Michigan Dept. Of Corrections Ex Inkster Cop William Melendez Get Sentence Overturned In Appeals Court An ex-cop who beat motorist Floyd Dent in the head and choked him during a traffic stop was convicted back in November, but this week an appeals court has overturned his sentence.

The appeals court ruled this week that Melendez can now serve half of his sentence in a boot camp facility where he will train military style for 90 days then move into a halfway house. According to The Root , after 13 months, he is eligible for parole. Talk about adding insult to injury! Dent said he’s suffered memory loss from the incident and has fear for his life.

An attorney for the deceased’s family has released new information alleging that Smith’s wife Raquel Smith was shot twice in the legs by Smith’s killer Cardell Haye before Hayes turned turned the gun on Smith and shot him seven times in the back and once in the chest. SMH… WDSU reports: The attorney for the family of Will Smith spoke for the first time Wednesday to give an account of what happened the night the former Saints football player was killed. Thomson said Will Smith and his passengers came up to a Hummer, which was being driven by Cardell Hayes, and the vehicle came to a sudden stop. He said Will Smith slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting the Hummer and believed he didn’t. He said Will Smith noticed the Hummer pulling over and, out of concern for his safety, he drove away down Magazine Street. He said that shortly afterward, Smith saw the Hummer driving at high speed behind him and it rammed into his vehicle. Thomson said Will Smith got out of his car to find out what happened. He approached the two men who were in the Hummer. The attorney said the driver of the Hummer, Hayes, was enraged. Racquel Smith and the other woman who was with them went over to where the former football player was and brought him back to their vehicle. Thomson said the driver of the Hummer followed them and fired twice. The bullets struck Racquel Smith in her legs, and she collapsed. He said the driver then shot Will Smith six to eight times in his back. Thomson said the gunman showed no remorse and stood over the former football player’s body. The attorney also added that while Smith did have a loaded gun in his car, he never brandished it. This whole situation is just so sad, what are your thoughts on the Will Smith update???

Azealia and Wale went at each other for over an hour over Black men’s lack of appreciation for Black women, and the preferences for the affections of other races that come about because of it. Of course, Azealia minced NO words when expressing how she felt about it all. Hit the flip for more… Twitter

Nicki claimed that too many folks were in her business so she’s just going to claim single-dom from now on. “I didn’t put up my Valentine’s Day gift on Instagram and people said, ‘They’re not together.’ We were getting anonymous messages saying, ‘Yeah, she wasn’t with him and she was crying all day.’ Just putting up all these things. Meanwhile, we were really in bed all day on Valentine’s Day. Like, seriously! We were in bed all day and then I got up and opened these three amazing gifts, and then I went back to bed. Then I read this story that we weren’t together on Valentine’s Day and it just made me realize that no matter how great your life is, you can’t even impress people. You just have to do you and make yourself happy and forget about trying to get everyone’s approval. It’s better just to keep those things sacred. “So, now, I don’t really care to say ‘I’m in a relationship’ or ‘I’m engaged’ or whatever. There’s a boy that likes me. That’s all.” For some reason people ran with the comments and claimed that Nicki Minaj was free from her Philly bae . Check out what Nicki had to say about the gossip via her IG page below: She added this for all the people who still questioned her relationship: Hit the flip for more from Nicki next…
