Plea Deal and No Jail Time for Mel Gibson
Written by 888BailBond Bondsman on March 10, 2011 – 1:02 pm -On Wednesday, actor and director Mel Gibson, reportedly made a plea deal with prosecutors, which involves no jail time, for the domestic charges he was arrested on last year. According to the L.A. County DA’s office, on Friday, Mel Gibson will go before the court and plead no contest to a smaller misdemeanor battery charge in regards to his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.
An anonymous source who is directly engaged with the case revealed to the Associate Press that Gibson would be able to undergo counseling instead of serving time in jail. As bail bondsmen, this is consistent with first time domestic violence charges received by a defendant in Los Angeles County. In other words, it does not appear that Gibson is getting any special treatment.

Remember when 44 year old actor Tom Sizemore was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend at the time, Hollywood madam, Heidi Fleiss? Well, seems like Tom didn’t learn his lesson after being arrested that time. Only two years later he was jailed for failing a drug test while on probation.
Again, history repeats itself when Wednesday evening at 9:30, Sizemore, known for his roles in “Strange Days” and “Blackhawk Down,” was arrested near downtown Los Angeles. He was allegedly involved in yet another incident involving domestic violence with a woman that became physical, police said. Full details have not been released. However, Sizemore was booked and held on a $20,000 bail for the misdemeanor.

Assault Charges Come In Different Forms
Written by Robin Sandoval-March on March 6, 2009 – 9:55 pm -Even when you’re a celebrity…
When pop songstress Rihanna made her report of assault against R&B hit singer Chris Brown, it is very likely the police took quick measures to capture all the details of her complaint. In this case, Chris Brown was charged on February 8th, 2009 with two felonies of assault in connection to the altercation with Rihanna. The assault is being based on his “creating great bodily injury and criminal threats to her.” Most people are unaware that such threats as “I’m going to kill you,” even when they are not acted upon, are a serious crime. In this case, it appears that there were more than just words exchanged between the couple, but the words alone are enough to bring charges.

OJ’s back in court, but this trial surely won’t be as much of a spectacle as the murder trial. It’s hard to believe that more than 10 years have passed because, for those of us living in Southern California, television was “all OJ, all the time.”
