On the other hand, if he doesn’t survive, he’ll have more “street cred” and sell more records.

Legal issues
In 2002, Sigel was arrested and charged with a federal weapons charge in West Philadelphia. He would later serve a year in federal prison.
In January 2003, Sigel was arrested after a scuffle broke out where Sigel allegedly punched a 53-year-old man in the face, fracturing his eye socket.
Sigel turned himself in to Philadelphia police on July 3, 2003 and was charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing 6 shots from 9mm handgun at a club door, injuring two people. He was also charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and possession of a criminal instrument. Sigel’s first trial ended in a hung jury. A second trial resulted in a not guilty verdict.
In 2004, Sigel was convicted of federal weapons charges and sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison.
On May 25, 2006, Sigel was shot multiple times during a robbery in Philadelphia. He was able to flee the scene and drive himself to a local hospital. This was one month after being released from prison after serving a brief stint for child support charges.
Sigel was arrested on a drug possession charge while traveling to a concert in New Jersey on August 15, 2009. Police found nearly 50 grams of marijuana in his vehicle.
In 2010, Sigel was charged with three counts of failing to file tax returns on income of over $1 million between 2003–2005. Sigel pled guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 25 months in prison. He reported to prison on September 12, 2012.
On August 29, 2012, Sigel was arrested in Philadelphia on drug, weapons, and conspiracy charges after being pulled over by police. Officers found a fully loaded .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun inside the vehicle, as well as $4,500 in cash, unlabeled bottle of codeine cough syrup, and various pills.
Sigel began his 24-month sentence for failing to file tax returns at the Federal Detention Center, Philadelphia. Additionally, he was sentenced six to 23 months in county jail for illegal possession of prescription drugs, to be served concurrently with his federal sentence.
Sigel was released from Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill August 14, 2014 and was reported to be serving out the remainder of his sentence in a halfway house in Philadelphia.
He appears to be passed the stage of “turning his life around”.
An August 2014 BET article notes, “Friday morning, Sigel’s longtime lawyer, Fortunato N. Perri, confirmed with BET.com that the MC has been transferred to a Philadelphia halfway home, where he’ll serve the remainder of his sentence until early December.”
So apparently, he was only back on the street a couple of days.
Aspiring rapper?

Lord love us, what a mess of a city.
Their school system is a nightmare. In recent years the entire Board of Education was removed from office. Seems some were seen leaving the school with wide screen televisions purchased for the school.
Most of the parents who have the means, or the kids with athletic ability, transfer their kids to parochial high schools in the region.
Pleasantville is a little more pleasant now.
