JT, who’s currently serving out a 24-month bid in a Tallahassee prison on felony identity theft charges, recently filed documents requesting permission to rejoin society sooner than her expected release date, and seeking placement in a halfway house.
Per her petition, the “Act Up” crooner claims she’s earned 108 days good conduct time credit, and that as of July 12, 2019, she will have completed “15.6 months (12 months plus 3.6 months earned good time credit), thereby leaving 8.4 months of her sentence to be served.”
Pointing to her newfound success, JT’s attorney informed the courts, “[JT] is one of two girls that make up the rap duo City Girls. Beginning around her change of plea City Girls became a force in the music industry. They have grown an intense fan base and have developed relationships with the elite of the elite.”
He continued, “It is without hesitation that I can proffer that you will never hear from this Defendant regarding any type of crime, much less an economic one. Granting this recommendation will allow the Defendant to get back to the studio where she belongs.”
Despite the thoughtful request, the judge denied the motion, but only because he wants the Bureau of Prisons to make the decision—leaving JT open for the possibility of early release.
Last year, prosecutors accused the “Where The Bag At” boomer of spending more than $1,000 on credit cards belonging to three different individuals between September 2016 through April 2017. Upon her release from prison, JT will have to complete one year of probation. Since JT began her sentence, the other half of City Girls, rapper Yung Miami, has been featured in music videos with Cardi B and Kodak Black.
