LIVE: Mel Gibson Expected To Plead 'No Contest' To Misdemeanor Battery - Watch It Here!

LEGAL DOCUMENT: Mel Gibson Officially Charged With Battery

In exchange for Gibson's 'no contest' plea to the simple battery charge, he is not expected to serve any jail time.

According to Gibson's attorney Blair Berk, the father-of-eight has decided to take this route out of respect to his kids.

"I know from almost 20 years as a criminal defense lawyer that sometimes justice can come for a client at too high a personal price," Berk said in a statement Wednesday. "That is particularly so for Mel, whose right to due process can only be exercised in this case with an enormous media circus attached."

In another chilling exchange, Grigorieva told Gibson, "You were hitting a woman with a child in her hands. You! What kind of a man is that, hitting a woman when she's holding a child in her hands?

"Breaking her teeth, twice, in the face," Grigorieva said. "What kind of man is that?"

"You know what, you f------ deserved it!" Gibson said. "I'll put you in a f------ rose garden, you c---. You understand that? Because I'm capable of it. You understand that? Get a f------ restraining order. For what? What are you gonna get a restraining order for? For me being drunk and disorderly? For hitting you? For what?"

Gibson's career has also sputtered in the wake of the bad publicity, as he's only had one film released since the July 2006 incident, 2010's Edge of Darkness, which drew a mediocre $43 million at the box office. A cameo role in The Hangover 2 (which could have signaled Hollywood's acceptance of Gibson post-Oksana scandal) was overwhelmingly nixed by cast and crew, as Liam Neeson would get the role instead.
