Young Buck Pleads Not Guilty In Vibe Awards Stabbing
OS ANGELES — Young Buck scored a major legal victory on Monday, when a charge of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the melee at last year’s
Vibe Awards was dropped in exchange for a guilty plea of a lesser charge.
The G-Unit rapper, whose real name is David Darnell Brown, pleaded no contest to assault with a chance to produce bodily injury and was sentenced to three years of felony probation and 80 hours of community service, but no prison term.
The deal, which Buck’s attorney, Scott Leemon, leaked last week (see
“Young Buck Strikes Deal With Prosecutors In Vibe Awards Case” ), comes just weeks before the trial was supposed to begin.
“What we’ll tell you now is what we didn’t tell anyone back then,” a cheerful Leemon said outside the courthouse. “If you remember that first day [at Buck’s arraignment in January], I told you pictures may be deceiving. Guess what? Pictures were deceiving. We knew that day in Buck’s hand was a fork. He did not have a knife, he did not cause the injury and what we were able to prove by DNA evidence, by video analysis, is actually he did not do the stabbing.”
Leemon’s co-council, Lenny Levine, said a knife found on the scene at the
Vibe Awards with victim Jimmy James Johnson’s blood on it also had DNA from sweat that did not match Buck’s. Video analysis conducted by the rapper’s defense team also showed a fork in the rapper’s hand.
“The allegation was that he used a knife and caused injury — that was dismissed,” Levine said. “What he did admit to doing was having a fork and getting involved in some action with Mr. Johnson. He didn’t cause any injury, he didn’t stab him, but he had the fork. He takes responsibility for that, it was wrong, and he wants to move on now.”
“I’m glad to get the situation over with so I can get right back out here and make good music,” said Young Buck, who hugged his attorneys as he left the courtroom. “Look out for my new album, it’s gonna be in stores summertime of ’06,
Bad Influence, and you can hear all about the situation. G-Unit!”
In June, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office ordered Buck to stand trial (see
“Young Buck Must Stand Trial For Vibe Awards Stabbing” ); Monday was originally supposed to be the day to set the start of the jury trial, which was expected to begin in early 2006.
