Dave Chappelle Unhappy With Charges Dropped Against Attacker
Dave Chappelle is not happy about the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office dropping the charges against his attacker, Isaiah Lee.
"After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct," according to a statement from the District Attorney's Office.
Chappelle’s lawyer, Gabriel Colwell, spoke to the New York Post on behalf of Chappelle and shared how the Distrcit Attorney George Gascon’s decision to not charge Lee is a “travesty.”
"It's a travesty of justice that Gascón is refusing to prosecute this case as a felony," Colwell told the New York Post.
"The city attorney, who filed the case, is doing his job but DA Gascón should also do his job and charge this as a felony. Entertainers in LA need to know this is a justice system that will protect them. There is no question here that when someone is violently assaulted by another in possession of a deadly weapon that it should be charged as a felony."
Colwell also chatted with Rolling Stone, sharing the same sentiments.
“This is what Mr. Chappelle wants,” he began.
“Mr. Chappelle wants this case charged as a felony. Ten thousand people saw Dave Chappelle assaulted on stage at the Hollywood Bowl last Tuesday night, and the assailant had a deadly weapon on him. The fact that this isn't charged as a felony case by the DA is insane."
