All Hip-Hop.com reports that Michael K. Williams, better known as ‘Omar’ from The Wire, appeared at a Brooklyn Federal Court to defend his ex-manager and friend James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond. Rosemond is accused of running a drug empire, shipping cocaine in musical cases:

Jurors began deliberating the fate of James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond today (June 4), as the music industry mogul’s federal cocaine distribution trial comes to a close.

Judge John Gleeson, who tried legendary gangster John Gotti, gave instructions to the jury, who listened intently after 12 days of controversial, blockbuster testimony.

Family and friends packed the court room as Rosemond sat calmly in a black pinstriped suit and listened to the instructions, with his hands clasped and folded.

Actor Michael K. Williams of “The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire,” came to court today to support Rosemond, with whom he grew up with in Brooklyn.
