Max B’s signature “wave” came to an end on Tuesday. The former Byrd Gang affiliate was convicted and taken into custody on 9 out of 11 felony charges related to the 2006 murder of David Taylor in a New Jersey hotel room. He will be sentenced next month. After the verdict was read, Max’s attorney Gerald Saluti released the following statement:
“Max B would like to first thank all his family, friends and fans that have supported him throughout this trial. Please don’t give up on him at this point. Although the jury has spoken and Max has been convicted of felony murder, kidnapping, robbery and conspiracy a swift and successful appeal shall follow. It is inconceivable that a jury would convict Max under the facts presented by the State. Even Gina Conway the State’s own witness testified that Max knew nothing of a robbery.Ms. Conway, a jilted lover and proven liar, said so at the trial itself. Max said after the verdict was read that he is confident that justice will eventually be served and he will be free. Max intends to continue putting out music for his fans while the appeal process grinds along. Although shocked by the verdict, Max remained grateful.”
So long, Max. We’ll be seeing you in about 8-10!
