NEW YORK — Ashanti is appalled by the prospect of facing her accused stalker again in court, but the Grammy-winning R&B singer said Friday she's determined to see the case through after a mistrial. A juror's illness prompted a mistrial during deliberations Thursday in Devar Hurd's case, which marks the second time in five years he's been tried on charges of harassing the singer or her relatives. “I'm shocked and horrified at the thought of going through this ordeal again, but I will do whatever it takes to make sure my family is safe and that justice is served,” she said in a statement to The Associated Press. Ashanti told jurors Tuesday she was “disgusted ... and absolutely scared” when she realized last year that Hurd was behind a Twitter account sending her X-rated messages and had posed for a photo with her younger sister at an event, despite a court order not to contact the family. “I didn't know what he was capable of,” said the multiplatinum-selling singer, who said she hired extra security because of Hurd. – Reuters
