Trial Date Set

Beanie Sigel's next trial, on charges of simple assault, is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2006.

Sigel showed up for court today wearing a Chicago White Sox ball cap, a gray Rocawear jersey with black and red stripes, and Roc jeans.

"I've just been relaxing for a minute," he said of the week since he received a not guilty verdict on charges of attempted murder. He leaned back on the court bench with a big satisfied smile and said he'd been playing video games with his kids and relaxing.

Though there was some talk that he'd rerelease his latest disc The B.Coming with some extra tracks, he's since decided his next offering will be all new material.

Sigel waited in court for close to an hour today before Judge Bradley Moss took the bench and set the date. Defense attorney Fred Perri came over to pass the time.

Turns out Perri just watched Sigel's profanity-filled movie State Property II over the weekend. "I couldn't watch it before the trial," said Perri. "I would've thrown up if I'd seen it last week."

The movie is filled with material that could be seen as prejudicial for a jury—with Sigel's autobiographically named character Beans engaging in some big-time gangsta doings, from dealing drugs to firing semiautomatic weapons to rolling around town in his infamous Escalade.

"I brought my daughters in to see the parts I was in," says Perri. "With the volume down."

"Did your wife watch it?" asked Sigel.

"Yeah," said Perri. "We fast-forwarded through some of it, but yeah."
