Slick Rick has been pardoned from a deportation charge he’s been facing for SEVENTEEN YEARS. Why it took so long for this to go down is beyond me.
“My family and I are eternally thankful to Governor Paterson, my attorneys Michael Krinsky and Craig Kaplan at Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky & Lieberman and to all of the people who have supported me throughout the past seventeen years. This has been a long and difficult road and I am happy for this to be settled once and for all. I look forward to enjoying this time with my family and friends and to continue leading an honest and productive life.” – Ricky Walters
