 NEW YORK (Mystikal Fan Website) - The sentencing of rapper Mystikal has been delayed. Mystikal has already pleaded guilty to sexual battery charges, but his lawyers want the presiding judge to be taken off the case, claiming that he saw an "inflammatory version" of the video-tape showing the rapper and his bodyguards assaulting Mystikal's hair stylist. The lawyers claim that the tape does not show "the entirety of the events". Mystikal's attorney says that his client is also considering withdrawing his guilty plea. The judge has refused to step down from the case, but the sentencing hearing - which was scheduled to take place last week - will now be delayed until January. Mystikal was arrested in July 2002 for aggravated rape and extortion, along with his bodyguards. He faces up to ten years in prison.
