The truculent rapper Foxy Brown will stay put â in jail â after Acting Justice Melissa C. Jackson of the New York State Supreme Court rejected her petition for early release to enable her to travel to California for an ear examination and repair of an electronic ear implant, The Associated Press reported. Ms. Brown, 29, right, whose real name is Inga Marchand, complained that her hearing problems were worsening in jail and that she faced serious harm unless her cochlear implant was repaired and reprogrammed. Prosecutors said she could get the treatment she needs in New York. She was sentenced in September to a year in jail for violating probation. She was put on probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault of two manicurists at a Manhattan nail salon in August 2004.
