    Jason doesn't have to have a lawyer for this. The guy will be tried by "the state" because it was a criminal act. Jason can file a civil suit against him if the hospitalization, surgery, and/or injuries/scar result in a loss of income or some other monetary loss, but I doubt he'll go that route.

    To be fair, are we ever likely to hear anything bad about one of the actors personalities anyway, even if they are a bit of a <Snip>?

    True, we're not likely to, but from what I've seen and heard from him in person, he's very easy going, doesn't take himself seriously, and has a very "live and let live" attitude. *shrugs* He could turn into a poop at times, but who doesn't? I've behaved badly before, but I've never been assaulted.

    I think that's the crux of it. Even if he is a <Snip> (which, BTW, in my own experience, he's not) what does that matter? There is never any excuse for glassing somebody. Ever.

    Nope. It's damaging and potentially lethal. No excuse.

    Man sentenced for assaulting ‘Stargate Atlantis’ star Jason Momoa

    A 22-year-old man from Venice, CA pleaded no contest today to one count of assault, stemming from a 2008 fight with actor Jason Momoa. Momoa is best known for his roles as Jason Ioane in Baywatch Hawaii and as Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis. He's also the father of two children with former Cobsy kid Lisa Bonet.

    According to the District Attorney's office, Dominic Bando got into a verbal altercation back in November with the actor at the Bird Cafe in Los Angeles. Bando hit Momoa in the face with a pint beer glass. Momoa needed 140 stitches during reconstructive surgery.

    Bando was given a five-year state prison term

    5 is a normal number. Too much more and it may seem like the punishment doesn't fit the crime. You don't give long prision sentences for an assualt. If anything I thought 5 was a little high

    Thanks for the update. I'm GLAD the punk got 5 years. Maybe he'll think twice before he brandishes a weapon (which in this case was a heavy glass, but hey, it caused a lot of damage ) Poor Jason's still concerned about how his eye looks.

    Thanks for the update. Five years, good. I think some restitution would not be out of line. Restitution to Jason to pay for the medical bills.

    I doubt it. Stitches aren't exactly a huge medical cost

    In the US yes. That is why Obama is trying to change things.

    Five years seems really steep to me, but then I don't know all the background, I don't know if this was an "out-of-blue" attack, I don't know if the man had any other convictions or such...

    Re: Obama (this is all I'll say)
    Spoiler:
    Ah, but would it be covered? It's cosmetic, not life-threatening...


    The man was out on parole, IIRC. For a weapons violation.

    Thanks for the good times!

    If you have medical insurance.... anyway, he saw a plastic surgeon, from what I recall. Not cheap. And his face IS his business. And smashing someone in the face with a glass mug is damned dangerous.

    I doubt plastic surgery would be covered under any new government medical plan, not unless it impair vision, eating or something like that that would eventually cost even more money.

    5 years is steep, but the bottle could have cost Jason his acting career or even his life. A broken glass can cut just like a knife. He got Jason in the face, the neck and jugluar isn't that far away.

    And insurance companies can be petty. Saw a story recently of a woman who had half her face shot off with shotgun. Insurance companies consider reconstruction of face so she can breath normally to be 'cosmetic.' *headdesk* but they cover crap like Viagra!

    Anyway, glad Jason didn't lose an eye or anything. And five years for aggravated assault? Do the crime, do the time. Period.

    Yes they can, just like any company or organization tends to behave when keeping costs down is one of the main measurements of success for a company.
    I have had quite the opposite experience, where the insurance companies have really gone out of their way to help.

    I agree. Chances are the guy won't do a full five years anyway.
