The D.A.’s office declined to file felony charges against the man who attacked Dave Chappelle.
The D.A.’s office turned the case over to the city attorney who felt similarly about charging Lee with a felony. LAPD pushed for a felony when they turned over their findings of the investigation but the D.A. pushed back. There’s also tension between L.A. County D.A. George Gascón and the LAPD because he’s decided against filing felony charges in cases where they are typically filed.
While Dave has gone on to crack jokes about the attack, the brother of the Isaiah Lee told Rolling Stone that he was caught off guard by the news.
“I don’t have anything negative to say about Isaiah. He’s a performing artist who tries to stay as positive as possible. He does have a history of mental health issues. He does take medicine. Maybe he missed out on taking his prescription. But he’s not the type to just lash out. I don’t understand,” Aaron Lee said.
We’ll keep you posted on any updates surrounding the incident.
