Rapper The Game has pleaded not guilty to charges that he pretended to be a police officer and ordered a limo driver to speed through red lights following a Nov. 15th appearance on David Letterman’s show in New York.
An attorney for the artist, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, said the charges are false and that his client is the victim of police harassment.
"The police are harassing him," said the rapper’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman . "They don't even have a witness - no supporting deposition. It will be a slam-dunk acquittal or dismissal, it's up to the D.A.
"They offered us time served today and I didn't even lift my head to respond. It's an embarrassment for them. The cops follow him from the moment he lands to the moment he leaves. A limo driver freaked out, that's it. They are harassing him, but there will be some harassment going the other way at the trial."
