A three-year probationary term is also imposed on Lee Mouat.
It has been announced that Lee James Mouat was sentenced to prison for attacking a Black teen. Earlier this week (July 8), a U.S. According to a District Court judge, the white 43-year-old defendant will serve five years in prison and three years of probation.
Last June, Lee Mouat observed Devin Freelon and some friends at Sterling State Park in Detroit playing loud music and confronted them about the volume. Racial slurs were thrown, for example, “Black lives don’t matter” and “Ni**ers don’t belong on this beach,” then he left the premises, later returning with a bike lock to attack Freelon.
In the course of the attack, he knocked out three of the teenager’s teeth before hitting one of his friends. The young man also suffered a broken jaw and injuries to his face and mouth in addition to his missing teeth. Several dental procedures were carried out in the local hospital following his treatment of cuts.
The difficulty of seeing your son every day without teeth, especially when he is only 19 years old, Devin Freelon Sr. previously told NBC affiliate WDIV-TV. It’s something that no one should experience.
Lee Mouat admitted to being motivated by race when he committed an act of bodily harm against a victim in March and pleaded guilty to willful causing bodily injury. According to the plea deal terms, the 43-year-old was initially facing up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. As a result of his sentencing announcement, he learned that he would serve half of his time in prison.
Deputy U.S. Attorney Saima Mohsin called Lee Mouat’s behavior “disturbing” for his cowardly and unprovoked attack on the victim. The right of every citizen to live without fear of violence or attack based solely upon his or her skin color must be taken seriously.”

The humbled spitta’ has not only continued to deliver new stories, instill more morals and paint more pictures, he was able to collaborate with some like minded souls to deliver classics.
“Here For It” featuring Wil Guice has the award winning sound Philadelphia is known for. Incorporating the soul and Hip-hop with a message to uplift, you can’t be more Brotherly Love than that. Then following with a vibe that takes me back to Wu-Tang, Mos Def, Talib Kweli vibes with “Get Busy on Em” featuring Teef. The simple but catchy instrumental that puts you on a New York Subway, then the bars that blend that make you feel like you got off on some hundred and Lennox ave. Dell-P hands down has Hip-hop mastered and if the fore fathers were looking to pass the torch bring it back to Philly.
“Karma” one of my favorite records on the project for sure. The story telling ability he has is unflawed and has me anticipating the visual production. I see this being one of the stand out records that really capture the mind, ears and hearts of the people. With features from Trazsh Man, Wil Guice, Teef, Tracey Lee, MC Knowledge, Jay Reezy, Zone Boy Mir, 4evertaylormade and Wise intelligent made for a great collective of outstanding music.

In preparation for his Verzuz showdown against Bow Wow, Soulja Boy just upped the stakes. They have been trolling one another on social media since they announced their battle, but Soulja stepped it up another notch.
Soulja Boy and BOW battle on social media
In an Instagram clip posted Thursday (June 3), Soulja showed off his bright red Lamborghini. “If you win the Verzuz, I’ll give you the keys to my Lambo,” Soulja said. The odds are 100 to 1 that you won’t get the Lambo yet. It’s still the same Lambo for me. A shitload of cash bought me my shit. You can call me the owner. Let’s not play with me anymore, Bow Wow. Lamborghini is no longer yours!”
Tweeted Bow, “I don’t want that a** old lambo.”. Those are the same lambos we had as kids. You just wrapped it, it use[d] to be orange. 300,000 miles have been put on that car. It’s cool with me.”
Among several jokes, Bow called Soulja’s car a CD player, making fun of its age.
Soulja Boy and BOW WOW jokingly beef on social media and hype up the impending battle
Ima beat the mans ass just off my 1st album! In another tweet, he said the same. The NI**A MR COLLIPARK found you. SNOOP and SUGIE KNIGHT found me. There are significant differences between us.”
Since their respective Verzuz announcements, Bow and Verzuz have roasted each other, but she assured a fan it is all love.
The award was created by Ava DuVernay and Google as part of a new partnership for the launch of ARRAY, her multi-platform media company, and arts collective. The grant is specifically dedicated to supporting emerging filmmakers of color.
In a statement, Ava DuVernay said, “I’ve always started my films by self-funding. So it’s a full-circle moment.” I want to identify a new writer/director and work with Google and the grant advisory committee of ARRAY to make their vision a reality. The mission of ARRAY is to create inclusive stories, and we’re happy to also give grantees access to ARRAY Crew so that their film may integrate the world around them into its set.
She hopes the Array/Google Feature Film Grant will help the next woman filmmaker create her first feature film and create a supportive community of diverse storytelling.
According to Ava DuVernay, the purpose of the project is to amplify the voices of black, brown, and women of all backgrounds. Being in a position to award a filmmaker a half-million dollars ten years after starting out with a $50,000 film is a full-circle moment.
DuVernay’s new grant is the result of conversations between the tech giant and DuVernay in which Google pitched the idea of making a huge splash for up-and-coming entertainment creators.
In order for the grant to be given, both parties had to agree that in order to create something extraordinary, filmmakers from underrepresented backgrounds needed tools.
Advisory committees in the independent filmmaking community will select the winner of the grant, Deadline reports. DuVernay will then fund their production with the help of her digital database Array Crew, which utilizes Ava DuVernay’s diversity to offer hiring managers access to underrepresented film and TV professionals.
The director of entertainment partnerships for Google Assistant, Elle Roth-Brunet, said she was honored to help ARRAY display the talents of underrepresented artists. AARRAY and Google Feature Film Grants are in line with the commitment of Google Assistant to being helpful to people in their everyday lives.
This fellowship is part of a collaboration between Google and The Black List for diverse screenwriters.
