JR was in court. Read this strange happening:
"Prosecutors told Rackover he could plead guilty to the top charge of driving without a license and pay a $500 fine, but his lawyer insisted on a trial date."

Why in the world would they insist on a trial for a charge of driving without a license???
James Rackover, 25, looked downcast as he stood beside attorney Robert Caliendo during the brief appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Prosecutors told Rackover he could plead guilty to the top charge of driving without a license and pay a $500 fine, but his lawyer insisted on a trial date.
“We’re not prepared to resolve the case at this time,” said Caliendo who was given a Feb. 21 trial date.
Prosecutors also turned over additional DMV records that have Rackover’s given name, James Beaudoin.
The driving case is the least of Rackover’s legal woes. The ex-con faces a slew of felony charges in a separate but related case stemming from the Nov. 13 slaying of Joseph Comunale.
