LATEST: Rapper BUSTA RHYMES walked out of a New York courtroom today (08May07), after refusing to accept a plea deal which would have seen him serve 12 months in jail for assault and drink-driving charges.
Rhymes - real name Trevor Smith - was at Manhattan Criminal Court to stand trial for the alleged December (06) assault of his driver and an August (06) assault of a fan. He was also facing a driving under the influence (DUI) charge, after his arrest last week (03May07).
His lawyer rejected the plea deal proposed by the prosecution, which offered the rapper a one-year prison term, attendance of a drink-driving programme and a $1,500 fine, according to TMZ.com.
Rhymes is due back in court on 10 July (07).
