Mayweather Sentenced To Jail

Posted on: January 16, 2012 at 12:58 a.m.

Professional boxer Floyd Mayweather was sentenced to three months in jail after striking a plea bargain with prosecutors last month. Mayweather was arrested for domestic abuse in September of 2010 after his ex-girlfriend accused the boxer of hitting her several times in the head with his fists and threatening to kill her in front of their children. Mayweather was initially charged with felony domestic violence, but as part of his plea bargain he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of misdemeanor domestic violence, as well pleading no contest to two additional charges of misdemeanor harassment. The judge in the case sentenced Mayweather to six months in jail, though three months of the sentence were suspended. The boxer was also given credit for three days he had already served. Mayweather was also sentenced to 100 hours of community service, ordered to complete a 12-month domestic violence program, and finde $2,500. He was given until January 6th to turn himself in to begin serving his sentence.

Rapper Sentenced For Domestic Violence

Posted on: January 9, 2012 at 6:35 p.m.

Rapper Flesh-N-Bone was sentenced in late December after striking a plea bargain on domestic abuse charges. The rapper, whose real name is Stanley Howse, was arrested one year ago in January of 2011 on suspicion of domestic violence when an argument with his wife is said to have gotten physically violent. Howse was officially charged with inflicting bodily injury on a spouse, criminally threatening her and false imprisonment. The rapper spent an unspecified amount of time in jail, then struck a deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to false imprisonment in exchange for the charges of inflicting bodily injury and criminal threats being dropped. Howse's sentenced was amended to time already served in jail, three years of probation and serving 100 hours of community service. In addition, Howse must also donate $400 to a battered women's shelter and participate in a domestic violence program. Howse always maintained that he was innocent of the charges against him, but he agreed to plead guilty to certain charges in order to gain his freedom and move on with his life. Howse has been part of the rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony since the mid-1990s, as well as releasing three solo albums. Howse has a long history of legal troubles and criminal arrests, including several weapons possessions charges and parole violations.

Burkhart Arrested On Suspicion Of Arson

Posted on: January 4, 2012 at 2:28 a.m.

Local law enforcement officials in Los Angeles have arrested a man they believe to be responsible for a series of car fires that occurred over this past weekend. Harry Burkhart, a German national living in Hollywood, was arrested at approximately 3 o'clock Monday morning by a Los Angeles County reserve Sheriff's Deputy near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in West Hollywood. Burkhart, who is just 24 years old, is suspected of starting 52 car fires from last Thursday night to Sunday night throughout the Hollywood, West Hollywood, Studio City, Sherman Oaks and North Hollywood areas. While no deaths or serious injuries resulted from the fires, the flames damaged several carports and apartment buildings and resulted in as much as $3 million in damages. Local law enforcement agents were able to capture Burkhart after surveillance video was released of him leaving a parking structure in which a car had been set ablaze. The grainy video showed a tall, heavy-set man with a receding hairline and shoulder-length hair pulled back into a ponytail. Information from a combined federal and local law enforcement group, the Joint Arson Task Force, revealed that Burkhart drove a dark Dodge van with Canadian license plates. Reserve sheriff's deputy Shervin Lalezary spotted the vehicle early Monday morning and pulled Burkhart over before arresting him. Burkhart is being held without bail and is expected to appear in court again this Wednesday.

Atkins Arrested For Domestic Abuse

Posted on: December 19, 2011 at 2:29 a.m.

Country singer Rodney Atkins was arrested in late November for domestic assault after an argument with his wife allegedly turned physical at their Tennessee home. According to reports, Atkins' wife, Tammy, called 911 near 8 o'clock in the morning on November 21st after the couple had been arguing the whole night. Tammy Atkins then told police that her husband had attempted to smother her with a pillow and even grabbed her face and threw her down a hallway--all in front of the couple's 10-year-old son. Atkins' wife insisted that the country music star had been consuming alcohol all night to the point of intoxication. Atkins was arrested that morning and held at a nearby jail until he was released after posting $2,500 bail. Atkins, however, insists that his wife lied to police about the incident, claiming that the argument never turned physical. Atkins has since filed for divorce. No word has been given on when Atkins is expected to appear in court or what penalties he might face if he is convicted.

Roy Charged With Attempted Extortion

Posted on: December 18, 2011 at 12:02 a.m.

Film director Duncan Roy was arrested in mid-November by Los Angeles police on charges of felony attempted extortion. It is unclear who Roy attempted to extort, or what, exactly, his demands were. Roy was arrested and held on an immigration hold in Van Nuys since he is not an American citizen and was born in England. Being held on an immigration hold is standard practice for non-American citizens who have been accused of a felony criminal offense. Roy appeared in a Los Angeles court just eight days later and pleaded not guilty. Roy's bail was set at $35,000 and the director remains in police custody. Roy directed the 2002 independent film "AKA," and was also featured on the 2009 season of "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew" where he was treated for a sex addiction and shared stories of the severe physical and sexual abuse he had suffered as a child.

An experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can tell you that extortion is a very serious crime indeed. If you have been arrested on suspicion of extortion, you need an experienced and skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney to help protect you in a criminal court system that is often intimidating and can potentially send you to jail. If you are facing criminal charges such as extortion, call the attorneys at Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP today at 1-877-781-1570. Our attorneys have over 50 years of combined experience in successfully defending people against criminal charges of all types and we know how to fight effectively for your. An experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can explain to you that extortion is defined as the use of threat to obtain goods or services from another person. Those threats can include physical violence (including the threat of physical violence to members of the victims circle of friends or family), the threat to reveal sensitive information or secrets, or even the threat to accuse the victim of a crime. Your Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney knows that extortion charges tend to be felony criminal offenses that carry a penalty of up to four years in a California State Prison, as well as fines of up to $10,000 if you are found guilty. Eventhough Roy's attempt at extortion is thought to have failed, your Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can tell you that even the attempt to extort another person is, in itself, a criminal offense that is punishable by jail or prison time, usually at least half the jail or prison term for being found guilty of actually committing the crime. If you are facing criminal charges, call the Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys at Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP today to begin preparing your defense.

Foster Convicted Of Grand Theft

Posted on: December 10, 2011 at 11:47 p.m.

The father of Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster was convicted of grand theft in a Los Angeles court last week for his part in a scheme that allegedly bilked several people of as much as $130,000. Lucius Foster, who is 89 years old and is estranged from his famous daughter, was accused of running a housing scheme that promised to build several homes on single-family lots out of 40-foot-long Chinese shipping containers. According to reports, Foster had been advertising three-bedroom homes for $85,000 through ads such as Craig's List. Prospective buyers, who were often elderly or low-income, handed Foster $5,000 each as a deposit on these homes with projected dates of completion for the future. As one angry home buyer testified, the completion dates came and went with no progress on the home building. When asked about the building's expected completion, Foster is said to have given several excuses until criminal charges were filed against him. During the trial, Foster acted as his own attorney and claimed he wanted to get his jail sentence over with quickly so he could work on getting his clients' money back. After being convicted on 21 counts of grand theft as well as nine counts of contracting without a license, Foster is facing nearly 26 years in a Los Angeles County Jail. According to reports, Foster used a lot of personal charm to get people to agree to deals with him, telling them war stories and even talking about his estranged daughter to build his credibility. It remains unclear as to what Foster did with the $130,000 he had amassed through collecting deposits from as many as 21 different prospective home-buyers since Foster's own personal bank accounts were nearly empty.

Your Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney knows that if the amount money, or the cash value of something stolen that was stolen is above $400, it will most likely be considered Grand Theft instead of plain Theft and is likely to be considered a felony criminal offense.

Dourdan Arrested For Felony Battery

Posted on: November 16, 2011 at 1:55 a.m.

Actor Gary Dourdan was arrested for battery last week after a dispute with his former girlfriend turned violent. According to reports, Dourdan showed up at his ex-girlfriend's Venice, California home and local law enforcement agents were called to the residence around 9 o'clock that evening after calls reporting a disturbance. When police arrived at the scene, Dourdan's girlfriend was not in the home, but a second call to the Los Angeles Police Department that evening reported an injured woman in a nearby alley. Police at the scene discovered Dourdan's girlfriend had suffered a broken nose, which she claimed Dourdan had given her. The actor was immediately arrested and booked for felony battery. He was held on $50,000 bail. Dourdan is best known for his work as Warrick Brown on the hit television show "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" from 2000 to 2008. Dourdan also appeared in the film "Jumping The Broom," which was released earlier this year. No word has been given as to when Dourdan is next expected in court. While this is Dourdan's first arrest for battery, he was previously arrested in 2008 for drug possession in Palm Springs, California.

16-Year-Old Arrested for Murder In Downtown

Posted on: November 13, 2011 at 6:36 a.m.

A 16-year-old high school student was arrested for murder after gunning down a classmate near the 3rd Street Tunnel in downtown Los Angeles. The young man, whose name has not been released because he is a minor, had reportedly had a dispute with another 16-year-old classmate during the day at Central High School, a continuation school both boys were attending. The two boys were reportedly members of rival gangs and met after school was done for the day in mid-October at the 3rd Street Tunnel to resolve their dispute. The victim was shot multiple times in the torso and taken to nearby Los Angeles County U.S.C. medical center where he died of his wounds. The shooter was arrested while still armed at the scene of the crime by a local policeman who happened to be passing by and saw the incident. The defendant was taken to Eastlake Juvenile Hall and is still awaiting trial.

As any experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can attest, murder is a very serious crime, even for someone who is still a minor. The same Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can also tell you that crimes committed by minors are often treated very differently from crimes committed by adults. Children even have a completely different court system to deal with their criminal behavior and the appropriate punishments. An experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney knows that the criminal justice system that deal with children typically approaches them more with an eye to rehabilitate rather than simply punish. In recent times, however, many politicians gain favor with constituents by enacting "tough on crime" laws that still affect minors profoundly. For example, the experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney knows that the state of California's tough "Three Strikes" laws have been applied to minors. Under Three Strikes laws, a person who commits three eligible felony criminal offenses can be sent to a state prison for life. These sentences can be applied to crimes as serious as murder or assault, as well as seemingly smaller crimes such as theft, vandalism or drug possession crimes. If your child has been arrested for a criminal offense, call the offices of Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP today at 1-877-781-1570 to speak to a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney about your son or daughter's case.

Lohan Ordered Back to Jail

Posted on: November 3, 2011 at 12:02 a.m.

Actress Lindsay Lohan was ordered back to jail today after an exasperated Los Angeles County Judge put together a complicated sentence for violating her probation. Lohan was originally arrested in 2007 for drinking and driving. Since then the actress has been sentenced to jail five times for failing to complete the terms of her original probation. Today, the judge in Lohan's case ordered her to serve 300 days in a Los Angeles County Jail, though only 30 days of that sentence would have to be served up front. Lohan was also sentenced to 400 hours of community service at a county morgue, counseling sessions and monthly court appearances. The judge in Lohan's case noted that if she failed to complete all the terms of her probation, she would, indeed, have to return to serve the remaining 270 days of her new sentence. According to reports, the 30 days that Lohan was ordered to serve may, in fact, end up being less than a week because of overcrowding in the California jail system. Lohan was also forbidden from serving her jail sentence under house arrest, as she had previously done. Lohan has until November 9th to report for her jail sentence.

While probation violations may not seem as bad as committing an actual crime, any Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorny can tell you that not completing, or even violating the terms of your probation can land you in some serious trouble, including extra jail time. Depending on the nature of the crime you were convicted of, a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can tell you that probation may either be given instead of jail or prison time, or may be given in addition to it. In DUI cases, for example, a person with no prior history of DUI who didn't cause any damage or injury to another person may simply be placed on probation if convicted of DUI. An experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can explain to you that terms of probation in many DUI cases frequently include community service, alcohol counseling or rehabilitation, fines and a specified number of court appearances or meetings with your probation officer. Probation can also be given in addition to a jail or prison sentence, depending on the criminal offense you were convicted of. When a defendant is on probation, your Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can also tell you that that person is also expected to keep out of further legal trouble by not engaging in further criminal activity and not being arrested. If you have been arrested for a probation violation, call the attorneys at Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP today at 1-877-781-1570 to speak to an experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney about your case and get the expert legal advice you need now.

Actor Suspected of Murdering Cell Mate

Posted on: October 21, 2011 at 2:01 a.m.

Former actor Joe Son is the prime suspect in the murder of an inmate in a California prison after prison officials found a body in his cell last week. Son is suspected of murdering a 50-year-old inmate who was serving a 2-year prison sentence for failing to register as a sex offender. Son, who was sharing a cell with the unidentified victim at the Wasco State Prison in Central California, was serving a life sentence after being convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit torture and murder. Son, who is best known as an actor for his role as Random Task in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," was found guilty in September of this year of torture and murder stemming from a brutal Christmas Eve, 1990 rape and torture of a young woman in Orange County, California. Son and an accomplice were accused of kidnapping a young woman who was out looking around at Christmas decorations, then repeatedly raped and tortured her before releasing her with her underwear tied around her eyes. The case went unsolved for nearly 20 years until 2008 when Son was convicted of felony vandalism and was required to provide a DNA sample, which matched samples taken from the 1990 crime. No word has been given on actual charges or when the 40-year-old Son may have to appear in court again.

If you are facing a violent criminal charge such as murder, the first thing you need to do is find yourself an experienced and skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney right away. The right Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney may be able to help get your charges reduced or even dismissed altogether. An experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney knows that DNA evidence is not always as accurate as it should be.
