Dave Chappelle’s Attacker Isaiah Lee Pleads Not Guilty And His Bail Is Set At $30,000
Dave Chappelle can laugh about his attack at the Hollywood Bowl earlier this week. But his attacker, a young guy named Isaiah Lee, couldn’t. Lee appeared in court on Friday, and TMZ reports that he appeared to be in bad shape.
A public counsel informed the judge that the defendant’s right arm was in a sling and that he had fractured it during the Hollywood Bowl beating. Lee got stretched out after his attack on the comic.
Lee’s bail is set at $30,000. If he can pay it off, he’ll be with a protective order that mandates him to “stay at least 100 yards away from the Hollywood Bowl, Dave, and any other venue at which the comedian performs.”
Dave Chappelle stated that he urged security at Tuesday’s event to let him meet with his attacker before he got dragged away so he could get some answers. According to reports, the young man stated that he hoped to obtain “attention for his grandmother who he said she got forced out of her neighbourhood because of gentrification.”
Lee’s felony charges got dismissed by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon. Who referred the case to the City Attorney. And charged him with assault with a weapon and unlawful entrance to the stage area during a performance.
Lee faces up to 18 months in county jail if convicted, though it’s probable he’ll serve less.
