Well, it took three trials to do it, but So Solid's Megaman has been cleared of murder. The rapper, real name Dwayne Vincent was, of course, accused of inciting his friend, former So Solid producer Carl Morgan, to murder love-rival Colin Scarlett back in November 2004. As previously reported, Morgan shot Scarlett four times outside his home in Tooting, after Scarlett had beaten him up earlier in the day, and was convicted of murder in October last year and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The case against Vincent was, as aforementioned, brought three times due to two previous juries' inability to reach a conclusion. Speaking after yesterday's verdict, the rap star said he felt like "a broken man", adding "I have finally been released from a system which has been designed to keep people behind bars whether they are innocent or guilty. I was an innocent man from the beginning - nothing has changed and nothing will ever change."
