More pop courts nonsense, and prosecutors have announced they are dropping charges against rapper Jadakiss a year after his original arrest. The rapper and two other men were stopped by police in Yonkers, NY last October, and it was claimed officers could smell marijuana and found a gun in the vehicle. The three men were charged in February this year, but one of them was acquitted last month after DNA tests failed to link any of the three to the gun. Following that ruling the Westchester County district attorney's office yesterday asked for the charges against Jadakiss and the third man to be dismissed. The rapper's attorney, Clement Patti, said it was outrageous the charges had lasted this long, adding that his client "has had this cloud over his head for a year, affecting his career".
