After five weeks of being incarcerated, Beanie Sigel is seeking to be released from prison on bail. Sigel’s lawyer Fortunato N. Perri. Jr., told a Philadelphia judge yesterday that Sigel was not capable of fleeing town and skipping trial due to his fame. Perri also claimed that there was no evidence indicating that Sigel is a danger to his community, despite being accused of shooting a man and appearing in court for various assault and weapons charges. Sigel is currently in prison for shooting a man outside of a Philadelphia nightclub. Sigel and his lawyer said that Sigel was at the bar prior to the shooting and deny any involvement. Sigel was denied bail last month on separate assault charges stemming from an April 20th incident. The rapper is attempting to be released to finish his third solo album, The Becoming.
