TORRANCE Lena Hernandez, who pleaded no contest last year to a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from an attack on an Asian American woman at the Del Amo Mall in Torrance in 2019, was back in court on May 10 to say that she could not comply with the sentence imposed on her.
Hernandez had been sentenced in a Torrance courtroom to serve 47 days in jail, to take 52 anger management sessions, and to be placed on three years of summary probation. On Monday, Hernandez said she was unable to pay for the sessions.
