Georgia Man Pleads Not Guilty In The Death Of Usher’s Stepson

. . , , , , , , ,

A Georgia man, facing criminal charges stemming from the death of Usher’s stepson, Kile Glover, entered a not guilty plea in Hall County Court, Tuesday (March 19). Jeffrey Simon was indicted earlier in the month, accused of going too fast on his water ski, and accidentally hitting the child. Glover, who is the son of Tameka Raymond,—Usher’s ex-wife— was taken to a Georgia hospital where he stayed on life support for two weeks before being removed. He passed away in late July. 

From the Times of Gainesville:

Hubbard, whose lawyer Jeff Talley entered the plea in court on his behalf, also pleaded not guilty to charges of reckless operation of a vessel, unlawful operation of a personal watercraft, boat traffic violation and serious injury by vessel before Superior Court Judge Bonnie Oliver. Glover suffered severe brain injuries when authorities believe Hubbard’s personal watercraft collided with Glover, who was on an inflatable raft. He was vacationing with his father at the time of the incident. Glover was hospitalized, never regaining consciousness. He died July 21. Jordan Shepp, who was tubing with Kile Glover, suffered a severe injury to her left arm and her scalp was “seriously disfigured,” requiring multiple sutures, according to the indictment. If convicted of homicide by vessel, Hubbard would face at least three years in prison, not exceeding 15. If convicted on the injury by vessel charge, Hubbard would face one year, and no more than five years, in prison. Law enforcement officials said Hubbard was in violation of the “100-foot law,” which mandates that drivers of boats and personal watercraft not operate at more than idle speed within 100 feet of a sitting object or a person in the water. Glover’s death, and the deaths of Jake and Griffin Price, have spurred legislative scrutiny of boating regulations.

Since her son’s death, Tameka Raymond has lost custody of the two children she shares with Usher.

Juelz Santana Sentenced To Two Years Probation For Threatening Neighbor

Juelz Santana got sentenced to two years probation after copping a plea deal.

Rapper Juelz Santana has been sentenced to two years probation for threatening his neighbor.  According to Cliff View Pilot, his neighbor, whose name has not been released, initially intervened when Santana was beating his girlfriend and phoned the police in Englewood, New Jersey. He claims that Santana has since “threatened me with death” and was going to “kill me,” causing “problems in my marriage [and] my personal life. … I had to move out of fear. I pay more rent now. I’ve been having problems with my wife.” The Dipset member, who appeared in court yesterday and said nothing to the judge, dodged a prison sentence by entering a plea deal that “substantially” reduced possible penalties. The plea deal stemmed from three charges, two of which involve assaults. “One is an allegation against his girlfriend, the mother of his children,” said Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Jessica Gomperts. “The second was an innocent bystander who intervened when James assaulted her.”

Santana only pleaded guilty to a single third-degree count of threatening the neighbor, who Gomberts says was “terrorized.” The rapper was allowed to keep his driver’s license because he needs it for work. “Probation would be a positive factor for the defendant,” said Superior Court Judge James Guida, “and incarceration an excessive hardship.” Juelz, who recently dropped his God Will’n mixtape, isn’t in the clear just yet. He is still facing chargesstemming from a police raid on his “Santana’s World” studios in Bergenfield two years ago, when cops found two loaded 9mm handguns, boxes of ammunitions and 17 dime bags of marijuana. He was alsoarrested for making terrorist threats and disorderly conduct in November 2011.
