FOG BLOG U.S. ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: DAVE CHAPPELLE NOT HAPPY WITH D.A.s DECISION NOT TO BRING CHARGES!

Dave Chappelle is Not Happy DA Won't Charge Accused Onstage Attacker With Felony "Entertainers in LA need to know this is a justice system that will protect them," Dave Chappelle's lawyer said over the weekend. his lawyer says the comedian is unhappy with Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón's decision not to file felony charges against the man who allegedly attacked him on stage.

"It's a travesty of justice that Gascón is refusing to prosecute this case as a felony,'' Gabriel Colwell told the New York Post on Friday. "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 echoed those comments to Rolling Stone magazine, telling the publication: "This is what Mr. Chappelle wants. 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.''

Isaiah Lee, 23, was charged Thursday by the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office with single misdemeanor counts of battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault, unauthorized access to the stage area during a performance and commission of an act that delays an event or interferes with a performer. He appeared in court Tuesday for a bail review hearing at which bail remained set at $30,000.
