I'm not saying he didn't do it, but I take take all crime news reports with a grain of salt. They usually only talk to law enforcement before running these stories, and they can be very one-sided. I have a client who was arrested after his girlfriend assaulted him but said he assaulted her. He was acquitted and judge found in a civil proceeding that he was the one assaulted. The news only ran one report immediately after his arrest, never asked us for comment, and never updated the story.
He agreed to plea go l guilty to aggravated assault for a 10 year sentence with all but 18 months suspended. Meaning he did 18 months and got on probation. As long as he complies with his probation conditions, he won't have to do the other 8.5 years. We could have gone to trial on self-defense, and it was probably a toss-up if we won or not. But our guy didn't want to put the family through that. He was friends with the guy he fought and felt terrible about what he did.
Yeah, it definitely is. I'm a lawyer, and I represented a guy who got into a fight and hit the other guy just right in the temple that he passed out, fell back, hit his head, and fractured his skull. Doctors kept him alive for a week but declared him brain dead with almost zero chance of recovery. Family made the decision to take him off life support, and he died a few days later.
It already is, they just don't prosecute it. Theft by false pretenses 532 PC of the California penal code.
