If Trevor Bauer testifies at hearing, it could create problems for him, lawyers say

LA Times  

Trevor Bauer of the Dodgers throws out Jonah Heim of the Rangers on June 12 at Dodger Stadium. Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer could subject himself to significant legal liability by testifying at a hearing to consider whether a restraining order against him should remain in force, according to Los Angeles-area family law attorneys. When a woman accusing Bauer of choking her unconscious and injuring her during sexual encounters obtained a temporary restraining order last week, his representatives said they planned “to refute and defend him against the allegations at this hearing.” The hearing is scheduled for July 23. “It would be malpractice on our part,” she said, “not to ensure that our client was absolutely not going to be prosecuted.” Though Bauer’s attorneys could “refute and defend him against the allegations” at the hearing, their arguments would not be considered as evidence, veteran family law attorney Lynn Soodik said. Because a request for a restraining order is a civil action, Wolman said, Bauer’s attorneys could use the extra time to depose the woman, in the process buying time to see if the Los Angeles County district attorney decides to charge Bauer.
