Kanye West charged with rumpus-creation

Given how Kanye West hates to be made to go places and come away with being handed something, he must be looking forward to the forthcoming court trip he's got in store. West and his manager after a battle with photographers at LAX last year:

West has been charged with one count each of: vandalism, grand theft and battery and faces up to two years and six months in jail if found guilty. [Manager Don] Crawley has been charged with two counts each of vandalism, grand theft and battery and could face up to five years in jail.

Splendidly, it turns out West's defence is in the hands of a man called Blair Berk.
