The Game Headed to Trial

As previously reported, The
Game was hit with three felony charges; stemming from an incident that
happened in February of 2007 in which the rapper was charged with possession of
a firearm in a school zone, exhibiting a firearm on the grounds of a facility
for minors and making criminal threats.

After pleading not guilty in June, The Game appeared in court today (Jan. 9) where a trial date was set for
February 4^th. If convicted the Compton rapper faces up to 5 years in
prison.

On top of the weapons case trial, The Game’s lawyer claims the LAPD

According to TMZ, a hearing is scheduled on January 22^nd to
determine if the LAPD is in contempt of court for failing to return the
confiscated money.
