Currently serving the rest of his term and looking forward to a release within the next two to three months, Cassidy provided the following statement regarding the recent turn of events via his defense attorney, Fortunato Perri:
“While I am pleased that I was cleared of the murder charges, my satisfaction is not long-lasting, because of the death of someone who I considered to be my friend, Des Hawkins.† And while I am eager to resume my career as a recording artist, writer and performer, I am also eager to be reunited with my family, friends, and fans.† I too share the important message stated in court by Des’s dad, who urged all parents to love their children, and to be there for them. As the father of a young child myself, spending much time on the road and in the studio, away from home, I am relieved that I will soon be home for family and my career.”
Upon his release, Cassidy will head†back into the studio with producer-extraordinaire and†CEO of Full Surface Records, Swizz Beatz, to record what is destined to be one of the most poignant recordings of Cassidyís burgeoning career.†
“I’d like to first thank†radio and all of his fans for their love and support during this time, and let everyone know that when Cassidy gets out, do not expect us to promote this situation as a cocky and†violent situation, but as a blessed situation,îsays Swizz Beatz.††ìCass will†continue to make†great music, but in a positive way, educating the youth that violence is†neverthe answer. We’ll do the rest of the talking with the music.”
