On October 11, 2007, Judge J.P. Mauffray Jr. found that Bell had violated the terms of his probation for previous convictions. The judge then sentenced Bell to 18 months in a juvenile facility on two counts of simple battery and two counts of criminal destruction of property, and Bell was taken into custody. According to Walters, the matter was unrelated to the assault on Barker, and it was not even mentioned during the proceedings. Bell's attorney plans to appeal.[47]
Bell's retrial in the Barker assault is scheduled for December 6, 2007.[48]
