Once again it pays to be rich and stupid! Â I don’t know why these “punishments” are even released to the public to show how bad the legal system is. Â Joakim Noah should just pay this in pennies to make this more exciting.
Joakim Noah could have charges for possession of marijuana and drinking from an open container dropped, according to The Chicago Sun-Times.Â
Florida’s attorney office in Gainesville and Noah’s representatives reached terms on a deferred prosecution agreement on Wednesday.Â
“This is a program we have for first-time offenders charged with misdemeanors,” a representative from the office said.Â
Under terms of the deal, Noah must pay $50 for the cost of prosecution and make a $150 donation to Project Payback, a local charity. If he doesn’t violate any federal, state, or local laws in the next six months the charges will be dropped.Â
“Once you’ve completed the process, we drop the charges and complete the case,” the representative said. “It remains open until then.”
What a joke, he might as well do this every six months.
