00:00I'm in front of the Van Nuys Courthouse, where Monday morning, comedian Carlos Mencina pled not guilty to all the
00:08fraud charges against him.
00:10You'll remember he was accused of not paying taxes on $8.7 million in earnings in a span of five
00:18years.
00:19His wife was in the courthouse to support him, along with other family members.
00:23After court, we caught up with his attorney, who told us that lock-up over the weekend had taken a
00:29toll on the comedian.
00:30You got to see your client back there. How's he doing?
00:34Very, very depressed. Very shell-shocked.
00:41It just didn't seem like what he did, which isn't right, but that it would warrant what happened here.
00:50It seems like it was just overkill, so to speak, to toss him in jail for such an extended period
00:58over a three-day holiday weekend.
