Justin Timberlake’s Attorney Speaks About Arrest
On Wednesday, Justin Timberlake’s attorney spoke out about the Grammy Award winner’s arrest. Justin’s attorney Edward Burke Jr. spoke to TMZ about the arrest in Sag Harbor, New York.
The attorney said, “[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time.” He went on to say, “He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”
By the comments, it appears Justin and his attorney believe the charges are not justifiable. After spending the night in jail and then being arraigned on Tuesday morning, Justin left the courthouse with Edward Burke Jr.
Justin has been ordered to appear in court on July 26. Currently, Timberlake has a concert scheduled for July 26 and 27 in Poland to kick off the European portion of his tour.
So far there has been nothing said about whether or not the shows will be postponed. Right now Justin will continue to perform his concerts as scheduled stateside beginning with Chicago on Friday night.
