Posted on Aug 17, 2010 @ 09:26PM
RadarOnline.com has confirmed the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department plans to turn over Mel Gibson's domestic violence case to prosecutors within days.
The Sheriff's department has all but completed its investigation into the claims the Oscar-winning actor/director assaulted Oksana Grigoreiva, while she was holding their infant daughter Lucia.
Steve Whitmore, spokesperson for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department told RadarOnline.com, "that's the plan," when asked if the case file would be presented to the District Attorney's Office this week.

As RadarOnline.com has reported, the probe is centered on three possible offenses -- domestic violence, child endangerment and assault with a deadly weapon.
They're also considering charging Oksana with extortion, based on statements from the Lethal Weapon star.

The D.A. has had extensive involvement during the investigation and it’s understood the Sheriff will not make any recommendations as to whether Mel or Oksana should be charged with any crime.
Instead, that decision rests with Deputy District Attorney, John Lynch, who is the head of the Los Angeles Airport branch.

Mel’s highly publicized rants to Oksana, his one-time lover and the mother to his illegitimate child, were obtained by cops as part of their investigation and reviewed by forensic detectives.
Oksana told RadarOnline.com she taped the phone calls with Mel because he threatened to kill her.

In one key piece of dialogue, Oksana asked Mel “what kind of a man” would hit “a woman when she’s holding a child in her hands... breaking her teeth twice in the face.”
To which the 54-year-old star responded, “Oh, you’re all angry now! You know what, you f* cking deserved it!”

What Mel said was vulgar and angry, but what she has done is so over-the-top destructive in leaking the tapes, questionable pictures, and story after story for her personal profit. She is ruthless and relentless.

hopefully, John Lynch (the deputy DA) has a spine.

I woke up this morning - just about noontime - took two shots of whiskey, and asked myself, 'how can I support an adulterer/alcoholic/woman beater/drunk driver/racist and child abuser?' Answer: post positive comments of Mad Mel!! WAKE UP "TEAM MEL".

They WILL wake up - once Mel stops paying for their services. It's really that simple.

Word is they are going to charge him with domestic battery. I can't wait. This man has been this way for decades. It's time to make him pay. That way when he moves on to the next victim he's already got a nice record.

You're right smooch. He will be prosecuted. No doubt about it.

I hope they throw the book at him, literally.

More than likely they will throw the book back at Oksana. Given her prior history of problems and the extortion issues...let's hope she likes prison wear.

What prior history of problems? You mean like DUIs, racist and sexist rants, years of cheating on one's spouse, and slapping his kids around? Yeah, she's a real case and Mel is so innocent. Who the hell are you, Tulip, Mel's dad?

Well said, Middleton.
