Rapper DMX rejected a plea bargain for a recent White Plains traffic case yesterday (July 24). The New York lyricist (born Earl Simmons) cited unfair treatment as the reason behind his refusal. The acceptance of the plea bargain would have ended the case. "I don't feel good about this at all,'' DMX said as he referenced the bail set by City Court Judge Barbara Leak. "It's not fair - $25,000 for traffic tickets? Come on. Let's keep it real.'' Leak set the bail after DMX did not appear for previous court dates. As a result, the wordsmith spent a night at the Westchester County Jail on June 30. Leak, who adjourned the case until Aug. 25, said it is possible for conferences to be held in order to resolve the case without going to trial. If DMX is convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail.
