DA Asks Ex-RHOC Star Josh Waring’s Motion To Dismiss Attempted Murder Case Be Denied
- 6 years ago
The district attorney in Orange County calls ex-Real Housewives of Orange County star Josh Waring’s request for dismissal of his attempted murder case “wrong," claiming recorded telephone calls in question are “unconfidential and unprivileged,” according to court documents exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com.
In June 2016, the former reality star was charged with attempted murder after allegedly opening fire on three people and shooting one in Costa Mesa and leading cops on a car chase before being captured.
The telephone calls in question took place when Waring, who is former 'RHOC' alumna Lauri Peterson’s son, was acting as his own attorney.
“Defendant argues that the simple recording of his collect phone calls involving unprivileged conversations with his father, mother, grandma and girlfriend while defendant was in pro per" — or handling his own case — "was the result of ‘outrageous government conduct’ for which he is entitled to a dismissal of his case,” read the documents.
Waring has claimed his innocence in the case, telling Radar that despite his troubled past, including drug arrests, his mom stands by him.
“My mom knows I am innocent and she knows I am not perfect and I have a drug problem and I have had my faults and weaknesses," Waring said. "But she has also said, ‘You don’t understand, this isn’t him. If it was drugs, there would be a 99 percent chance it’s true. But not this.’”
