Article published: Thu, 04 September 2008 00:27:41AM
Akon is headed to trial on criminal charges he threw a fan off stage at a New York state concert last summer.
The 35-year-old singer asked for the jury trial during a brief appearance with his lawyer in Fishkill Town Court.
He is due back in court for trial on December 1 unless a deal is negotiated in the meantime.
Akon pleaded not guilty in December to misdemeanour charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, a violation.
He was accused of throwing a teenage boy off the stage during a June 2007 concert at a minor league baseball stadium near Poughkeepsie.
