FOXY BROWN COMMITS A BIG NO-NO: ATTEMPTS TO NEGOTIATE A PLEA DEAL WITH FLORIDA STATE ATTORNEYS WITHOUT HER LAWYER.

Don't you just hate it when people do stupid sh!t? Foxy Brown hasn't been home for jail for a week, and yet she's already inching herself back into her old ways. The same old ways she claims to have left behind Rikers prison walls in order to 'embrace her maturation' and 'foster her growth.' If her Tuesday (April 21) courtdate is any indication, Foxy still has a lot more maturing to do. The rapper showed up in a Broward county courtroom for a status hearing for assault charges stemming from a February 2007 altercation at a beauty supply store, without her lawyer and proceeded to make an attempt at negotiating a plea deal with the state attorney. It was this move that led to her lawyer resigning himself from her case. And can you blame him? How in the hell do you think that trying to negotiate with the prosecutors ON YOUR OWN will make your legal situation better? Especially when you just got out of prison?

I guess the prayers she made at a New York church the other day weren't in vain because the judge in her case gave her two weeks to find a new attorney and to return to court on May 8th. She better be thankful the judge has given her more time to seek legal counsel...something she wouldn't have had to do if she had conversed with first lawyer on what strategy they would use to get her a decent plea deal. The girl goes to prison for 8 months, gets out and all of a sudden she think knows everything there is to know about the judicial system. Somebody better tell her she can't be bringing her jailhouse-lawyer teachings into the real world.

Foxy was arrested in Pembroke Pines in Broward County after allegedly throwing hair glue at a beauty supply store employee last year. Police claim she became angry after being asked to leave the store since it was closing. Brown was also charged with resisting an officer with violence, battery and struggling with an officer on the scene. After posting bond, Foxy was permitted to return to New York and later wound up in trouble with the law again. Foxy was already on probation for assaulting two manicurists in a Manhattan salon in 2004. She was warned by a judge in March 2007 that she would be sent to prison for a year if she got into any trouble with the law. Five months after the warning, Foxy was sentenced and incarcerated (Sept. 7) for assaulting her neighbor, Arleen Raymond.

Brooklyn's Don Diva is scheduled to be released on May 13.
