The Game was in court yesterday to face those charges he assaulted a man and pulled a gun during a game of basketball last February. As previously reported, the charges are all the more serious because the basketball game took place in a 'school zone' where the law treats such actions even more seriously. The rapper maintains his innocence of the charges. The court hearing yesterday was concerned primarily with diary dates - a trial was set for 4 Feb. However, The Game's lawyers also brought up the issue of $44,000 that the authorities confiscated from the rapper when they raided his home last May in investigations linked to the gun pulling allegations. The LAPD have so far refused to return the cash, but The Game's legal people question their justification for that. A hearing has been set for 22 Jan to consider that specific issue.
