Full pardon for 'Slick Rick' Walters
published: Monday | May 26, 2008


Slick Rick

ALBANY, NY (AP):

New York Governor David Paterson is granting a full and unconditional pardon to rapper Ricky 'Slick Rick' Walters for the attempted murder of two men in 1991.

The pardon is expected to halt efforts to deport Walters to the United Kingdom, the country he left as a child.

The eyepatch-wearing star behind the '80s rap classic La-Di-Da-Di served more than five years in prison after the shooting of his cousin and another man. Both survived.

The governor says Walters is now a rap artiste and landlord in the Bronx who hasn't had any criminal problems since his release from prison in 1997. He also says Walters has volunteered to counsel youths against violence.
