In a deal announced on June 21st, rapper Lil Wayne has plead guilty to a drug charge in Arizona, which may help him avoid jail time. The deal was made via video from New York where Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, is serving a year for gun possession.
The charge stems from a bust on his tour bus back in January 2008, where ecstasy was allegedly found in his backpack. Lil Wayne could face three years in prison for drug possession, but the plea deal could have him serve 36 months of probation instead.
The plea deal currently is only a recommendation, and will be confirmed at a later date when Lil Wayne goes in front of the judge.

The trustees for Dennis Hopper, who have control over his estate and property, are currently trying to reach an amicable agreement with Hopper’s wife Victoria Hopper and the division their property.
Back in March 2010, Dennis Hopper filed an amendment to his estate plan that would cut Victoria’s share from 40% to 25%. This amendment may not be valid, however, because the couple were pending divorce, which would severely limit Hopper’s ability to change his estate plan under California law.
Victoria contends that she is entitled to at least 25% of the estate.
This is a good example of why you should always have your estate planning, including wills and trusts, up to date and following the laws of your state.
