What did McGee, Jr., mean?

Mike McGee's attorney says that the DA is confused about street language when he suggests that McGee's discussion of "peeling back" someone's "wig" refers to homicide.

Maybe. We know that "peeling back a cap" does refer to a head shot that disfigures by "peeling back" the cranium. We have, for example, Ice-T in the aptly titled "Peel Their Caps Back":

I'm a n***a on the trigger, madder than a pitbull
Just layin for a reason to pull
On you, any duck motherf***er that gets in my way
I'm insane, and my homeboy's death made me this way
But then we spot him, evil e shot him
Dead in the face, made sure that he got him
Others ran, but no mercy to the posse's wrath
Automatic uzi motherf***in bloodbath
Let's peel their caps back
Let's peel their caps back
Let's peel their caps back


Not too subtle.

Here, according to the paper, McGee, Jr. allegedly said "peel his wig back." That must be different. Maybe he was planning to play a practical joke on a bald guy?

McGee, Jr., also referred to "sewing his cap together;" perhaps a reference to a foray into neurosurgery.

I wish this really was funny.


Update: Jessica McBride, demonstrating the difference between a journalist and a lawyer, actually finds reference to "peeling back a wig."

  1. Urban Dictionary says the same thing about "peel a cap":

    "Wig" also appears to mean "One's head, dome, cranium!"

    Wow I would love to be the guy that cites the urban dictionary in court.

    Hello Everybody!

    I've been trying to figure out a good place to begin with the Acai Berry free trial & was just wanting to know if anybody had any opinions on whether or not it works for dieting? So far here's the only [url=http://acaiberrydetox.ndesignsblog.com/2010/03/12/get-to-know-acai-berry-free-samples/]article[/url] I've been able to read online that seemed real for what my goals are. Thoughts?
