Irv Gotti A No-Show In Court

The Associated Press reports rap mogul Irv Gotti and his attorney failed to appear Tuesday in Alameda County Superior Court for Gotti’s arraignment on a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance, authorities said. Prosecutors were unable to contact Gotti’s attorney, Dennis Roberts, who’d said he was going to appear on his client’s behalf because Gotti lives in New York.
