But U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson declined to sentence the R&B singer to less time than called for under federal guidelines.
"The term serial tax avoider has been used. I think that's appropriate," Pregerson said.

Was he hoping for a Martha/Lil' Kim sentence? His health issues haven't stopped him from from making plenty of albums, marry his young backup singer and creating a child.
I agree with Soror kiml and that he needs to let the Mr. Big persona go. It's been going on since I was in HS, and my 10 year reunion is next year.
Has anyone wonder why all of these other stars have been charged, tried and convicted/aquitted and Rrrrr's trial hasn't started yet? It's been going on for about what, 5 years now?
