Hayden Panettiere's father Harvey (I don't know if that's his name) has been charged with misdemeanor battery over a well-publicized incident earlier this year. Hayden herself tried to dismiss the thing as no big deal but apparently the cops don't agree. Harvey faces up to a year in jail if found guilty. I'm sure Hayden would be just distraught if her old man had to go in the slammer. She'd probably even fake a tear for the cameras.
