New York Governor David Patterson is granting Slick Rick a FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL PARDON for the attempted murders of two men in 1991. This will finally halt the deportation efforts trying to send Rick the Ruler to his birthplace the UK.
Rick served more than five years in prison for the 1991 shooting of his cousin and another man who both survived.
More recently he spent more than a year in prison when he was arrested in 2002 on a 1997 warrant. Agents got him as he returned to Miami from a weeklong cruise where he was a featured performer.
The Gov. said in his announcement-
"Mr Walters has fully served the sentence imposed upon him for his convictions, had an exemplary disciplinary record while in prison and on parole, and has been living without incident in the community for more than 10 years." He also said. "I urge immigration officials to once again grant Mr. Walters relief from deportation, so that he is not separated from his many family members who are United States citizens, including his two teenage children."
All I can say is I'm glad Slick Rick is finally free.
