Headline: Nicolas Cage's son Weston avoids jail for assault on mother
Caption: The news comes during a hearing to try to resolve two felony assault charges alleging he "snapped" and violently attacked his mother at his apartment complex last year. The Los Angeles County judge said at the hearing, ”Mr Cage does suffer from an eligible mental health disorder. I'm satisfied it was a significant factor in the commission of the charged offences. It's obvious he was suffering a breakdown at the time.” Weston's lawyer revealed his client had received intensive inpatient and outpatient treatment following the incident in April last year.
