January 2010 Archives

Another defendant was added to the case in which multiple celebrity houses were allegedly burglarized.  Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney David D. Diamond represents Roy Lopez who is accused if burglarizing Paris Hilton's home.  Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney David D. Diamond has denied those charges. 

Rachel Lee has been charged with felony burglary and receiving stolen property.

She  was charged on Wednesday, January, 13, 2010. She joins five other young men and women charged with burglaries at the homes of celebrities including Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson, Ashley Tisdale, Megan Fox and Audrina Patridge.

Ms. Lee turned herself in and was released after posting a $150,000 bail,  according to jail records.

She is charged with the burglaries of the homes of  Hilton, Lohan and Patridge.   Lee and Nicholas Prugo, who faces seven counts of first-degree burglary, have been accused by authorities of planning the crimes. 

Our Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney had to appear in court in the West District to resolve a case where the defendant was facing State Prison time for allegedly stealing a purse with thousands of dollars inside.  He has a prior conviction from about three months ago.  With a goal to humanize each case and help the prosecution understand the history of the defendant, our Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney received an offer of 180 days in County Jail. 

That same afternoon, our Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney traveled to the Ventura County Superior Court to resolve a case where the defendant was charged with 7 counts of fraud (false checks).  Mr. Diamond was able to speak to the victim who did not wish any criminal prosecution.  As the case moves forward, Mr. Diamond will try to get a dismissal of all criminal charges.
