Mel Gibson will be front and center in court when the plea bargain is announced Friday afternoon.
TMZ broke the story … Mel will plead no contest to simple battery, a lesser charge than corporal injury on a spouse. Although battery is a misdemeanor, under the law, since it involves “a person with whom the defendant is cohabiting” and “a person who is the parent of the defendant’s child,” Mel must appear in person.
