Anyone Want To Roll The Dice?
When Naomi Campbell plead guilty today to two counts of assaulting a police officer; one of using threatening, abusive words or behavior to cabin crew; and one of using insulting, abusive, threatening behavior or disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, I said to myself I wonder if there is someone out in the world who would be willing to do the exact same thing to some cops and see if they get the same sentence as Naomi Campbell. Somehow I think the person trying would be in jail for quite sometime.
Naomi on the other hand gets another slap on the wrist, an admonishment from the court and several dates with the judge. No, I don;t think there will be any dates. Do you? So what kind of sentence did Naomi get?
200 hours community service and fined $4,500.
That's it. No probation, no nothing. Go run some fashion shows for poor kids and she is done. If we tried to do something like this we would probably still be in solitary confinement with the police returning the favor once each hour like clockwork. Meanwhile Naomi is free to do it all again. This really isn't a punishment at all. She could have received six months in jail for each charge and a $10,000 fine for each charge.
I will say this though. I believe she is still a UK citizen. She has now been convicted of a crime in the UK that would ban "everyday people" from getting a visa to the US to work for sure and to visit maybe. I'm not sure how much money she actually makes in the US each year, but if she is treated like everyone else she won't be working in the US again for a very long time.
