Judge Dismisses Gang Conspiracy Charges Against Rapper Tiny Doo

A San Diego rapper said he'll soon be writing about the inside of a courtroom after a judge has dismissed conspiracy charges against him and another man prosecuted under a controversial law.

Brandon Duncan, who records under the name "Tiny Doo," and Aaron Harvey are two of 15 co-defendants charged in connection with nine shootings that took place in San Diego between May 2013 and February 2014, all linked to the Lincoln Park gang.

On Monday, a San Diego Superior Court judge decided there was not enough evidence to bring Duncan and Harvey to trial on conspiracy charges.

Duncan, 33, told NBC 7 his music is art and this case had much larger implications threatening the livelihood of countless other rap artists.

I take it 'I will defend your right to say it' doesn't apply to this case. It's been largely ignored.

I hope he sues for malicious prosecution. And some of us have been on this since day 1.
