(TX dept of public safety)... and guess what i found out.... you don't have to live in a Mexican Border town, or be a rich millionaire to get extorted... nope... all u have to do is get a moving violation on a public Texas road... anything from speeding, to your tail-light being out will cost u not just the fine amount issued by the county where the violation took place... but an additional DPS "Surcharge" fee. and since i was speeding 7 mph over the speed limit- my surcharge is $104 a year for 2 years for this... and remember this fee is per violation..... so i'm glad i only got pulled over once.... alot of u TX folks know about this bullshit... and u also know that if the violation is no insurance, or a DWI - these surcharges can go all the way up to $1,000 per offense... wow... so the next time u are in your car listening to the new Rick Ross song i'm about to put up, remember..... drive safe.... and take the fucking defensive driving course if u get a ticket... don't let the surcharge points add up....

Houston Rapper Gets 45-Year Sentence

2008-08-01T05:41:00.000-07:00

Prosecutors Asked For Life In Prison

HOUSTON -- A jury handed down a prison sentence of 45 years for Houston rapper Carlos Coy Thursday morning.

The same jury that convicted Coy, 31, who is known as "South Park Mexican," on May 18 of sexually assaulting the girl at his southeast Houston home back in September, reached its verdict shortly after 11am.

Coy was also sentenced to pay a $10,000 fine.

The rapper showed no emotion as Judge Mark Kent Ellis read him his sentence. He turned to his family and mouthed, 'I'll be all right.'

Then, Ellis asked him to approach the bench so that he could address him.

"Mr. Coy I have spent 17 years in this courthouse, and in that time I have seen more sex offenders than I wish to remember," Ellis said. "But one thing that I have found over (time) is that sex offenders have one trait in common, and that is that they all are liars -- and you are no exception to that rule."

Ellis told Coy that there was no excuse for his conduct, and that contrary to his testimony that he is also a victim in this case, because he is a rapper, that just isn't so.

"Well, the fact is that there is only one victim in this case, and it is a 9-year-old girl," Ellis said. "Now that is reality, and you need to deal with it.

"It's time for you to face the music," he said.

The sentence could have been a minimum of five years probation or a maximum of life in prison.

Prosecutors were hoping to send Coy to prison for life and brought in eight women who testified that they had sex with him when they were 12, 13 and 14 years old.

Defense attorney Chip Lewis maintained that his client was innocent, and that there was never any proof that Coy committed any of these crimes, just hearsay.

Despite objections by his attorney, Coy took the stand in his own defense Tuesday and testified that he never sexually assaulted the girl.

Coy said that the eight women who testified last week lied to the jury when they claimed that they had sex with him.

THE END OF AN ERA!

Jury Begins Deliberating Rapper's Fate

2008-07-29T07:25:00.000-07:00

Prosecutors Ask For Maximum Sentence

HOUSTON -- A jury began deliberating the fate of Houston rapper Carlos Coy Tuesday afternoon.

The same jury that convicted Coy, who is known as "South Park Mexican," on May 18 of sexually assaulting the girl at his southeast Houston home back in September, began deciding his punishment at about 11:30 a.m.

Coy faces a sentence of from five years probation to life in prison.

Prosecutors are hoping to send Coy to prison for life and brought in eight women who testified that they had sex with him when they were 12, 13 and 14 years old.

"He's a child molester who uses his rap music to attract young girls," prosecuting attorney Lisa Andrews said. "He's a threat to children, and that's what this higher range of punishment is designed for -- to protect younger children from men like Carlos Coy."

Defense attorney Chip Lewis said that his client is innocent, and that there was never any proof that Coy committed any of these crimes, just hearsay.

"No punishment is appropriate for him," Lewis said. "He didn't commit this crime. But if the jury is called, they're going to have to let down a sentence and a verdict of some type. The least severe of that sentence would be probation, and that's the last thing that I have asked them to do at this stage."

Despite objections by his attorney, Coy took the stand in his own defense Tuesday and testified that he never sexually assaulted the girl.

Coy said that the eight women who testified last week lied to the jury when they all claimed that they had sex with him.

Houston Rapper Takes The Stand

2008-07-25T07:39:00.000-07:00

Prosecutors To Cross-Examine Coy

HOUSTON -- Convicted Carlos Coy took the stand in his own defense Tuesday, addressing the jury that found him guilty of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl.

The same jury that convicted Coy, who is known as "South Park Mexican," on May 18 of sexually assaulting the girl at his southeast Houston home back in September, must now decide his punishment.

Coy testified that he never sexually assaulted the girl.

Defense attorneys urged Coy to not take the stand, but he insisted, according to officials.

Coy said on the stand that the eight women who testified last week lied to the jury when they all claimed that they had sex with him.

On cross-examination, prosecutors asked Coy about one of his alleged 14-year-old victims.

"When you dropped her off at junior high you didn't think she wasn't of age?" prosecutors asked Coy.

Coy testified, "No, I couldn't see the sign."

Prosecutors then asked, "You mean to tell me these girls are coming into court and committing perjury and lying about going to motels with you and having sexual relationships with you?"

Coy testified, "These girls are luring me. One of them and their mother were known as 'Lady and the Tramp.'"

"As he's told the jury several times, he's not a saint and he's not a perfect person and he's made some decisions in his life that he's learned from. Like you said, it may be bad judgment, but he explained exactly the situation from a truthful standpoint and I think the jury saw that," said Chip Lewis, Coy's attorney.

"South Park Mexican is not guilty of the crime that he's accused of. They've drug him through the dirt. They've drug everything they can possibly bring in on him. We believe the motive is money," said Sylvia Coy, the rapper's sister. "These people lie, cheat and steal for a living. They live off the welfare system and they make money off the workingman. I guess that's what they're teaching their children as well."

Coy faces a sentence from five years of probation to life in prison.

Prosecutors are hoping to send Coy to prison for life and have so far brought in eight women who testified that they had sex with him when they were 12, 13 and 14 years old.

Last week, some family, friends and fans of the rapper rallied with signs of support for him outside the courthouse.

Tempers Flare Outside Rapper's Trial

2008-07-22T08:52:00.000-07:00

Sentencing Phase Under Way

HOUSTON -- A heated argument broke out in downtown Houston Friday morning in front of the Harris County courthouse where the punishment phase of convicted rapper Carlos Coy was under way.

The fight involved two families. The family of the 9-year-old victim wants Coy to receive the maximum sentence, while Coy's family believes he was wrongfully convicted and should not be sent to prison.

Members of both families screamed at each other in front of shocked onlookers. The argument broke out shortly after the trial was dismissed for the weekend.

"We want to see justice done," said a victim's family member. "We want to see justice done."

Police rushed to the scene to break them apart.

Jurors convicted Coy, also known as the "South Park Mexican," on Saturday of sexually assaulting the girl at his southeast Houston home back in September.

Coy faces a sentence from five years' probation to life in prison.

Coy's wife testified Friday that they've had several girls at their home and that Coy never bothered them.

"I'm supporting him. I'm with him 100 percent, " said Gina Acosta, Coy's wife. "He says everything is going to be OK. After the next appeal, everything is going to be proven. He's innocent. There has been no evidence whatsoever -- only hearsay."

Prosecutors said that Coy is a child predator who deserves to be locked up.

During the punishment phase of the trial, eight women testified that they had sex with Coy when they were 12 years old, 13 years old and 14 years old.

On cross-examination, prosecutors asked Acosta if she was aware that her husband had sex with all of those girls.

She testified, "Yes, I'm aware. I've seen it all over the news."

Prosecutors then asked if she believed it.

She testified, "Absolutely not."

The sentencing phase in Coy's trial will continue Tuesday after a break for the Memorial Day holiday.

Defense attorneys have not decided whether to put Coy on the stand to testify on his own behalf.

State Psychologist: Rapper Should Be Locked Up

2008-07-16T11:39:00.000-07:00

Coy To Take Stand In His Own Defense

HOUSTON -- A state psychologist testified Thursday that convicted rapper Carlos Coy should receive a prison sentence after a jury found him guilty of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl.

The same jury that convicted Coy, who is known as "South Park Mexican," on Saturday of sexually assaulting the girl at his southeast Houston home back in September, must now decide his punishment.

Coy faces a sentence from five years' probation to life in prison.

State child psychologist Jennifer Welch said on the stand that she interviewed a young relative of Coy's whom she believes would have been his next victim.

"He laid on top of her, sucked on her nose and arm," Welch said. "She didn't like it. She didn't like beer on his breath, and would tell her mother. Her mother would then yell at him to stop."

Welch told the jurors that this type of behavior is consistent with grooming someone to be a victim of sexual assault.

During cross-examination, Coy's attorney Chip Lewis asked," You agree that based on all of the evidence you have reviewed on Carlos Coy, there is no proof he has ever been sexually abusive with this child?"

"There is no evidence, right," Welch said.

Lewis asked that if Coy's behavior of tickling and wrestling could be that he was just playing with the child.

Welch agreed.

Coy's family said that there is no proof of what Welch is claiming.

Prosecutors are hoping to send Coy to prison for life, and have so far brought in eight women who testified that they had sex with him when they were 12, 13 and 14 years of age.

Characters witnesses are expected to testify in Coy's behalf later Thursday.

Coy himself said that he will take the stand in his own defense.

Some family, friends and fans of the rapper rallied with signs of support for him outside the courthouse.

Women Testify Of Sex With Rapper As Young Girls

2008-07-15T07:04:00.000-07:00

Coy Faces Up To Life In Prison

HOUSTON -- A jury that convicted rapper Carlos Coy of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl must now decide his punishment, which could range from five years' probation to life in prison.

A 14-year-old girl testified Tuesday that she had sex with the rap musician back in February, when Coy was out on bond in the for which case he was just convicted.

The girl told jurors that she got Coy's telephone number from a friend, and then called him.

"He asked what I looked like, so I told him," she said. "Then he asked how old I was. I said, '14.'"

The girl said that Coy and his friends then came to pick up her and her friend at 3 a.m., and then drove them directly to a motel.

"Me and Carlos were kissing, and he gave me hickeys all over my neck as we drove to the motel," she said.

She testified that Coy's friend then got them a room, and then Coy gave the driver $100 and told him to come back in an hour.

"He started taking off his clothes," she said. "He asked me to take mine off, so I did, and we had intercourse."

On Monday, a young woman who gave birth at 14 to Coy's son testified Monday that the rap musician offered to marry her, but her parents did not approve.

"My family didn't want me to have anything to do with him," she said of Coy, 31, known professionally as the "South Park Mexican." It was her first sexual relationship, she said, and the couple neither used nor discussed birth control. At the time, he was about 22 and she was 13.

Asked by prosecutor Lisa Andrews if Coy knew her age at the time, the woman said she wasn't sure. But she said he sometimes picked her up at the intermediate school where she attended seventh grade.

Although the woman sued Coy two years ago for $28,000 in back child support, she said Coy had provided for her financially and emotionally since their son was born. "If I needed something, he would get it. Whenever I needed something, he was there for me and my son."

The woman are two of eight claiming Coy sexually assaulted them. Four of the women testified Monday in the punishment phase of Coy's trial.

The jury convicted Coy on Saturday of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl at his southeast Houston home over Labor Day weekend. Jurors, who were sequestered Friday night in a hotel, deliberated about seven hours over two days before reaching the verdict.

Another woman testified Monday that she was 12 when she first had sex with Coy. Although she initially told police she was 14, she testified Monday that she changed her mind about the date after thinking about it.

In answer to a question by Coy's attorney, Chip Lewis, the woman said she felt no animosity toward Coy after they stopped seeing each other.

Also a girl testified that she had sex with Coy several times at age 14 at Dope House Records, the Center Street recording studio the rapper co-founded in 1995.

The girl that Coy was convicted of assaulting is now 10. She testified last week that at one point she didn't remember what happened and that she could have dreamed Coy touched her inappropriately. She later said the incident was real.

The girl told jurors she went to Coy's house to spend the night with his 6-year-old daughter. As the children were playing in an upstairs bedroom, Coy told them to watch a movie, the girl testified.

The girls and Coy were on the bed watching the movie, she said, when Coy put his hand under the blanket and rubbed her buttocks for about five minutes. Later, she said, Coy came into the bedroom where she was staying, sat on the bed and touched her genital area.

Coy's attorney, Chip Lewis, showed jurors portions of movies which the girl had watched, including: "Scream," "Scream 2" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

He also showed portions of "Scary Movie" and "Scary Movie Part 2," which Lewis said depicted the sexual acts the girl had alleged against his client.

"The principle is that a child who is not sure if (the alleged act) was a dream or reality has got to get the idea from somewhere," Lewis said. "It's fairly easy to draw an inference from the fact she was exposed to such violent, graphic sexual material."

Jury To Decide Houston Rapper's Fate

2008-07-14T07:56:00.000-07:00

Officer Testifies Coy Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Others

HOUSTON -- A Houston jury could decide Monday the fate of convicted rap musician
Carlos Coy, as they begin considering evidence in the sentencing portion of his trial.
A jury on Saturday convicted Coy, who is known as "South Park Mexican," of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl who spent the night at his home last September.

Coy, 31, faces up to life in prison based upon the conviction of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

A police officer testified Monday that she has interviewed and has proof that accuses Coy of sexually assaulting eight other girls, ranging in age from 12 to 14 years old.

The officer testified that one of the girls alleges that she had Coy's baby.

Some of these other alleged victims are expected to also testify.

State District Judge Mark Kent Ellis required jurors to continue their deliberations Saturday after they received the case on Friday. The jury spent a total of eight hours deliberating before returning the guilty verdict.

The girl, now 10, testified at one point that she didn't remember what happened and that she could have dreamed Coy touched her inappropriately. She later said the incident was real.

"By her testimony itself, we've proved the case," prosecutor Lisa Andrews told jurors during closing arguments Friday. "She's credible."

The girl told jurors she went to Coy's house to spend the night with his 6-year-old daughter. As the children were playing in an upstairs bedroom, Coy told them to watch a movie, the girl testified.

The girls and Coy were on the bed watching the movie, she said, when Coy put his hand under the blanket and rubbed her buttocks for about five minutes. Later, she said, Coy came into the bedroom where she was staying, sat on the bed and touched her genital area.

Coy's attorney, Chip Lewis, showed jurors portions of movies which the girl had watched, including: "Scream," "Scream 2" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

He also showed portions of "Scary Movie" and "Scary Movie Part 2," which Lewis said depicted the sexual acts the girl had alleged against his client.

"The principle is that a child who is not sure if (the alleged act) was a dream or reality has got to get the idea from somewhere," Lewis said. "It's fairly easy to draw an inference from the fact she was exposed to such violent, graphic sexual material."

Coy, who co-founded Houston-based Dope House Records, remains jailed without bail in Harris County. His latest album, Reveille Park, was released this month.
