Charles Barkley is Going to Jail
From Philly.com tonight:
Charles Barkley is going to jail. The Sixers legend pleaded guilty yesterday in an Arizona court to two counts of driving under the influence over a Dec. 31 incident, TMZ has reported.
Barkley was sentenced to 10 days in jail, but will only serve five if he completes an alcohol-education program. He must also pay a $2,000 fine before his sentence starts on March 21. Barkley, you may recall, amusingly told arresting officers that he had ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to receive oral sex from a woman whom he was picking up across the street. And speaking of blowing, the AP reports Sir Charles will be required to install a breathlyzer type ignition device on his cars.

I am glad that he told the truth. He made a mistake and was honest in admitting the mistake. We’ve all erred many times in our lives but we didn’t have the world watching as judge and jury. I think that he’ll do his time, learn from the situation, and move on, as we all should.
