Akon to Stand Trial Over Assault of 15 Year Old!
04 September 2008
Rapper Akon was back in court today following an incident back in June last year where he threw a young fan off the stage, with a judge deciding that Akon will stand trial in December and possibly face a jail sentence of more than one year!As we reported, the 15 year old fan from Orange County, California had thrown something onstage while Akon was performing. As a result, Akon was a bit unhappy and ended up picking the kid up and throwing him off the stage!
At the time, Akon tried to defend himself, saying that he wasn't involved in any criminal conduct.
Said Akon's lawyers: "We are pleased that Judge Epstein adjourned the case to a date certain for either a trial or a negotiated resolution. Akon looks forward to putting this incident behind him, and in the meantime he will continue to meet every requirement set forth by the Court."
When they say "negotiated resolution" they're talking a settlement - or a heap of $$$$ for the family. Or if he goes to trial and gets convicted he will spend AT LEAST 1 year in jail.
Settle!
