It happened a few years ago.........he completed a diversion program and it should have been removed from his record. He's also been clean since. He was upfront with the producers of American Idol from the start. They chose to let him participate. If he's stayed clean, and the producers are ok with him. Then why criticize or condemn him? Besides doesn't he deserve some credit for getting clean and staying that way?
He's not the only contestant that's had legal troubles. A few years back Scott Savol was arrested for domestic violence. The producers chose to let him continue as well.
I don't think it's fair for them to have to continue to pay for mistakes after the legal system says they have, or if charges were dropped in the first place.

Apparently if you fess up with the powers that be right from the start, you're pretty much good to go. It's when they find stuff out that you "forgot" to disclose (such as Frenchie not mentioning she'd posed topless years ago, or Corey-Cornrows not mentioning that he'd been in trouble for whacking his sister) that they toss you out.

I didn't start watching "Idol" till the 3rd season. So, I don't have any feelings about Clay one way or the other, except to say he's done better as a runner up than Ruben has as the winner, and I'm happy for him.
