Yayo Cleared?


Tony Yayo has been fighting charges of assault against a 14 year old. In New York Criminal Court Thursday, the D.A. revealed that Lawell Fletcher told detectives back in August that he had assaulted the victim, and that Yayo (real name: Marvin Bernard) actually tried to restrain him from doing so, which would seem to clear G-Unit Co-Founder of assault charges. Tony's lawyer, Scott Leemon, told TMZ, "I'm glad that after a year, evidence is finally emerging that could prove that Tony Yayo is not guilty." The rapper is due back in court in a week, with his trial scheduled to begin March 31. Tony Yayo rejected a plea that would have given him 9 months in jail. Good thing he did!
