Busta Rhymes got the ultimate deal yesterday in Manhattan Criminal Court in exchange for three years’ probation and 10 days of community service, he pleaded guilty to assaulting his former driver and a fan. He was also ordered to pay a $1,510 fine for DWI and driving with a suspended license. His ass will be able to do his community service at a private, court-approved location. Judge Larry Stephen granted Busta the plea deal, but prosecutors wanted his ass to spend one year in the pen. Busta’s defense lawyers argued that Busta really didn’t hurt anyone because neither of his victims suffered “significant injuries”. Here’s what Busta had to say about the justice system…he’s damn near glorifying it.
“I just wanted to say that I’m very grateful to the judge. I am very grateful to the system. I believe in the system. It hasn’t failed me personally yet. “I’m just glad that all of this stuff is behind me, so I can get back to doing what I do best, making great music and great films and being a people person.”
Funny how he believes in a system which specifically targets males of his own race. I guess I would too if I repeatedly got let off. But sooner or later he’ll be biting his words when the Hip-Hop police finally get their chance to lock his ass up!
