New York, March 17 – It seems that the conservative look didn’t help rap queen Lil’ Kim avoid conviction. A federal jury today found Kim guilty on four counts of lying to a federal grand jury about a 2001 shootout involving her posse. Kim froze when the verdict was read, and remained motionless. Her personal assistant, Monique Dopwell, who was also convicted, broke into tears upon hearing the guilty verdict. After the crowd had filed out and she was alone in the courtroom with her mother, Kim began crying, but composed herself before she went outside to face the media barrage. She made no comment, and her lawyer, Mel Sachs, said he would issue a statement tomorrow. The only bright spot was that Kim and her assistant were acquitted of obstructing justice, the most serious of the charges brought against them.
