NEWS: B.G.'s (@BGHollyHood) Sentencing Date On Weapon & Witness Tampering Charges Delayed Again?

The federal court sentencing of a local hip-hop star convicted on weapons and witness-tampering charges has been postponed to next month. Christopher Dorsey, 31, of St. Rose, who raps under the moniker B.G., or Baby Gangsta, and was a member of the rap supergroup the Hot Boys, is set to be sentenced July 18, according to recent court filings.

Dorsey is facing roughly eight to 10 years in prison, according to sentencing recommendations made by probation officers. Prosecutors with U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office have sought a longer prison stint. 
Dorsey pleaded guilty in December.

Dorsey was arrested with two other men in November 2009 for allegedly possessing three weapons, along with loaded magazines and two extended clips, while driving in eastern New Orleans. New Orleans police said two of the three guns had been reported stolen, while the car itself had been stolen from an Alamo rental car parking lot.

The case was later moved from state court to the federal system and resulted in federal indictments last year of Dorsey's associates: Demounde Pollard, 19, and Jerod Fedison, 29.

Both pleaded guilty, paving the way for the charges against Dorsey.

In December, Dorsey pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and witness tampering. But prosecutors made clear there is no plea agreement or deal in place. The rapper's songs and videos have celebrated the "no snitch" credo. He even highlighted aspects of the case against him in some of his songs.
