Kanye's Case Delayed

Kanye West's arraignment on misdemeanor assault charges has been delayed, giving Kanye and his lawyers another month to prepare.
According to the Associated Press, a Los Angeles judge granted a delay in Kanye's case, giving him until May 20 to enter a plea.
He was scheduled to be arraigned on 3 misdemeanor chrges filed as result of a scuffle with a paparazzo at LAX in September 2008, which was caught on tape by TMZ.
In TMZ's clip, Kanye's road manager Don C. was seen grabbing the camera of a TMZ photographer and throwing it, while Kanye himself snatched the flash attachment and smashed it on the floor.
Kanye was charged with misdemeanor counts of vandalism, battery and grand theft, while Don C. (real name: Don Crowley) was hit with two counts of vandalism, two counts of grand theft and two counts of battery. If convicted on all counts, Kanye could face up to two years and six months in jail, while Crowley could face up to five years in jail.
Both Kanye and Don C. are free on bond, pending their next court date.

Kanye's attorney, Blair Berk, told a court commissioner that Monday (April 13) was the first time she had been allowed to review the police report and she is waiting for prosecutors to turn over any additional evidence they have.
