Beenie Man cleared of tax-evasion charges

Beenie Man, aka Anthony Davis, has been cleared of tax evasion charges by a Jamaican judge, after government officials failed to inform him of his legal rights. Authorities in the country say that the dancehall star owed nearly $1m in overdue taxes, but Judge Owen Parkin threw out the case against him this week when it became clear that auditors had not informed the star of his rights when issuing their assessment last year.
