In "I'm so glad the Feds didn't have a case against me, so now I can go about the business of trying to get some money from rapping, plus I'm still mad Jeezy blew before me" news, ATL rapper Gucci Mane was released from Georgia's Fulton County Jail on Monday [January 16] after serving time on assault charges, which were dropped due to lack of evidence.

Now that's the picture in the picture. Here's the big picture, Gucci Mane recently learned that he will not be tried for the May 10, 2005, shooting death of Henry Lee Clark III. More than six months after the Atlanta MC's indictment was handed down, the DeKalb County district attorney's office lacking sufficient evidence to try Mane, dropped the charges.

So what did really happen that night, Gucci? Here's the version Gucci's telling. Mane had been visiting a female friend the night of the shooting when four men - all of them dressed in black - burst into her Decatur apartment. The men assaulted Mane, a scuffle ensued, gunshots were fired and the men fled the scene. Clark's body was discovered several days later outside a nearby middle school.

Here's Gucci's lawyer, Dennis Scheib, on how he beat the murder charge: There wasn't enough evidence to meet the elements of murder. But the bottom line is, I had a witness who was standing outside [the apartment building when the incident occurred] trimming some hedges, who owned the condo, who articulated that these four men rushed into the place. Based on what he said and some other information, it came out that it was a self-defense situation. It was going to be either a robbery, an aggravated assault or a murder. [Mane] had a right to defend himself. [The prosecution] couldn't disprove self-defense. The district attorney didn't have a whole lot of choice but to dismiss it.

So what's the first thing you do when you beat a murder charge? Release new music. Fresh on the scene, Gucci is set release a new single, "Go Head," off his Trap House album. Word on the street is he's also planning a nationwide promotional tour behind the album, which he was unable to fully promote due to his incarceration. Oh really Gucci?

Here's some jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Gucci Mane being released from prison and beating a murder charge: He who knows does not speak. The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities. Go figure.
