Kiefer Sutherland to spend 48 days in jail (but not all at once)
If I ever get arrested for drunk driving (which will never happen), I would like prosecutors and defense attorneys to come to an agreement where I can split my 48 days in jail into two different blocks of time, so I can blog all day long and watch a lot of TV shows I might otherwise miss.
That's what's going to happen to 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. He's going to jail for DUI for 48 days (not the 30 we reported the other day), but those days will be split up so it doesn't interfere with the production of the FOX show. He'll serve 18 days, then go back to filming the show, then serve the remaining days after production is over (he has to complete the 48 days by July 1).
So, readers, I ask: is this going overboard to accomodate a celebrity? Or is it actually OK because there's no sense in screwing up an expensive show that employs a lot of people and as long as he serves the time who cares when it is?
