It went off by accident. Lawyer said.
March 31, 2008 -- There's no proof it was my gun. And even if was, it went off by accident.
That's the story Remy Ma hopes a Manhattan jury will buy as deliberations begin today in a near-fatal Meatpacking District shooting that could put the internationally known rapper behind bars for 25 years.
Jurors heard impassioned closing arguments on both sides yesterday, as the three-week trial drew to a close in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Remy's lawyer suggested that the gun could have belonged to the victim - Makeda Barnes-Joseph, a 24-year-old office worker from The Bronx who insisted on the stand that the rapper shot her in the stomach in cold blood, as they sat in a car arguing over $3,000 in missing cash.
Only two witnesses have testified that Remy held a gun as she got into Barnes-Joseph's car on Washington Street that July 2007 night, defense lawyer Ivan Fisher pointed out. One was Barnes-Joseph's very close buddy, 22-year-old Oluwole Ojudun, and the other was Barnes-Joseph herself, whom Fisher accuses of concocting a "Remy shot me" story to bolster a $20 million lawsuit against the rapper.
But Remy did everything a person needs to intentionally fire the weapon, countered prosecutor Michael McIntosh - including loading it with hollow-point bullets, racking the slide, pointing it at her victim and pulling the trigger.

"Do you believe in life after death?" the boss asked one of his employees."Yes, sir," the clerk
replied."That's good," the boss said. "After you left early yesterday to go to your grandmother's
funeral, she stopped in to see you."

The Shop's Joke of The Day
It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admittance policy. The new law was that in order to get into Heaven, you had to have a really bad day on the day that you died. The policy would go into effect at noon the next day.
So, the next day at 12:01 the first person came to the gates of Heaven. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, promptly asked the man, "Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going when you died."
"No problem, the man said. "I came home to my 25th-floor apartment on my lunch hour and caught my wife half naked and I was sure she was having an affair. But her lover was nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife was half naked and yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment.
Just as I was about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the balcony and noticed that there was a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! The nerve of that guy!
Well, I ran out onto the balcony and stomped on his fingers until he fell to the ground.
But wouldn't you know it, he landed in some trees and bushes that broke his fall and he didn't die. This ticked me off even more. In a rage, I went back inside to get the first heavy thing I could get my hands on to throw at him.
Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of was the refrigerator. I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony, and tipped it over the side. It plummeted 25 stories and crushed him!
The excitement of the moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died almost instantly."
The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy did have a bad day. It was a crime of passion. So, the Angel announced, "OK, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of ;Heaven," and let him in.
A few seconds later the next guy came up. To the Angel's surprise, it was Donald Trump.
"Mr. Trump, before I can let you in, I need to hear about what your day was like when you died."
Trump said, "No problem. But you're not going to believe this. I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure so I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I guess I got a little carried away, slipped, and accidentally fell over the side!
Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But all of a sudden this crazy man comes running out of his apartment, starts cursing, and stomps on my fingers. Well, of course I fell. I hit some trees and bushes at the bottom, which broke my fall, so I didn't die right away.
As I'm laying there face up on the ground , unable to move and in excruciating pain, I see this guy push his refrigerator of all thing s off the balcony. It falls the 25 floors and lands on top of me, killing me instantly."
The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as Trump finishes his story. "I could get used to this new policy," he thinks to himself. "Very well," the Angel announces. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he lets Trump enter.
A few seconds later, Bill Clinton comes up to the gate. The Angel is almost too shocked to speak. Thoughts of assassination and war pour through the Angel's head. Finally he says, "Mr. President, please tell me what it was like the day you died."
Clinton says, "OK, picture this. I'm naked, inside a refrigerator......
