The Times Herald reports that Akon’s trial, which was supposed to begin today in Fishkill Town Justice Court, has been postponed until Dec. 17.On that date, it will be determined whether or not a trial will take place or if matters can be resolved without a trial.
Akon pleaded not guilty last December to endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor and second-degree harassment, a violation. The charges arose from a June 3, 2007 incident where he allegedly threw then 15-year-old Harriman resident Anthony Smith from the stage at the annual KFest concert at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill.
He appeared last night at a free, MySpace CD release show at the China Club in New York City to promote today’s release of his new album, “Freedom.”
