Former Scandal star Columbus Short has pleaded not guilty to felony battery for a fight that seriously injured a man at a West Hollywood restaurant earlier this year.
Columbus appeared in court Wednesday for a brief arraignment hearing on the case filed after he was accused of punching a man at the restaurant in March.
The actor's attorney Jeff Jacquet had sought to fast-track the case, but Deputy District Attorney David Schorr said the injuries involved were too serious to qualify. He said Short is accused of cold-cocking a man, knocking him unconscious and fracturing his left eye socket. Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz said based on the injuries the case wasn't eligible for early disposition program, which could have settled the case before a preliminary hearing in which more details about the altercation would be disclosed. Hopes Columbus Short keeps his sanity through all the trouble he has been in lately.
