Rapper Max B has prison term shortened from 75 years to 20HACKENSACK, New Jersey -- A New York rap artist sentenced to 75 years in prison after a deadly robbery at a New Jersey hotel had his sentence cut by at least 55 years on Friday. His conviction was vacated earlier this summer after his new lawyers argued his previous attorney had a conflict. Witnesses testified that Taylor and a friend had been seen in Harlem driving expensive cars and showing off cash in the days before the robbery. Wingate fought for post-conviction relief after his previous attorney convinced him to go to trial rather than accept a plea bargain that offered a 10-year sentence, Latoracca said. His attorneys argued that his previous attorney had a conflict of interest because he was also serving as his manager and entertainment lawyer.
