Lil' Kim's court date set

CMU reports on Lil' Kim's woes:

Confirmation yesterday that rapper Lil' Kim will be in court on 15 Nov to face those perjury charges. As previously reported, Kim was charged last week over allegations she lied during a Grand Jury investigation into a shooting which took place outside a Manhattan radio station in 2001, shortly after Kim had been interviewed at the station. The actual charges include one count of conspiracy, three counts of perjury, three counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction - the last of which could lead to ten years in prison.

The rapper's lawyer once again stressed his client's innocence, telling reporters: "Kim is not a criminal. These charges have been extracted out of context, magnified out of proportion. She's been singled out and used because of who she is in the music industry."

In the meantime Kim's legal people will try to have her case separated from that of her former manager Damion Butler and bodyguard Suif Jackson. They were also arrested last week accused of lying to the Grand Jury - however they are also suspected of being involved in the shooting (it is that involvement that Kim allegedly lied about), so the rapper's legal people reckon their charges should be dealt with separately.

Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
