Bobby Shmurda has been locked behind bars since December 17th of last year, and while much of the public focus has been on his label not helping to bail him out, a few people are actually speaking up for Shmurda's character, and whether or not he actually deserves to be locked up.

Shmurda, real name Ackquille Pollard, and his GS9 crew are facing several serious charges. Pollard's mother, Leslie Pollard, claims the police have been targeting her son and other young black men in their neighborhood. She also denies Shmurda is the head of any gang, and calls GS9 "her babies."
