================================================================================
CMU on 25 March, 2008
 
The rap star, real name Trevor Smith, was  accused and convicted of assaulting a
fan in August 2006, assaulting his former  driver in December 2006, two driving
charges, and a weapons possession charge.  In addition to the probation, he will
perform ten days community service, pay a  fine of $1250 plus court costs and
enrol on a drunk drivers course. The judge in  the case, Larry Stephen warned
the hip-hopper that he'd end up in the klink if  he didn't stick to the straight
and narrow, however, telling him: "If you mess  up, you're going to jail. I've
given you a chance".
Outside the courtroom, Rhymes told reporters:  "I have no trouble being a good
dude because that's what I am. I couldn't feel  better, and this couldn't have
happened at a better time. I thank the judge for  giving me a chance and I thank
everybody for being supportive".
