The judge in Kanye West’s 2008 battery and vandalism case dismissed all three misdemeanor charges against him and his road manager Don Crawley in court today.

Kanye and Don were both accused of breaking a photographer’s cameras at LAX in September of last year. According to Kanye’s lawyer, the attacks were incited by the overzealous paparazzi. He added that the pair were remorseful over the fight, and that they had already paid the photog back for the broken cameras.

The judge agreed to drop the case, under the condition that Kanye and Don each complete 50 hours of community service.
