Charges Dropped In Kanye West's Battery Case

So I guess the prison fairies were really on Kanye WestKanye West’s side this time. He can finally breathe easy because all charges against him stemming from an assault on a paparazzo at LAX Airport back in 2008, were dropped. Kanye was let off easy, only receiving 50 hours of community service for the American Red Cross. Initially Kanye was charged with eight misdemeanors including battery, vandalism and grand theft. Both he and his road manger were shown attacking a papparazi and destroying his camera on video. HipHopDX reports:

“According to the Los Angeles Times, court commissioner Mark Zuckerman sentenced West and his road manager Don Crowley to perform community service for the American Red Cross. TMZ.com reports that each was given 50 hours.”

Blair Berk, Kanye’s Lawyer, had this to say regarding the court’s decision:

“I am very pleased the court granted dismissal of all charges,” commented Ye’s lawyer, Blair Berk , to the Times.”

Well damn Kanye, was let off easy. You have to do more community service than that just to receive college credit. I guess that’s the just the life of the rich and the famous. I wonder if Kanye pulled a Taylor Swift on the judge during the hearing to say… “I’m a let you finish but…”

So far Kanye hasn’t commented on the recent update on this case. Well seems like he was in good favor with the prison fairies, let’s see what happens in Lil WayneLil Wayne’s case.
