A rapper from Atlanta, Georgia has inadvertently convicted himself of aggravated assault via his lyrics. Rico Wright was found guilty of shooting an associate, Chad Blue, in the groin and buttocks in September 2006. Blue had previously testified that he did not know who shot him. But it emerged that Wright had later recorded a track on which he rapped: "Ask Chad Blue, he knows I can shoot".
Judge Donnie Gillis sentenced Wright to 20 years in prison and 20 years probation.
