Did superstar rap artist Stanley "Flesh-N-Bone" Howse point a loaded AK-47 at someone last December after a dispute over a woman? A possible 19-year prison sentence for the Grammy Award-winning rapper, who is charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm, may depend on the answer. When jurors begin their deliberations in Van Nuys Superior Court today, they must mull over contradictory accounts of Howse's actions provided by two witnesses who happen to be brothers.

Stanley "Flesh-N-Bone" Howse and his Grammy Award-winning rap group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, wasted little time ascending to the first rank of popular music artists after setting up shop in Los Angeles in 1993. Howse, 27, also was soon busy compiling a more dubious record: seven convictions, most for violent crimes, according to court documents.

Best-selling, Grammy award-winning rapper Stanley "Flesh-N-Bone" Howse never threatened a man with an AK-47 semiautomatic assault rifle, as police allege, the victim testified Monday. It was the first day of Howse's trial in Van Nuys Superior Court, three months after his fourth album hit No. 2 on pop music charts and sold 280,000 copies during its first week in stores. Howse, 27, who has a long arrest record, faces a maximum of 19 years and eight months in prison, if convicted.
