Leonardo DiCaprio attacker pleads not guilty

Los Angeles: A woman accused of attacking Leonardo DiCaprio with a broken bottle at a Hollywood party in 2005 pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to assault with a deadly weapon.

Aretha Wilson, 40, is expected to return to court August 23 for a preliminary hearing. Wilson, who fled to Canada and was extradited to the United States to face the charge, remains in a California jail. DiCaprio, star of current hit movie ‘Inception,’ suffered "great bodily injury`" when Wilson attacked him with a broken beer bottle, according to an arrest warrant. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hilleri G Merritt previously issued a protective order requiring Wilson to stay at least 500 yards away from the actor and two witnesses to the alleged attack.
