arguments on Monday, March 24 that she did in fact shoot her friend in a July scuffle last year despite vehemently denying it, according to the Associated Press. Fisher called the shooting which left her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph hospitalized, an accident. Fisher claimed Reminisce Smith (Remy Ma) and Makeda struggled over the latter's bag when the two argued over missing money after leaving a birthday party. Remy Ma accused her friend of taking $3,000 cash.
Fisher tried to convince the jury that during their struggle, both of their hand the rearview mirror of Barnes-Joseph's car during the tussle and then the gun went off, according to the AP.
"There is no other explanation for why Remy Smith would have chosen that unique moment in time to shoot her."
That's right, no other explanation than:
"Oops, I really didn't mean for that gun to go off! Yikes, I better get my ass outta here."
Prosecutors insisted that Remy Ma had every intention of shooting her friend though. Assistant District Attorney Michael McIntosh argued Remy loaded the weapon herself and went into Barnes-Joseph's vehicle to settle the score and fled the scene when she sped away in a SUV. The gun hasn't yet been found though, but Remy Ma could face up to 25 years in prison for this.
Stay tuned...jury deliberation in the case begins Tuesday.
