This is his 4th? I hate to say it, but if found guilty, he'll lose his license and do some time for this. That's the way it goes.
Four convictions is pretty heavy duty. He could have his license pulled for a year and face a jail sentence of the same length. Not too mention, he'll be paying steep fines, which won't be a problem for him. Lately, the courts have not been too kind to celebrity lawbreakers. Judges have been sick and tired of their cases clogging the legal system and the celebs get away with a slap on the wrist, while the ordinary Joe or Jane gets the book thrown at them.
But...then again, it's what happens after the initial arrest that could make a difference in a judge's demeanor at sentencing, too. Mel Gibson was pretty contrite. I think he'd had prior arrests for the same thing, and I don't think he served time.
Then, there was Paris Hilton. No priors, to what I believe. Buuuuut...she turned around and drove on a suspended license, twice! I think that's what got her thrown in the pokey!
It will also depend on how far over the legal limit Kiefer was....Any is too much, obviously, but extenuating circumstances can come into play in a judges decision.
I am probably going to get so flamed for this-
Kiefer got off easy. 48 days in the Glendale jail is a cakewalk. I am so tired of seeing celebs get off easy for acts that anyone else would really have to do REAL time for. 4th offence- He should have pulled it together way before now.
At least no one died because of what he did- 5 years ago a drunk driver ran a stop sign & smashed into another car. He hit the other vehicle so hard that he pushed the car onto someones lawn & thru the side of a house- the police estimated he was going 90mph in a residential neighborhood 2 blocks from a school. The DUI driver was not injured at all He was sober enough to get out of his car & look in at the people in the other vehicle & then he ran off.
A woman who was 8 months pregnant DIED the baby she was carrying DIED her husband who was driving DIED- her two children who were seatbelted in the back seat recieved minor injuries and they had another brother at home with a relative. Heres all I can find now about the incident:
On Thursday in Salinas, 30-year-old Shavougue Antoine Mason allegedly ran a stop sign at more than 60 mph and broadsided a BMW carrying a young couple and their two sons. The parents, Rene Porras, 31, and Rosalinda Porras, 25, were killed while their two sons in the car were treated for minor injuries. Another son was not in the car.
Mason was in Monterey County Jail Friday in lieu of $1 million bond, authorities said.
They decided not to charge the guy with murder for the unborn baby-
The husband died instantly & the mother died knowing he was dead. I still get upset when I think of the two kids that were in the car with them.
Maybe it rankles me because I witnessed that accident. I dont care if Kiefer or some other guy who isnt famous gets behind the wheel of a car while drunk, Its Russian Roulette & I certainly would not be lenient if any celeb smashed into my car & killed my family while driving drunk, so why are the courts lenient-
Remember back in the 90's when Vince Neil killed Razzle (drummer for Hanoi Rocks) while driving drunk- He got like 100 hours of community service, where is the justice in that?
