Rapper pleads not guilty to attempted murder
Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other counts Sunday in the shooting of a woman in a trendy Manhattan neighborhood.
At the rapper's arraignment, a judge granted the prosecution's request for bail to be set at $250,000. Martin was jailed while the judge reviewed her bail offer.
Police found a woman with a gunshot wound to her lower torso early Saturday in the Meatpacking District, which is usually crowded with late-night revelers on weekends.
Three blocks away, officers discovered a luxury SUV owned by Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith. The vehicle was involved in a single-car crash and abandoned, police said.
The victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, 23, was hospitalized in stable condition Sunday. Prosecutors said she and the rapper knew each other.
Remy Ma turned herself in Saturday night. She was charged with attempted murder, assault and weapon possession.
“I ask everyone to keep an open mind,” said Scott Leemon, her attorney. “Things are not always as they seem.”
Oneonta native crowned Miss New York
A 23-year-old aspiring motivational speaker was crowned Miss New York after a night of competition, including a talent show that featured belly dancing and ballet set to Bon Jovi.
Elisabeth Baldanza, of upstate Oneonta, became the queen of the Empire State on Saturday night at the Dix Hills Center for the Performing Arts in Huntington. With the win, she goes on to represent the state at the Miss America Pageant in 2008.
“I am shocked and very excited,” the newly minted queen said.
After being crowned, Baldanza left the stage and was driven away in a white Rolls Royce parked out front of the center.
The graduate of Mercy Hurst College is the first Miss New York to be crowned on Long Island; the pageant moved to Huntington this year after spending a quarter-century in upstate Watertown.
Claims say Paris gotspecial treatment in jail
The California sheriff's department where Paris Hilton was jailed has opened an investigation into allegations that she received special treatment during her 23 days in jail for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case, authorities said.
The internal probe will examine whether the hotel heiress was given free access to a cordless phone instead of being forced to wait in line to use a pay phone at certain hours, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
