  Santa Monica High School Student Victim to Hate Crime
Posted By Admin
An alleged racial incident that took place at Santa Monica High School is being investigated by Santa Monica police. An African American student claims that some of his fellow wrestling team members chained him to a locker and hung a noose around a brown wrestling dummy.  He also informed police that those teammates made racially charged comments to him.

The alleged incident was recently reported to the Santa Monica Police Department on June 21, but the actual incident allegedly happened over a month ago. The student's mother, Victoria Gray, reported it to police. She was upset because she was never made aware of the situation by the school and didn't find out about it until May 31, when she heard it from another parent. Sgt. Richard Lewis said that the students could face charges of assault and battery, and that the racial nature of the incident could be considered a hate crime.

According to police reports, the student walked into the school's wrestling room on May 4 and found a brown practice mannequin with a noose tied around its neck. When he went to the locker room to change, two students restrained him in a bear hug and used a cable and lock to chain his pants to a locker. The students allegedly made racial remarks. 

Principle Hugo A. Pedroza sent an email to parents on June 16 stating that it was a "serious matter that warranted a swift and appropriate response." He also said that the students accused "were given appropriate disciplinary consequences, including suspension."  The entire wrestling team received sensitivity training and a workshop will be given at freshman orientation on racial sensitivity, bullying and hazing. 

If you or a loved one is being accused of assault and battery it is important to know the possible penalties those charges carry. These penalties depend on whether the charge is considered a misdemeanor or felony. It is also very important to have appropriate legal representation that can guide you through the process and help you get the best possible outcome for your unique case.   Contact the  Hedding Law Firm today. We have a combined 75 years of experience and are well equipped to help you resolve your matter. Our consultations are free and confidential.

  Lenny Dykstra - Charged With Drug and Theft Crimes & Faces 12 Years in State Prison
Posted By Admin

A few months ago, former Major League Baseball player Lenny Dykstra, 48, was charged with bankruptcy fraud for selling belongings from his $18.5 million mansion after he had filed for bankruptcy in 2009.

On Monday June 6, 2001, Lenny Dykstra was charged with grand theft auto and drug possession by prosecutors who claim he used phony information to lease a car from a Southern California dealership.

He was charged with 25 misdemeanor and felony counts of grand theft auto, attempted grand theft auto, identity theft and other drug crimes.

His accountant and a friend were charged in connection with the alleged auto theft.

Prosecutors assert that the three men tried to lease high-end cars from dealers this year by providing phony information and claiming credit through a phony business called Home Free Systems.

Two dealerships rejected the lease applications but a third allowed the men to drive off with three cars.

Police who arrested Dykstra on April 14 found cocaine, Ecstasy and the synthetic human growth hormone Somatropin at his San Fernando Valley home.

Dykstra made a statement to the newspaper stating, "Of course I'm not guilty, the car got stolen alright - stolen by them. I don't have it anymore. It's gone like my computer, my phone, my clothes."

That may have been a reference to Dykstra's financial woes.

Dykstra spent 12 years in the big leagues and helped the Mets to the World Series championship in 1986. He was a three-time All-Star in the 1990s while with the Phillies.

He now faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted.
