Free. For Now.
Filed under: Legal Matters > Akon
Akon is getting one more month as a free man.
The criminal case against the singer has just been adjourned today until next month, on August 6th.
The case stems from last year's incident when a crazed Akon threw a 15 year-old fan off stage at the 2007 KFEST concert in June.
In December of last year, Akon plead not guilty to charges of second-degree harassment and endangering the welfare of a minor.
Currently, he could face 1 year and 15 days in jail if he gets convicted.
As for the boy's mother, Patricia Smith, she attended the case hearing this morning and called it "pretty typical."
She adds, "People can just hang in there long enough until the case goes in their favor."
True.
Do U think Akon should be held accountable?
No he shouldn't be held accountable. That dumbass teenager got what he deserved!
Re: Mary – Adults are supposed to know better. That's why the laws are different for adults & minors.The kid didn't throw him off the stage so what are you even talking about? When children are misbehaving in school and elsewhere, blame the A-hole parents. Kids learn what they are taught.
Hell yes!! To jail!! What about the innocent people he threw the kid onto? What a scum!
I WAS THERE, THE KID WAS AN ASSHOLE, HIM AND HIS FRIENDS WERE HECKLING PERFORMERS. AKON DID IT TO TEACH HIM A LESSON AND NOW WE HAVE SOME BITCH ASS PARENT FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK WHO THINKS HER FAMILY DESERVES JUSTICE AFTER HE KID FUCKED UP. SHE WANTS TO TALK TYPICAL? SHE IS THE TYPICAL PARENT FROM THIS AREA WHO THINKS THEIR KID CAN DO NO WRONG. THE KID SHOULD BE GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR ASSUALTING AKON WHEN HE THREW A BOTTLE AT HIM. THIS IS SO STUPID, K104 SHOULD BE EMBARASSED THEY LET KIDS LIKE THIS ONE IN THEIR CONCERTS. AKON, I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE DUMBASSES IN DUTCHESS COUNTY NEW YORK AND SURROUNDING TOWNS THAT ARE FULL OF PRICKS.
he should have beat that ole white boy down and maybe he would have stayed his white azz in his seat… jumping on stage !
I think the rules should be the same just like if you jump out on a football field you will get fucked up you have no right to be there on that field or stage.
I totally heard about this first, when it happened, KFEST is in my area!
OMG i was there!!!!
i didnt think it would be this big of the deal because the kid didnt make it into a big deal
hell nah.
that kids a cunt for throwing that when he was talking. and now he posted a youtube vid complaining that he's now "paralyzed from the waist down" then it cuts to a scene where he falls out of his chair and starts walking with his arms AND YOU CAN SEE HIS LEGS MOVING! kids a douchebag. he can go suck andy dicks dick.
yes rich ppl should be held responsible for their actions but if a fan throws something at akon during a concert then yes akon had the right to get pissed, it was his concert and that minor disrupted it unnessecarily like seriously he had it coming to him
