Yayo Reconsiders Plea Bargin
Marvin Bernard (37), also known as Tony Yayo of G-Unity, has reportedly reconsidered accepting a plea bargin offered by the prosecution in his current assault case with a minor.
According to the AP; Yayo was arrested in March and charged with misdemeanor assault, harassment and endagering the welfare of a child. The [14 year-old-]child stated he was slapped by Yayo near his father’s Czar Entertainment offices in Manhattan. Following this, Yayo posted $5,000 bail.
Local supporters of the Mothers Against Violence initiatives are outraged that hip hop has now turned violent on young children. Community leaders in parts of Pittsburg, Newark, and Brooklyn, are discussing the possibilty of rallying a demonstration to express disdain for the recent lack of a harsher punishment for Yayo’s violent behavior against a minor.
While Yayo initially rejected the plea bargin, he is now reconsidering the offer. The rapper’s attorney, Scott Leemon was not available for comment. The case has been adjourned until September 6th.

I personally believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty. there is no true evidence that Yayo actually did anything. Looks like a publicity stunt to me.
