August 5, 2005: Foxy Rejects Second Plea Offer
Appearing in Manhattan Criminal Court earlier today, Foxy Brown (pictured below) rejected a second plea offer in connection with her alleged attack on two manicurists in a Chelsea nail salon last August. Confident of her innocence, Foxy rejected prosecutors' first plea deal in May; their similar offer this afternoon would have required Foxy to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault and serve ten days of community service. "She didn't commit any misdemeanor," explained Brown's attorney, Joseph Tacopina. "That's the bottom line." While in court, Tacopina filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Foxy. Barring any further negotiation with the prosecution, however, Brown's trial will begin September 22.
