Young Buck's day in court pushed back again
Young Buck's court date, stemming from last year's Vibe Awards stabbing, has reportedly been pushed back by over three weeks.
Buck's court date was initially slated for this past Monday, but has now been rescheduled to a May date. This marks the second time Buck's court date has been postponed. The court date was first set for March before being delayed to April 18th.
The Ten-A-Key emcee has pleaded not guilty to stabbing Jimmy James Johnson during a melee at the Vibe Awards in Santa Monica last November. A mass brawl ensued after Johnson asked Dr. Dre for an autograph only to sucker punch the producer. The incident took place just moments before Dre was to take the stage to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
In January, Johnson allegedly confessed to Santa Monica Police that Suge Knight paid him to assault Dre. Johnson agreed to the deal in exchange for Suge forgiving the debt of Johnson's brother and a $5,000 cash payment.
Knight's lawyer denied the allegation through a statement saying, "there is absolutely no truth to it. I am so confident that there is no issue."
Police had been investigating a possible link between Johnson and Suge Knight. There's been bad blood between Knight and Dre since the producer left Death Row Records in the mid '90s. Despite not being invited, Knight was in attendance the night of the awards, and sat a few seats behind Dre. Authorities claimed his appearance was a violation of his parole since Dre obtained a restraining order against Knight in 2001.
Currently, Buck is free on bail and faces 8 years in prison if convicted.
