District Attorney Not Pursuing Assault Charges Against Kanye
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues,
While he may be fighting with his Kim Kardashian as to whether or not their daughter North will appear on reality TV, Kanye West at least won't have to worry about facing assault charges anymore.
The Los Angeles District Attorney has decided not to go forward with prosecuting the "New Slaves" rapper over an alleged assault that occurred earlier in the month. Criminal defense attorney Troy Slaten - who is not involved in Kanye's case - speculated that this outcome could happen due to the fact that the alleged victim failed to show up for a follow-up interview with authorities: "If they don't have a cooperative victim, the case is harder to prosecute.

Chris Brown Accuses DA of Being Racist
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rants,
Chris Brown has branded the District Attorney in his court case a racist.
The R&B star took to Twitter last night after he was sentenced to 1,000 extra hours of community service earlier this month for submitting bogus reports for the 1,440 hours he was originally ordered to complete for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. "N***a done 6 months community service wit police and the DA racist ass crying to the judge that I didn't do it. F**k the SYSTEM! (sic)" Chris raged on the social networking site.
The 24-year-old hot-head went on to slam the American justice system for wasting so much time on his case when there are so many more pressing matters to solve: "How about y'all take care of all the homeless kids and families on skid row. Promote helping people that are really f***ed up in your city!"
Chris concluded, "Family first! The LAW ... last (sic)," before referring to his latest addition to his graffiti-sprayed car collection, quipping, "I paint pics of monsters because its a reflection of u bitcha*s n***as and this bitchass system! (sic)"
