Chad Reeves and Reese Hopkin were found “Not Guilty” by a jury after a 4 week trial where they were charged with Battery Causing Serious Injury and Personal Infliction of Serious Injury. The case was sparked by video that went viral which captured only the end of the fight. After the video went viral it was featured on TMZ as well as local and national news agencies.

LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In the late afternoon hours of May 22, 2025, in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, the Honorable Judge Craig Richman presiding, the jury in People v. Chad Reeves and Reece Hopkin, Case No. BA513971, after a three week criminal jury trial issued a verdict of “Not Guilty”, acquitting Chad Reeves and Reece Hopkin of Battery causing Serious Injury. Reece Hopkin was also acquitted of Vandalism.

According to case documents, the case stemmed from allegations that after the Elton John Concert at approximately 11:00 p.m. in the Dodger Stadium Parking lot, the defendants beat a 63 year old Jaime Grenfell and his wife Lillian Grenfell. The Vandalism charged in Count II was based on an allegation that Mr. Hopkin threw a bystander’s phone who was recording them after the incident.

Defense attorneys Glen Jonas, Raffi J. Manuelian and Dilan Patel countered that Mr. Reeves defended both himself and a woman named Jessica Santi, who were attacked by the alleged victim Jamie Grenfell. Additionally, attorrneys argued Reece Hopkin entered the melee finding his wife Lindsay Hopkin being beaten and choked by Lillian Grenfell, forcing him to defend her. The defense attorneys further argued that Jamie Grenfell was attempting to renew his attack when Mr. Hopkin punched Mr. Grenfell one time in the face knocking him unconscious thereby neutralizing the threat of further imminent harm.

Defense counsel argued at trial that the viral video was edited cutting out the portion of the video where Mr. Grenfell attacked Mr. Reeves and Ms. Santi before it was sent to TMZ and other media outlets

Defense counsel argued the cell phone owner that recorded the group as they sought sanctuary in a nearby limousine, tried to extort $5000 from the defendants. Additionally, defense counsel argued that witnesses Diana Reeves and Dan Santi were never charged but falsely accused by the same witness at the urging of the Grenfells.

Defense Attorney Glen Jonas had this comment about the case, “These two innocent men Mr. Reeves and Mr. Hopkin were falsely prosecuted by a District Attorney’s office that refused to look at the case objectively. This case was filed by the George Gascón administration. Mr. Gascón was well known for consistently prosecuting victims of crimes as defendants while setting the actual criminals free. DA Hochman is doing a much better job, but he needs to pay closer attention to these older cases where George Gascón turned our county upside down. I expect better from our District Attorney’s office and I hope that these older cases will be re-reviewed before more innocent men and women are brought to trial unnecessarily.”

Defense attorneys Glen Jonas, Raffi J, Manuelian, Dilan Patel, and paralegal Liliana Monroy are grateful to Judge Craig Richman, his court staff, and the jury for their hard work on this matter. If you need further information call Glen Jonas (213)683-2033.

The facility includes seating for over 1,000 people, clean sanitation units, drinking water stations, a snack kiosk, a feeding room for mothers, and a covered walkway to meeting rooms

PUNE, India, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cybage Foundation, the CSR arm of Cybage Software Pvt. Ltd., today inaugurated a newly constructed, fully equipped waiting area for families visiting inmates at the historic Yerwada Central Jail in Pune. This visitor welfare initiative is rooted in Cybage’s belief that every human deserves dignity, especially those quietly enduring emotional hardship on the sidelines of imprisonment.

This visitor facility marks a quiet yet powerful transformation in how society can treat the invisible, those who endure without voice or recognition. From mothers carrying toddlers to elderly parents making long journeys, these families now have access to safe, clean, and dignified infrastructure that respects their emotional and physical struggles.

“This is not just a structure of brick and mortar; it is a space built with empathy and a deep understanding of silent suffering. Every day, families, many from remote villages, make long, emotionally draining journeys to visit their loved ones behind bars. For years, they have waited in the open, exposed to the sun, rain, and judgment. With this initiative, we wanted to say: ‘You are seen, you are valued, and you deserve dignity.’ At Cybage Foundation, our focus has always been to channel our CSR efforts toward real, measurable, and humane impact. This project reflects that belief, to fill the silent gaps that most do not think to address,” said Ritu Nathani, Head of Cybage Foundation and Board Director, Cybage Software Pvt. Ltd.

The facility includes seating for over 1,000 people, clean sanitation units, drinking water stations, a snack kiosk, a feeding room for mothers, and a covered walkway to meeting rooms. The new space also includes a legal consultation room and organized registration counters to streamline visitor movement. Cybage Foundation led the end-to-end development of the project under its CSR program, working closely with jail authorities and local government departments.

Mr. Sunil Dhamal, Superintendent of Prison, Yerwada Central Prison, Pune, welcoming the effort as a landmark collaboration, said, “Families who come here often carry emotional pain that no one sees. This facility, though modest in structure, will go a long way in easing their experience. We thank Cybage Foundation for this act of meaningful compassion.”

Yerwada Central Jail, steeped in history and legacy, now becomes home to a project that represents the future of humane infrastructure. With over 3.5 lakh annual visitors expected to benefit, this waiting area is a testimony to what happens when compassion meets action.
