Akon's court date for hurling a fan from the stage into the audience has been adjourned until March 5th, 2008 following an appeal by his lawyer to have it postponed.
The Senegalese singer is facing misdemeanor endangerment and harassment charges after throwing a teen fan from the stage during a June concert in Fishkill, NY. The boy was singled out for allegedly throwing an object onto the stage.
The teen landed on another concertgoer, who later claimed she had suffered a concussion. The entire incident was captured by cell phone cameras in the crowd and posted onto various online sites, including YouTube.
In December, Akon pleaded not guilty to charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment. His lawyer Benjamin Brafman successfully had his request to postpone the trial granted during a hearing Wednesday at Fishkill Town Court.
