During the screening Michael McPherson and his friend Lee Bates had thrown insults at Samir Hussain before following him out to the parking lot.
Back in September of 2015, Samir Hussain was doused with drain cleaner after a late night screening of Straight Outta Compton.
It wasn’t until February that Michael McPherson and Lee Bates pleaded guilty to committing the act, which was denoted as “common assault” by the local court system.
Bates, who didn’t throw the acid, was given a 2-year conditional discharge.
