    Can any of the board's lawyers explain the difference between misdemeanor and felony assault? This seems bad, but not enough to warrant a felony charge, at least to my layman's eyes.

    The burden of proof is pretty low these days, this is all her word versus his...not sure anyone would convict a guy on that.

    telling you if gogi was in la or ny he would be on his way to the hof by the treatment they get by the media. Anyways, i guess these were the "personal problems" he had been dealing with.

    Misdemeanor Assault and Felony Assault

    Normally, simple assault that results in minor injury is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by not more than 1 year in a county jail and/or a fine of not more than $4,000. However, prosecutors can bump it up to a third-degree felony – 2 to 10 years in a Texas prison and/or a fine of not more than $10,000 – in some cases.

    If you are charged with simple assault, it can become a third-degree felony if the state proves that you:

    1) Committed the assault against a family member or someone with whom you are in a romantic relationship, and you have a previous domestic violence conviction.

    2) Knew the person was a public servant or government contractor carrying out official duties, or you committed the assault on a public servant in retaliation for doing his job.

    3) Knew the person was a security guard or emergency services worker, and you committed the assault while the person was doing his job.

    When the assault involves only touching or threatening, it’s a Class C misdemeanor, for which the penalty is a fine of up to $500. But the criminal charge can become more serious under some circumstances with aggravating factors. For example, the assault becomes a Class A misdemeanor if the victim is elderly, and becomes a Class B misdemeanor if the victim is a sports official.

    If you read the article, it says it happened when he was with the Rockets. Nice Try.

    This is ridiculous. dude is a scrub. i swear to god, any journey man or bench warmer who has a good game or two with the Lakers, all of a sudden they've found a diamond in the rough.

    Dude has no court vision, poor hands and horrible footwork. Oh, and he doesn't even play here anymore? get real, y'all.
