That Dude From OZ Was Cleared

Remember back in February when Granville Adams, who played Arif on OZ, was arrested for pushing a guy down an elevator shaft while breaking up a fight? He was cleared on all charges. Orlando Valle was celebrating his 35th birthday at club B.E.D with his family and as they were leaving, Granville, who was the club maitre d', pushed up on Orlando's niece, which caused a fight between the niece and the coat check girl. When Granville tried to break up the fight, Orlando jumped on his back and when Granville tossed him off and he hit the elevator door, which slid open, and dude fell four floors to his death. After the ruling said Granville, "I would now like to take this time to express my condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, Mr. Orlando Valle. I will continue to keep them in my prayers." Still, Granville added the he believes he has no criminal, civil or moral liability for Valle's death.
