The rapper was acquitted on Monday [September 26] on attempted murder charges, for allegedly shooting Terrance Speller outside a strip club on a crowded street in 2003, according to The Associated Press.

right Since a jury deadlocked on the charges in 2004, a mistrial was declared. The retrial began last week after the rapper was released from jail on an unrelated weapons charge, stemming from a 2002 traffic stop in Philadelphia.

Speller said in court that he first told police he was shot during a robbery, but just a day later claimed he was shot by Sigel.

Next month, Sigel is scheduled to go to court once again, this time on assault charges; he allegedly broke a man's eye socket when he punched him during a January 2003 argument.
