Oh noooo say it ain’t so…..
My ex-NBA hubby(in my mind) Jalen Rose has been sent straight to jail without passing ‘GO’!!
Details HERE
According to reports, NBA analyst Jalen Rose has been sentenced to 20 days in jail for the March drunken-driving case in Detroit.
Despite support from Detroit’s Mayor and other prominent figures, requesting leniency on the former 13 year NBA star, Judge Kimberly Small still threw the book at him!
In May, Rose told the judge he drank six martinis before crashing his SUV along a snowy road in West Bloomfield Township.
He apologized in a brief statement after Wednesday’s hearing…….
I’m humbled, I’m embarrassed, and I’m very apologetic. I can assure everyone that nothing like this will ever happen again,” he said.
Judge Smalls went in on Rose for 15minutes before issuing her sentence……
I don’t think you have an alcohol problem, and I sincerely believe you when you say this will not happen again,” she said. “But there are issues of punishment and deterrence. The one thing that people never want — that they will hire expensive lawyers to avoid — is jail time. That’s why I believe it is the right punishment.”
Rose’s actual sentence is 92 days in jail and one year’s probation, but Small suspended 72 days of the sentence.
The maximum penalty for the charge is 93 days, but he received credit for the night he spent in jail after the crash.
He is scheduled to begin serving on Tuesday!
Guess I need to send my man some commissary money!
