Boy George has again insisted he is innocent of those previously reported drugs charges, although he entered no plea when he appeared at a New York court yesterday as his lawyer asked for more time to prepare the singer's defence.
As previously reported, police found the drugs at the singer's NYC home after they were called to check out a suspected burglary at the house last October. George claims to know nothing about the drugs and says, because many people are entertained at his apartment, it is impossible for him to guess who they belonged to.
The case was yesterday adjourned to 8 Mar following a request for more time by George's lawyer Lou Freeman. Speaking to journalists about the case after the hearing, Freeman said: "He [George] steadfastly maintains his innocence as to these charges. He's already pleaded not guilty, he continues that plea of not guilty in the strongest possible terms. He will fight these drug charges to prove his innocence."
