"I'm still on probation from the situation I dealt with about six, seven years ago," Cass told Cosmic Kev in an interview. "[Me living in New Jersey,] that's why the police bought the whole SWAT team...I wasn't even sure what I was charged with. they bringing the whole SWAT team out, they talkin' about I'm on maximum security, I'm armed and dangerous -- I didn't even know what I was goin' down for. I was confused and if I know if I was confused the people in the streets were definitely confused." (Cosmic Kev)


I was really shocked when i heard the first news, because i can remember when he caught that murder case like 6 years ago, and they were talking "life imprisonment" for him, but he was able to reduce the sentence.
