DMX appeared in court in Phoenix yesterday, in relation to that previously reported missed court appearance, the result of his hospitalisation in Florida. The rapper, real name Earl Simmons, was in court for less than two minutes, but was still fidgety. The judge ordered him back to court on 7 Oct.
As I'm sure you'll remember, Simmons is facing five drugs charges, a felony theft charge, and animal cruelty charges. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said in a statement: "I said it before and I'll say it again, this guy is treating our legal system like a revolving door. This is an outrage. Is it because of his notoriety that he is continuously released by the courts? It is about time the revolving door stop and the cell door close".
