TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- He got it from his mama.
- Free Sean and Mama Kingston!
- There's nothing funny about this situation, but you've gotta laugh at Sean Kingston's continued antics over the years. Man is like a cartoon character with all of the wacky situations he finds himself in.
- He's innocent until proven guilty.
- Fraud -- the family business.
- Maybe if they ask real nicely, they can share a cell together.
Like mother, like son. Both Janice Turner and Sean Kingston were arraigned on Monday on state charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The mother-and-son duo appeared in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom yesterday, where they showed up in matching white outfits to enter written not guilty pleas. The family members are facing wire fraud charges, including one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud, after they allegedly defrauded victims out of “high-end cars, jewelry, and other goods the courts say they purchased using fraudulent documents.”
They are looking at potentially spending decades in prison if convicted. The family’s attorney, Robert Rosenblatt, maintains Sean Kingston’s innocence and says “we’re looking forward to trying his case in state or federal court or both if necessary…We’re confident we will be very successful in the case.”
Both Kingston and his mom, Janice Turner, were spotted literally running away from the courthouse after appearing on Friday. They ignored questions shouted to them by press, while she acted childishly — making obscene gestures at reporters and laughing as she darted into the black Mercedes-Maybach S-Class sedan waiting.
