Remy Ma was found guilty on two charges of assault today in Manhattan Supreme Court.
She faces up to 25 years if convicted on both counts.
The rapper, 26, wiped away tears as the verdict was read, then "wailed loudly and sobbed openly" as she left the courtroom in handcuffs, according to The Associated Press.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred last July when Remy and Makeda Barnes-Joseph argued after leaving a mutual acquaintance's birthday party. Remy Ma alleged Makeda stole several thousand dollars from her purse that night; Makeda was shot after the two struggled in her car. Remy Ma fled the scene in an SUV but crashed nearby. Neither the money nor the weapon have been found.
Sentencing for the case is scheduled for April 22.
Fisher maintains that he intends to file an appeal for his client immediately.
"The jury acquitted the second half of the indictment," he said, referring to the tampering and intimidation charges. "That will help the appeal because that evidence, those charges, shouldn't have been in the case to begin with. And there are other issues we think may turn the conviction around."
However, he conceded, "It's a bad day."
