Penn’s Paparazzo Scuffle Not A Felony
By WENNTuesday, November 10, 2009
SEAN PENN has won the first round of a legal battle with a paparazzo after prosecutors concluded he didn’t commit a felony by allegedly attacking the cameraman.
Jordan Dawes filed a battery report against Penn in October (09) after he reportedly kicked the photographer at the Brentwood Country Mart in California, reports EOnline.com.
But prosecutors working for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office decided on Monday (09Nov09) the Milk star’s actions didn’t constitute a felony.
The matter has now been passed on to authorities at the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office who will decide whether Penn should face misdemeanour charges.
