Court Date Set For Ludwig Kaiser’s Motion To Dismiss Battery Case

Court records indicate that Ludwig Kaiser (real name Marcel Barthel) will have the hearing for the motion to dismiss his battery case on Monday, October 19.

The defense filed on July 28, notifying Assistant State Attorney Shaylynne Kotch of the hearing date.

Kaiser’s motion to dismiss was filed earlier this month and uses Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law to claim that he was justified in using the amount of force he used in the incident against the alleged victim.

On June 16, the defense filed a motion to gain access to surveillance video from the alleged battery incident involving Kaiser. This motion, unopposed by the state, asked the court to authorize a subpoena for the footage.

On June 25, Judge Andrew Cameron of Orange County, Florida, ruled on the matter and ordered the subpoena to be issued.

Ludwig Kaiser was arrested in May on a battery charge stemming from an incident in April where he allegedly punched a man in an elevator.

Kaiser, who portrays El Grande Americano in AAA, has continued to wrestle for WWE, notably competing in the mask vs. mask match against Chad Gable.
