In 2021, he was sentenced after pleading no contest to two felony charges connected to the domestic violence involving Panettiere. The rest were dismissed due to the plea agreement.
Three days before Panettiere’s death, Hickerson appeared in Los Angeles court in an effort to have his felony charges reduced.
“On Aug. 13, the prosecution objected to the defense’s motion to expunge and reduce both counts,” a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told Fox News Digital. “The court denied both.”
Hickerson had tried to have the charges reduced once before, appearing in court on July 18, 2025, Fox News Digital confirmed.
