        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Manhattan federal court judge on Wednesday <strong>denied rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine’s bid</strong> to finish his prison sentence in home confinement amid coronavirus fears, according to court papers.</p><p>Judge Paul Engelmayer shot down <strong>Tekashi’s</strong> request — but added that if the coronavirus outbreak was apparent prior to his sentencing, he would’ve ordered the end of his term to be served at home.</p><p>Tekashi, real name Daniel Hernandez, argued in a letter this week that his health is at risk in prison during the coronavirus outbreak because he suffers from asthma.</p><p>“At the time of sentencing … the Court did not know and could not have known that the final four months of Mr. Hernandez’s sentence would be served at a time of a worldwide pandemic to which persons with asthma, like Mr. Hernandez, have heightened vulnerability,” Judge Engelmayer wrote in his opinion Wednesday.</p><p>“Had the Court known that sentencing Mr. Hernandez to serve the final four months of his term in a federal prison would have exposed him to a heightened health risk, the Court would have directed that these four months be served instead in home confinement,” he added.</p><p>The judge added that he could not intervene in Tekashi’s prison term because those matters are typically handled by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.</p><p>Lawyers for the rapper claimed he is at high risk of dying from the coronavirus and already suffering from “shortness of breath” in their effort to get him released.</p><p>The rapper — <strong>who pleaded guilty to racketeering</strong> and other charges — had faced decades in prison before flipping on his former crew and turning government witness.</p><p>He was sentenced in December to two years in prison — and is already due to get out early, with his release date now July 31, his attorney wrote.</p>]]></content:encoded>
