A Baton Rouge rapper known as "Lil Boosie" has been sentenced to
eight years in prison following his guilty plea to drug charges.
The
29-year-old rapper's real name is Torrence Hatch. He pleaded guilty
Tuesday to conspiring to smuggle codeine, marijuana and ecstasy into two
state prisons. They were the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola and
Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, La.
Assistant District
Attorney Dana Cummings says Hatch was serving a prison term for a
separate conviction for marijuana possession when he smuggled the drugs
with help from a prison guard.
State District Judge Mike Erwin in Baton Rouge sentenced him to the new prison term.
Hatch also faces a first-degree murder charge in the 2009 death of Terry Boyd. The trial is scheduled to start April 30.
