Paparazzi Melee Court Date Has Now Been Rescheduled to October

Two Malibu men who have been charged in connection with the infamous shoving match between paparazzi and local beachgoers at a Point Dume cove when local actor Matthew McConaughey was being photographed while he was surfing, have had their pre-trial date moved forward to Oct. 9.
Skylar Martin Peak and Philip John Hildebrand were never formally arrested but were subsequently charged with misdemeanor battery in the high profile scuffle.
The pair could be sentenced to a maximum of six months in jail and a $2000 fine if convicted, but since neither man has a prior offense, maximum sentencing is considered unlikely.
A paparazzo alleges that he and his photography equipment were thrown into the ocean by the defendants.
