Rapper Remy hopes fans will help in shooting case

A statement posted prominently on Remy Ma’s MySpace page asks visitors to write letters about how the rapper and her music have “positively affected you, influenced you, inspired you, etc. ... in hopes that the judge will be lenient.”

It provides a special e-mail address for anyone inclined to do so.

Remy Ma is being held without bail until her sentencing, set for April 23. She faces up to 25 years in prison.

The 26-year-old performer, whose real name is Remy Smith, was convicted Thursday of assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion. Her lawyer has said the rapper plans to appeal.
