It’s been months since “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Apollo Nida pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud and now he’s just a day away from being sentenced for his crimes on July 8. But according to a new report, Nida is desperately trying to get his sentence reduced and he recently asked a judge to lower his criminal history category


According to RadarOnline, Nida could face up to 30 years in jail for his crimes, especially since he’s been in prison before. However, Nida’s lawyers recently requested the Atlanta district court to change his status from Criminal History Category V to Criminal History Category IV in an effort to reduce his sentence.


“A criminal history category of V substantially overstates the seriousness of Mr. Nida’s criminal past, thus warranting a departure from the Guidelines range,” his attorneys stated in July 3 documents, citing Nida’s history of three probation revocations, driving under the influence, and giving a false name to law enforcement.

“Mr. Nida’s lengthy but early small-time criminal history is simply not in the same league as the ‘violent offenders, drug kingpins and perpetrators of far more serious offenses’ that Criminal History Category V was designed to address,” his attorneys added.


Nida will have to wait until tomorrow to find out if his request worked but it appears that Nida has been worrying about his case on his own because sources say that his wife, Phaedra Parks, has been busy vacationing with her girlfriends, including Fantasia, in Mexico.

Nida, however, has previously said that he and Parks are still committed to each other.

“We’re working to make it better,” Nida told Radar of his marriage.

Well, either way you look at it, things aren’t looking too good for Nida but we’ll have to wait till tomorrow to find out what his fate is. Hopefully, his bad decisions won’t cost him three decades of the rest of his life in prison, away from his family. – nicholas robinson
