LL Cool J burglar pleads not guilty
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 30 August 2012
The man accused of burgling rapper LL Cool J’s home earlier this month entered a not guilty plea at an LA court on Tuesday, Reuters reports.
As previously reported, LL Cool J discovered the man, named as Jonathan Kirby, in his kitchen at around 1am last Wednesday morning. He tackled the intruder and detained him while his daughter called the police – breaking Birby’s jaw, nose and some ribs in the process.
Due to California’s “three-strikes” law, Kirby faces a sentence of 38 years to life if found guilty, as it would be his third conviction in the state. He will now be held in jail until another hearing on 10 Sep to decide if there is enough evidence to take the case to trial.
