Young Buck to stand trial over Vibe Awards stabbing

A judge has ruled there is sufficient evidence for 50 Cent associate Young Buck to stand trial over allegedly stabbing Jimmy James Johnson at last year's Vibe Awards.

50 Cent associate Young Buck, aka David Darnell Brown, will stand trial over allegations he stabbed one Jimmy James Johnson at last year's Vibe Awards in the States.

As previously reported, Johnson initiated a fracas at the awards event after he lashed out at hip hop mogul Dr Dre. He was stabbed during the altercation that followed, allegedly by Brown, who is signed to 50 Cent's G:Unit label, an imprint of Dre's Aftermath label.

A superior court judge ruled this week that there is sufficient evidence against Brown to proceed with a trial. No word yet on when that trial will take place. Commenting of the judge's ruling, Young Buck's lawyer Leonard Levine told reporters: "We're confident when all the truth comes out, he'll be exonerated".
