J Hus Gets 8 Months In Prison For Carrying A Knife

UK grime rap star, J Hus has been sentenced to jail for eight months for carrying a knife in a public place in London.

J Hus was arrested in June of this year at the Westfield Shopping Centre in East London for the suspected possession of a knife. He appeared in Snaresbrook crown court and denied the charge of “having a lock knife, without good reason or lawful authority”.

During the sentencing, J Hus apologized to the court and told the judge that he “fully accepted his actions were careless”. His lawyer also told the court that the defendant was suffering from “mild PTSD” after being stabbed himself and said he was currently seeing a therapist.

Judge Sandy Canavan added that this was the fourth time the rapper had been found carrying a knife in public and although he was a “role model to many”, he has “failed” to leave his past behind him. Between 2011 and 2016, the court has heard six previous convictions for 10 offenses from J Hus – including possession of a knife.
