Jail time for ESPN analyst/former NBA star Jalen Rose as the court sentenced him to serve 20 days behind bars stemming from the March 2011 DUI arrest in Michigan.
During the incident, the 38-year-old Rose is with a female companion and he was driving along an icy roadway when he lost control of his car and crashed. Rose voluntary performed several voluntary sobriety test but he failed and was eventually arrested. He plead guilty back in May.
Jalen Rose's lawyer doesn't agree with the court decision and he called it as an "abuse of discretion."
Attorney Keith Davidson tells TMZ, "The 20-day jail sentence issued today by this Michigan judge is outrageous."
He adds, "Today we saw a horrendous example of judicial temperament and discretion."
Rose has no prior criminal record and despite pleas for leniency from several prominent figures including Detroit mayor Dave Bing, the Michigan judge still delivered his jail time sentence to Rose.
The said sentenced also includes a year of probation.
It seems the judge used Jalen Rose as her example to drivers not to drink and drive or else!!!.
