Game: Not Guilty pleads not guilty to charges
Artist:
The Game
Jayceon Taylor has refused the opportunity to plead guilty for impersonating a police officer. Just in case you need a quick reminder of quite how this happened in the first place, allow us to remind you.
Game was leaving The Late Show with David Letterman on November 16 last year, when he jumped in a cab and apparently told the driver, Muhammed Butt, that he was an undercover police officer. Butt maintains that the Compton rapper told him to drive through traffic lights at high speed because he was a copper on a case. According to Taylor’s lawyer, (Mr Litchman) has insisted his client is innocent. Innocent goddamit. “Why should he plead guilty to bogus charges for a non-jail sentence, if he’s innocent… he is innocent. It’s rare that I have a 100 percent innocent defendant, but this one is.”
A spokesperson for the Manhattan’s D.A office explained that the LA rap star said nothing during proceedings. “He didn’t address the judge or say anything else.” The criminal offence of impersonating a police officer caries a year’s prison sentence.
Perhaps The Game’s alleged secret role-play stunt is him merely acting out a lewd fantasy? We suspect that he has been watching a little too much Starsky and Hutch or Cagney And Lacey perhaps.
Anyway, the trial continues in September and Litchman predicts the case will end in a dismissal or acquittal for The Game.
