Rose speaks – Celebrity and High Profile Trials

Yes I intentionally misspelled “pour” in the title.

This week on January 18, TMZ.com reported that Mel Gibson got hit with a $163,000 legal bill by the mother of his daughter, Lucia, Oksana Grigorieva’s lawyers. TMZ reported that attorney, Alan Shifman sent Gibson a bill to the tune of $163k for about one month of service in what is becoming a revolving doors of hearings with allegations flying.

Not to be out done RadarOnline.com covered an exclusive that L. A. county prosecutors are expected to charge Gibson with domestic violence following the allegation by Grigorieva that Gibson became violent on January 6, 2011. Grigorieva claims Gibson punched her twice in the head and broke two of her teeth as she held their one-year-old daughter Lucia during the January 6 domestic dispute

Reportedly criminal lawyer Blair Berk made her trip to the Los Angeles district attorneys office today to try to talk to the D. A. not to file charges and arrest Gibson on this recent volley of fire works between the two parents of Lucia. RadarOnline.com quotes unnamed sources that there was a reported two-hour meeting with Berk and Deputy District Attorney John Lynch at the Airport Courthouse.

Last week on January 12, after Gibson’s attorney leaked a story alleging that Oksana Grigorieva had been bribing a witness The accusation of bribing a witness was made by Mel Gibson’s legal team. That allegation was denied by Grigorieva’s attorneys.

RadarOnline.com article states that: “Law enforcement sources connected said before the meeting, that it was almost inevitable that Gibson, 55, would be charged. A charge of domestic violence/corporal injury involving a former cohabitant is looming for the Oscar-winning actor/director, sources said. It can be prosecuted as a felony or misdemeanor. If convicted of a felony, Mel Gibson could face up to four years in state prison; if convicted of a misdemeanor, he could face up to one year in county jail. While Berk made her bid, multiple sources, all with intimate knowledge of the situation, said the District Attorney had made its stunning decision in the last few days to prosecute the award-winning movie star.”

If Mel Gibson did in fact become violent and abusive with Grigorieva, and there is more evidence then just her testimony in the custody dispute, the district attorney will take another look at her allegations and if they decide to move on this Gibson will be hiring a whole new team of lawyers.

Like I said when it rains it pours in this ongoing saga of who did what to whom and on what day. Don’t you just love Hollywerid?
