The rapper Caswell Senior is strategizing to curtail his time behind bars by questioning the nature of his alleged crimes.
Caswell Senior, known as Casanova, is currently in the midst of his appeal process against a 15-year prison sentence
A key argument Caswell Senior is putting forth is whether his actions can be indeed classified as criminal offenses. Moreover, Caswell Senior is emphasizing his profound acknowledgment of responsibility concerning his charges related to racketeering, asserting this should be taken into account for leniency.
These allegations are linked to the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods gang. At the center of Caswell Senior legal maneuver is his contention that his charges for robbery lack legal foundation. Caswell Senior maintains that the incident for which he was apprehended in 2018 doesn’t legally meet the criteria for robbery under New York state law. The incident stems from an altercation at the Good Stuff Diner.
The confrontation involved Niya Rucker, who filmed Caswell Senior at the diner
This altercation has significantly contributed to his conviction. Among 18 co-defendants, Caswell Senior faces charges ranging from murder and attempted murder to drug dealing as part of a racketeering case. However, the incident in New York has garnered particular attention.
Rucker alleges that during this encounter, associates of the 36-year-old rapper physically assaulted her, attempting to delete the recorded footage and causing her injury. Caswell Senior, alongside his legal representation, refutes these claims. They contend that Rucker departed the scene with her phone. This development adds to the intricate legal battle Caswell Senior is navigating as he seeks a reduction in his prison sentence.
