Last week things looked pretty bad for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards. The reality star pleaded not guilty to three misdemeanor charges: resisting arrest, public intoxication, and battery on a peace officer as a result of her April 16th arrest. While the charges against Kim hold some heavy repercussions including a maximum sentence of two years, six months in jail, it seems that things may be finally looking up for the reality star.
On Friday, AllAboutTRH learned that Kim got the break of a lifetime during her court hearing. While Kim wasn’t in court on Thursday, she was represented by her attorney Robert Shapiro. Shapiro informed the court that Kim is currently is seeking treatment in a residential rehab drug and alcohol program.
Then things turned around for Kim. when the Deputy District Attorney Leila Tahmassebi made Kim’s attorney an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Kim was given a deal that consists of three years probation, 30 days in jail or 30 days community labor, plus restitution. The plea deal also requires Kim to attend 52 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Also, the Deputy District Attorney also handed Kim’s legal team a DVD, which is rumored to be surveillance footage of Kim’s drunken meltdown.
I’m not shocked Kim didn’t get jail time because I never thought she would. Hopefully, this is the break Kim needs to get her life back in order. I think Kim’s family including her sisters Kathy and Kyle are all breathing a huge sigh of relief after Kim’s plea deal.
Thoughts on Kim’s plea deal? Are you shocked Kim won’t be spending any time in jail? Do you think Kim deserves to go to jail?
