Anything is better than jail time
The Canadian Pop Singer Justin Bieber was charged with a misdemeanor Wednesday morning by the Los Angeles County District attorney.
He will be paying $80,900 restitution due to the damage he caused to his former neighbor’s mansion by eggs he threw CNN reports.
Bieber accepted a plea deal to settle the vandalism case, but will be on probation for two years—which would be supervised until Bieber completes 12 weekly anger management sessions, works five days of community labor and pays the restitution told CNN.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Leland Harris said Bieber must report to his probation officer if he is deported or otherwise leaves the country.
Furthermore, a sheriff’s investigator suggested that the case should be prosecuted as a felony.
Assistant District Attorney Alan Yochelson begs to differ.
Yochelson called it “an extremely immature and silly act” that caused “incredible amount of damage” to what the neighbors considered their “dream house,” told CNN.
However, despite if the act was “silly”, CNN specified that the vandalism case is what lawyers call a “wobbler,” which means that the district attorney could have prosecuted it as a felony, and the results would have been much harsher for the pop singer.
Bieber is required to stay at least 100 yards way from the victim’s family.
