Akon Stands Trial
Remember back in June 2007 when Akon threw a 15-year old concertgoer off the stage in a misguided display of machismo? Well, a judge has decided that the singer will stand trial in December. He’s likely to face up to one year and 15 days in jail if he gets convicted. But he can opt to pay up and settle out of court if he thinks he’s odds of going to jail are great. Akon’s reps issued a statement saying “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.”
