Trial in Alleged Paparazzo Beating Expected to Start This Week

Two Malibu men charged with scuffling with a paparazzo on a local beach were scheduled to go on trial on Tuesday, but the court date was rescheduled to Wednesday after The Malibu Surfside News went to press.
Philip Hildebrand and Skylar Peak are charged with misdemeanor battery after allegedly shoving a photographer who was taking photos of Malibuite Matthew McConaughey at the surf spot nearly two years ago.
A spokesperson at the Malibu courthouse said there were no jurors n the building when the proceeding was supposed to start and the trial went over to Wednesday when jury selection is scheduled to start.
