In what is beginning to become a regular occurrence, the 1999 assault case against Jay-Z has been pushed back once again.
Jay-Z was listed to appear in a New York courtroom yesterday, but the date was pushed back to next month because one of the rapper’s attorneys, Murray Richman, is handling an unrelated trial in the Bronx, New York. Jury selection is now slated to begin on July 16th.
As HipHopDx.com previously reported, Jay-Z, who maintains his innocence, stands accused of stabbing record executive Lance “Un” Rivera during a fight at New York City’s Kit Kat Club on December 1st, 1999.
In anther unrelated case, Jay-Z is also scheduled to appear in a Manhattan courtroom on June 26th for a hearing on gun charges stemming from an incident in which police allegedly found a gun in the waistband in one of the rapper’s bodyguards outside a New York nightclub in April.
