Kanye West Pleads “No Contest” To Misdemeanor Assault Charge

Kanye West Pleads “No Contest” To Misdemeanor Assault Charge

Kanye West’s criminal defense attorney recently plead “no contest” to the assault charge filed against Kanye back in July of 2013 for attacking a photographer.  In return for pleading no contest, the LA City Attorney and judge decided to dismiss the attempted grand theft auto charge that had accompanied the assault charge, and allowed K.W. to enter into a deferred sentence.

For the deferred sentence of the assault charge, Kanye must complete two years of probation, meaning he must remain out of legal trouble for at least two years.  The “Yeezus” rap artist must also complete 24 private therapy sessions for anger management and 250 hours of community service.  Kanye was ordered to pay for all medical bills incurred by  photographer, Daniel Ramos, and he must pay for any photography equipment that was damaged during their altercation at the Los Angeles International Airport.

If 36 year-old Kanye fails to stay out of legal trouble or doesn’t comply with all of the judges orders, than Kanye will have revoked his deferred sentence.  When the deferred sentence is revoked the judge will impose a sentence, which would likely be jail time and additional fines for Kanye.

During the last court appearance, of which Kanye West was not present, Daniel Ramos and his defense attorney had an opportunity to address the court and judge.  Daniel spoke of the emotional and physical trauma he suffered during the scuffle and how it still haunts him.  He told the judge that Kanye should go to jail for the battery and that he felt the attack was an intentional ploy for Kanye to promote his new album “Yeezus” that released just one day before the incident.

Daniel Ramos is no stranger to quarreling with the stars, in 2007 Britney Spears lashed out and hit his car with her umbrella while he was taking photos.

Kanye and his defense attorney will have to reappear in court for a review hearing on July 17th to follow-up on his therapy sessions, community service hours, and will be given the specific restitution amount he will pay out to Daniel Ramos.

Justin Bieber a Menace in Calabasas – Reckless Driving, Smoking Marijuana, Assault

Justin Bieber a Menace in Calabasas – Reckless Driving, Smoking Marijuana, Assault

As of recent, pop icon, Justin Bieber, has become a terror in his Calabasas California neighborhood.   Police are becoming all too familiar with the singer as they have been called to investigate accusations of reckless driving, smoking marijuana on public sidewalks, and assault on a neighbor.

Back in March, Justin Bieber was confronted by one of his prestigious neighbors, Jeff Schwarts an auto mogul, for his ongoing reckless driving and driving at speeds around 100 mph down Calabasas streets.  In response, Justin allegedly assaulted Jeff by spitting on him and threatening to kill him.  Jeff’s wife, Suzie Schwartz shared her Bieber disgust with reporters, “He’s a punk.  He thinks he’s invincible.”  Police have finished their investigation and now it’s on the LA county District Attorney’s office to file assault charges.

During this past holiday weekend, JB managed to piss off former NFL superstar neighbor Keyshawn Johnson by reckless driving throughout their gated community in his Ferrari.  Keyshawn, who was driving a Prius, reportedly followed Justin to his home and blocked the Ferrari in the driveway with his fuel-efficient car.  Keyshawn got out of his car to confront Beibs about his dangerous reckless driving, but Bieber ran scared into his home and wouldn’t come out. Other witnesses observed the same erratic driving and verified Justin was the driver and it appeared he was high on marijuana. Keyshawn Johnson is fired up, stating Justin is “playing with dynamite.”  Seriously concerned for his children’s safety, Keyshawn plans on working with law enforcement to end Bieber’s reckless driving and menacing ways.

Additionally over the weekend, neighbors supposedly saw Justin and a friend smoking marijuana while driving Segways side by side, right in front of neighborhood kids!

Community members are sick of Bieber’s juvenile behavior and banding together, irritated neighbor Eric Dickerson, NFL Hall of Famer, sent tweets of “Justin Bieber needs to slow his ass down.” The community plans on initiating new rules through the homeowner’s board to discourage Justin’s dangerous illegal ways.

Justin needs to grow up fast and slow way down to 25 mph!

Defense Attorney Saves Lindsay Lohan Despite Being Fired

Defense Attorney Saves Lindsay Lohan Despite Being Fired

Lindsay Lohan must have been out of her mind for firing her long standing criminal defense attorney, Shawn Holley, on January 14th, just 1 day prior to her next court appearance! Known for unruly behavior and compulsive decision making, Lohan, hired a New York defense lawyer, Mark Heller, who is also defending her on the Manhattan night club assault case (see my earlier blog Assault by Lindsay Lohan) to replace attorney Shawn Holley.  Soon after the “Liz and Dic” actress signed Shawn Holley’s termination papers, she knew she made a mistake, freaked out and wanted Holley back on her case!

Lucky for Lindsay, super hero attorney Holley came to her rescue one last time to plead not guilty for her to three misdemeanor counts she racked up when she drove her Porche into a dump truck on the Santa Monica Highway.  According to NYDailyNews.com, Lohan’s misdemeanor charges include, willfully obstructing the accident probe, reckless driving, and lying to police officers.  Rumors have surfaced Holley showed up to court in spite of knowing she was kicked to the curb, to collect on her outstanding legal fees of $300,000, of which Lohan hadn’t paid for six months.

After finding a California attorney to sponsor him, lawyer Mark Heller, is now serving as Lindsay’s legal representation.  Their next court date has been scheduled for January 30th for a pretrial hearing.

If found guilty of the misdemeanor charges and probation violation, Lindsay could be facing some serious time in jail, which equates to only a week or two for an A-List celebrity.   I’ll keep you posted on more Lohan legal drama, it never ends!
