Don Vito Collapses after Conviction

Don Vito has been found guilty of two counts of sexual assault on a child. He was acquitted on one count.

Vito, real name Vincent Margera, who is Bam Margera's outrageous uncle on MTV's "Viva La Bam," was accused of fondling three girls during a public appearance at a mall in a Denver suburb. The victims of the sexual assault were 12 and 13. After the verdict was read, Don collapsed to the floor and yelled, "Just kill me now!" Deputies restrained him -- and took his ass off to jail.

The verdict on those counts is still pending. Vito will be sentenced on December 20.

Bam: Vito's the New Kobe

It's hard to be taken seriously when you've got a tattoo of two animals humping on your leg, but former "Jackass" star Bam Margera tried anyway.


TMZ caught the bad boy skateboarder outside of Koi last night, where he had a cute little dinner date with legend Tony Hawk. Bam tore into lawyers going after his uncle, Don Vito, who is accused of fondling three girls between the ages of 13 and 15, during an appearance at a Colorado mall last year. "These small town lawyers, they want to get their names in the paper .... It's like the Kobe Bryant thing," Bam said. The daredevil added, "But it's done now, so cheers to Vito."

What Bam didn't realize is that Don's drama is far from over. Yesterday, Vito was released on bail yesterday after forking over $50 grand, but he's definitely not in the clear. He'll be back in court on October 22, when the trial is scheduled to resume.

More Legal Trouble for Don Vito

Don Vito, the unintelligible, overweight uncle of jackass Bam Margera, was charged with 12 felony counts of violating bail related to a Colorado arrest last year. Vito was charged with fondling three girls between the ages of 13 and 15, during an August 2006 appearance at a Colorado Mills mall. One girl testified at a preliminary hearing that Vito grabbed her breast.

He pled not guilty to all charges and was freed on $50,000 bail. As a condition of his bail, he was ordered not to use drugs or alcohol, and to have no contact with children. It was not immediately clear what the nature of his bail violations were.

Vito regularly appears on Margera's MTV show "Viva La Bam" and is often the butt of Bam's jokes and attacks.

The trial will reconvene on October 22.
