Three of the six people who were charged on Monday with attempted second-degree murder in connection with the Friday night beating of a Waipahu man were indicted today on lesser charges.

Jeremiah Leota, 26, and Jimmy Robinson, 19, who allegedly beat the victim with a baseball bat, were each indicted on a charge of first-degree assault. Leota is also accused of deliberately running into the victim three times with a white Jeep.
Ana Lealiiee, 45, was indicted on a charge of second-degree assault for allegedly striking the 25-year-old victim with a beer bottle as he lay on the surface of Pupuole Street.
Charges were dropped against three others who were also charged on Monday with attempted second-degree murder in the case — Paulo Ioane, 20; Eliza Lealiiee, 19; and Jamel Leota, 25. Prosecutors yesterday declined to comment on the decision to drop charges against the three.
The victim told police the beating occurred after he approached a group of people and asked for a cigarette.
