T.I. CONFIDENT OF NOT GUILTY VERDICT
Rapper T.I. is confident a jury will clear him of illegal weapons charges when his case is tried in a U.S. court in the coming months.
T.I. performing live at the Screamfest 2007 tour, held at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Los Angeles, California - 01.09.07
The Bring 'Em Out star - real name Clifford Harris Jr. - was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, last month (Oct07) on suspicion of taking possession of three machine guns and two silencers that a bodyguard allegedly purchased on his behalf.
He is currently being held on house arrest under 24-hour surveillance after being released from jail on $3 million (GBP1.5 million) bail.
A date for his trial has yet to be announced, but the star is confident of his innocence and has urged his fans not to believe everything they read in the press.
Speaking in a video posted on the internet, he says, "I look forward to be exonerated on all charges. And I say that with the utmost sincerity."
Harris adds that he is using all of his free time to read, write and work on a new album.
The 27-year-old could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 (GBP125,000) fine for each count - possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon - if convicted.
