Mel Gibson Escapes Jail And Accepts Plea Deal

Mel Gibson has escaped serving jail time because he agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors in his domestic violence case, he will plead guilty to misdemeanor battery of Oksana Grigorieva and he will escape going to jail.

Mel will attend court on Friday where he will plead not guilty to simple battery, he is said to believe that if he did fight the case he would win but since he wants “protect” his loved ones he decided to accept the deal. Blair Berk, Mel’s lawyer, released a statement saying:

“I know from almost 20 years as a criminal defense lawyer that sometimes justice can come for a client at too high a personal price. That is particularly so for Mel, whose right to due process can only be exercised in this case with an enormous media circus attached. Mel’s priority throughout all of this has been that the best interests of his young daughter Lucia and the rest of his children be put first in any decisions made. It is with only that in mind that he asked me to approach the District Attorney with a proposal that would bring all of this to an immediate end.”

So let me get this if you decide to beat on your loved one and then plead not guilty to “simple batter” you can pretty much get away with it. This is sending such a good message to people out there. The only punishment that Mel is likely to get is maybe a few classes on domestic abuse. What a world we live in.
