Nicki Minaj’s Brother Trying To Get His Rape Case Tossed

The fate of Nicki Minaj’s brother, Jelani Maraj, has been postponed another month after his attorney petitioned to have the conviction thrown out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Although a judge has yet to rule on David Schwartz’s motion to toss the initial guilty verdict, Maraj faces up to life in prison for raping his then-11-year-old stepdaughter over a span of several months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

During the trial though, Schwartz argued that the young girl’s claims were made up by her mother in an attempt to extort his superstar sister for $25 million. However, despite the defense’s argument, a jury found Maraj guilty of predatory sexual assault and acting in a manner injurious to a child, Page Six reports. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But now, as Maraj awaits sentencing, his defense is pulling out all stops to get him off. As of now, a ruling has yet to be made on Maraj’s guilty verdict.
