G-Dep granted temporary prison release to attend funeral

Rapper G-DEP reunited with his ex-wife and twin sons earlier this week (beg13Apr15) after he was granted a temporary release from prison to attend his father’s funeral.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former protege was sentenced to 15 years to life behind bars in 2011 after confessing to the 1993 shooting of John Henkel. G-Dep, real name Trevell Coleman, was not aware Henkel died following the shooting.
Earlier this week (begs13Apr15), Coleman was allowed to attend his father’s funeral and briefly reunite with his ex-wife, Crystal Sutton, and twin sons.
Speaking about the difficult reunion, Sutton tells AllHipHop.com, “When someone passes, you feel a great sadness or it could be relief, if they were suffering. Dep’s father’s passing was sadly overshadowed by the excitement we felt.
“Dep has not seen his sons in a little over four years. Yes, he calls regularly and he sees pictures of them growing, but being in their presence, the same room, next to each other is such a different feel.
“The days leading up to his arrival were stressful for me. I didn’t eat, I could hardly sleep. I was on a mission, the boys had to see their father and nothing could interfere, sadly and I do feel bad for this, not even the death of his father, William Butch Goines…”
She continues, “I’ve explained to them hundreds of times, ‘Your father made a fatal judgement when he was young, but he wanted and needed forgiveness and peace’. It’s not easy explaining to them, when all they have are the good memories. I never want to take that from them.
“All I could do was hope and pray that seeing him in shackles, hands held close to his waist, that those (old) memories would not fade from their minds.”
