Vincent 'Don Vito' Margera Found Guilty On Two Counts Of Sexual Assault


(I guess the fake-celebrity bastard finally got the "fame" he wanted)


Margera yelled and flailed on the ground as the split verdict was read in a Colorado courtroom on Wednesday.

Yelling "just kill me now" and falling over onto the ground, Vincent "Don Vito" Margera could not contain himself on Wednesday (October 31) when a jury delivered a split verdict of guilty on two counts of sexual assault on a child. The 51-year-old uncle of "Viva La Bam" star Bam Margera, who was acquitted of a third count, received the news after the jury in the case had deliberated for less than a day.

Margera had been accused of groping three young girls — one 14-year-old and two 12-year-olds — at an autograph signing at a Colorado mall in August 2006 during which they lined up to have their photos taken with the former car painter. Three teen witnesses testified last week, saying they had seen Margera touching the girls inappropriately, but the defense maintained that Margera had been in character at the event. On Friday, April Margera — Bam's mother — testified for the defense, portraying her brother-in-law as a harmless, bumbling man.

During the two-week trial, his attorney had argued that Margera's vulgar, obnoxious actions were part of his outrageous "Don Vito" persona. Prosecutor Jim Stanley countered that argument, according to the Rocky Mountain News, saying, "this man was out of control during this public event. He was so intoxicated that he peed his pants while with these children."

3. When he would show up on Jackass or Viva la Bam I'd instantly feel better
about myself. He was fucking weird.
