Bobby Shmurda has appeared at Manhattan Supreme Court to plead not guilty to conspiracy to murder.
The 20-year-old rapper appeared alongside 12 other members of his GS9 crew on Thursday. The group face a combined total of nearly 100 charges, including murder, attempted murder and assault, as well as various gun and drug-related offenses. All have pleaded not guilty.
According to XXL, Shmurda's new lawyer challenged the $2 million bail figure set by Judge James Burke, calling the fee "extremely unfair" and "excessive." He requested a special bail hearing for this Monday to lower the amount which was denied.
The judge refused to lower bail for any of the defendants but vowed to revisit the claims at the next scheduled court session on 22 April.
Shmurda was initially arrested on charges including reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon, conspiracy to commit murder in the second degree and criminally using drug paraphernalia. If convicted, the 'Hot N****' rapper could face up to 25 year in prison.
The trial continues.
