Left wing Hero Michael Avenatti Arrested for beating his wife.

Avenatti is entitled to due process, even if he is loathsome. What's he not entitled to is a sweetheart deal from the highly political LA DA's office. No doubt that's what he'll get though, the sort of headquarters special reserved for resistance thugs and dem pols. Republicans will complain briefly then drop the matter.

I was curious too, did some research.

The charge is suspicion of felony domestic violence.

The arrest and the booking are police actions. Those were done. Then the County Prosecutor takes the police report and all of the associated statements and relevant materials, weighs the veracity and merit, and determines if and what charges should be filed (if any). The Prosecutor determined that a felony charge was warranted. Then a hearing takes place before a judge where the prosecutor presents all the relevant material facts in the case known to date and the judge set Mr. Avenatti's bail at $50,000 - same as negligent manslaughter and incest.

There is a misdemeanor DV but this woman apparently took a fairly severe beating. This is a serious charge that carries jail time if convicted.

So, Mr. Avenatti has been booked and he has been charged. As the case is developed by the Prosecutor those charges might be dropped, downgraded, or additional charges might be filed before Mr. Avenatti's first Court arraignment.

So in other words, he's already been arrested, booked, and charged. The police, the prosecutor, and a bail judge all three concluded that based on what they knew to date that the charge met the threshold for probable cause and had merit.

I also found out that once the prosecutor's office has issued a domestic violence charge, the victim has no authority to drop the charges.

So, is he guilty ? We don't know. Does the Prosecutor think he has a case ? Yes. Did the judge at the bail hearing use his discretion to lower Mr. Avenatti's pre-trial disposition ? No, he set bail according to the schedule.

I did find it odd that bail was set, but don't know California's threshold for "suspicion of felony domestic violence". RNC already want the goods though, so we'll soon find out:

Oh, I guess bail is set before charges are brough in Cali; so there goes your theory:

The Arrest
When the police arrest someone (the defendant), they take him or her to jail.

Then, 1 of 3 things happens:

• The defendant is released if the prosecutor (usually the district attorney or the city attorney) decides not to file charges; or

• The defendant posts bail (also called a “bond”) or is released based on a promise to appear in court at a later date for arraignment. If either of these happen, the district attorney or police tell the defendant when to come to court for arraignment; or

• The defendant stays in jail. Law enforcement officers transport the defendant to the court for arraignment.

According to Michael Avenatti and Here4Money this official arrest and charging information from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is wrong.
