Master P and Silkk the Shocker Face Trial on Felony Gun Charges

Master P (Percy Miller), the No Limit Records mogul, appeared in a Los Angeles court on Monday, standing trial on weapons charges along with younger brother Silkk the Shocker (Vyshonne King Miller).

The charges stem from their arrests on January 27, 2005 by campus police at the University of California in Los Angeles, where two guns were found in Master P's car after being pulled over for missing both license plates.

Master P and Silkk each face one felony count of carrying an unregistered and loaded gun and according to Superior Court Judge Joseph Biderman, there was enough evidence against both men to precede with a formal criminal trial. Currently free on bail, each faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison if convicted. They are scheduled to return to court March 13.

Corey Miller, a.k.a. C-Murder and another brother, filed a motion last week with the Louisiana Supreme Court seeking a reversal of his second-degree murder conviction pertaining to a 2003 shooting. The court's ruling is still unknown.
