Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine may go into witness protection after testifying against fellow gang members
As a part of the plea deal, the 22-year-old has agreed to testify against fellow gang members and revealed his involvement in numerous crimes.
'Fefe' hitmaker Tekashi 6ix9ine could walk away with a significantly smaller jail term than the mooted 47-year sentence he was facing for pleading guilty to nine charges, including conspiracy to murder and armed robbery, after he struck a plea deal with prosecutors and agreed to testify against fellow gang members. He could also be placed into witness protection.
Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested on November 18, 2018, along with three of his associates, and charged with federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and firearms charges, and faced life in prison if convicted.
