A Placer County Superior Court judge also ordered him to stay at least 100 yards away from his wife and children until further notice.

Artest's attorney, William Portanova, entered pleas of not guilty to charges of battery and corporal injury to a spouse, false imprisonment and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.

...Artest's only interaction with others in the courtroom came when a fellow defendant turned to Artest and said "good luck" as the hearing began.

John Carpenter, who lives in the Sacramento suburb of Roseville and was in court facing his own domestic violence charges, then gestured to Artest, holding out his fist. Artest responded with a fist pump.

Outside the courtroom, Artest, Portanova and a body guard left in a black Yukon SUV as seven protesters held signs and chanted the player should face even more charges -- for the alleged neglect of his dog.

Last month, county animal control officers seized Artest's Great Dane, Socks, because it wasn't being fed. The dog has since been released to the custody of one of his lawyers.

"He really shouldn't have animals," said Heather Ireland, a spokeswoman for the group.

Assistant District Attorney Dan Quick told the judge the county is still considering animal abuse charges.

:roll: like that's even close to what i meant. he's being charged with domestic violence and there are people actually protesting outside over a dog. not saying it's alright to starve a dog, but come on it's just a dog. would you take time out of your life to protest over one dog being starved?

I'm confused... he plead not guilty.... but apologized last week for his actions... so if he's not guilty, as he says, what the hell was he apologizing for? Poor Ron Ron,.. when will he learn to keep his mouth shut and his hands to himself...

See he knows he really gotta change. I mean fine if you don't get along with your child's mother so be it. But time away from your son or daughter that would drive me insane.
i have a 7 year old son and if I wasn't able to see him I would probably rather be dead .
