In his plea agreement, Joseph Benza III (36) admitted that he was responding to a domestic violence call in Whittier when he saw E.B. drive by and extend his middle finger – an expression that is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.


"The victim of the assault, a 23-year-old man identified in court documents as “E.B.,” who weighed about half as much as Benza, suffered a concussion, contusions and abrasions."
