Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda is going to have to sit tight a few months longer than expected after having a publicized weapons case delayed through this spring.

According to reports, Shmurda February 22 court date has now been pushed back to May 11.

The change in date was confirmed to XXL by Kati Cornell, New York’s Director of Public Information at the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor. Judge Abraham Clott, who is presiding over the case, has decided to try all of the defendants separately, which was the previous judge’s plan until he left in January (Shmurda was arrested along with several affiliates of his GS9 crew on December 17 2014) (The FADER)

Last month, Shmurda’s legal team received a tough break during a court appearance.

Bobby Shmurda was denied bail today by New York City judge Abraham Clott. Judge Clott told the court that he sees “no substantive change” in Shmurda and is “satisfied that the case is extraordinarily serious.” Shmurda’s attorney Alex Spiro told The FADER that the rapper and his family are “frustrated” and have been raising questions regarding why he isn’t being helped.

Bobby appeared in court last month and his lawyer requested a new bail hearing.

During the hearing, Pollard’s lawyer Alex Spiro, of the law firm Branfman & Associates, requested a new bail hearing, which Judge James Burke set for Tuesday, January 19. Spiro also pressed for the complete file of incident reports regarding every one of Pollard’s stops and arrests, as well as background files on the officers involved, to be put into discovery. “Absence of evidence [recovered during these stops] is evidence,” he explained, further alleging that the officers involved in the “seminal” moment of Pollard’s case have “burdensome files” that may include Fourth Amendment violations, false arrests, and more.

Buzz about the New York native possibly being released on bail surfaced in early December.

Bobby Shmurda finally has a slight glimmer of hope — his legal team has a plan to spring the rapper from jail as early as Thursday. Sources close to the case tell TMZ … Shmurda’s family has stepped forward to offer up collateral for his $2 million bond. Most notably, Bobby’s aunt has put several properties on the line to help set the rapper free. We’re told the family has been working closely with NY bondsman Ira Judelson. (TMZ)
