Comedian Dave Chappelle\u2019 lawyer says the comedian is unhappy with Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s decision not to file felony charges against the man who allegedly attacked him on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a travesty of justice that Gasc\u00f3n is refusing to prosecute this case as a felony,\u201d Gabriel Colwell told the New York Post on Friday. \u201cThe city attorney, who filed the case, is doing his job but DA Gasc\u00f3n should also do his job and charge this as a felony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloodstone\u2019s other hits include \u201cNever Let You Go\u201d, \u201cOutside Woman\u201d and \u201cMy Little Lady\u201d. Bloodstone was instrumental in the \u201cblack rock\u201d and funk movement of the 1970s, and even play<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colwell echoed those comments to Rolling Stone magazine, telling the publication: \u201cThis is what Mr. Chappelle wants. Mr. Chappelle wants this case charged as a felony. \u2026 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\u2019t charged as a felony case by the DA is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah Lee, 23, was charged Thursday by the Los Angeles City Attorney\u2019s Office with single misdemeanor charge 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 during which bail remained set at $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee is due back in court May 20 after pleading not guilty to the four misdemeanor counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier Thursday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office announced that it would not file any felony charges against Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct,\u201d according to a statement from the District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The office opted to refer the case to the City Attorney\u2019s Office, which handles misdemeanor prosecutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
