In August 2013, Chahal was charged by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office with
47 counts of domestic violence. Chahal pleaded not guilty to the charges and posted $1 million
bail. The prosecutors alleged Chahal “hit and kicked” his girlfriend 117 times over a half-hour
period August 5, 2013.[20] The District Attorney’s Office has said they have acquired video
evidence of the alleged domestic violence.[21] Chahal’s attorney argued that “the prosecutors
were making too much of the argument between Chahal and his girlfriend because of Chahal’s high
profile.” [22] His attorney said that Chahal’s girlfriend provided “photographic proof of an
unblemished complexion to the SFPD and filed an affidavit requesting the investigation be
terminated.”[23][24]

On April 2, 2014, a judge ruled that the video the SFPD obtained from Chahal’s apartment
could not be used as evidence in his trial. Police said the video showed Chahal hitting his
girlfriend 117 times. Chahal’s video security system included cameras throughout the
apartment, including two in the bedroom where the alleged attack occurred, according to police.[25]

On April 16, 2014, following a plea bargain, Charhal pled guilty to one charge of domestic
violence battery and one charge of battery. He was sentenced to three years probation, a 52-week domestic violence training course, and
25 hours of community service. Prosecutors cited a lack of cooperation from the victim in
the case as leading to the plea bargain.[26]

Translation: the wealthy DemonRat perp paid a sufficient bribe to the victim to ensure her silence.

War on women, indeed.

Chahal is living proof that the Democrat Party’s continuing War On Women considers that attempted First Degree Murder of a close personal female friend by a high-tech Obama donor does not rise to the level of punishment due to a more serious crime, such as the recent perceived racist slight by AG Holder, a MALE Democrat in good Party standing, of course.

Did I mention that Holder has been a well-paid lawyer, back in the day?

In Holder’s current day job, criminal punishment is not that important anymore - - - .

BTW, compare the number of TV minutes that the Democrat’s Left Wing Media will spend on these two “stories” in April and May.

BTW, BTW, will that help prove that the Democrat Party Members find that what one says is more important than what one does?
