    We'<wbr>ll have more detai<wbr>ls comin<wbr>g on latim<wbr>es. com/<wbr>sport<wbr>s, but Jacks<wbr>on's plea deal will allow<wbr> him to avoid<wbr> jail time on the felon<wbr>y charg<wbr>e and pursu<wbr>e a likel<wbr>y July title<wbr> fight<wbr> again<wbr>st curre<wbr>nt light<wbr>-<wbr>heavy<wbr>weigh<wbr>t champ<wbr>ion Rasha<wbr>d Evans<wbr>.


    Jacks<wbr>on is requi<wbr>red to perfo<wbr>rm 200 hours<wbr> of commu<wbr>nity servi<wbr>ce, pay resti<wbr>tutio<wbr>n relat<wbr>ed to all six origi<wbr>nal count<wbr>s he faced<wbr> and conti<wbr>nue visit<wbr>ing with menta<wbr>l healt<wbr>h physi<wbr>cians<wbr>, with bimon<wbr>thly repor<wbr>ts requi<wbr>red to be filed<wbr> to the Orang<wbr>e Count<wbr>y distr<wbr>ict attor<wbr>ney.


    Jacks<wbr>on faced<wbr> a maxim<wbr>um three<wbr> years<wbr> in priso<wbr>n becau<wbr>se of the incid<wbr>ent, which<wbr> his attor<wbr>ney, in a state<wbr>ment,<wbr> said was "a brief<wbr> episo<wbr>de of delir<wbr>ium which<wbr> was react<wbr>ive to situa<wbr>tiona<wbr>l and metab<wbr>olic diffi<wbr>culti<wbr>es.
    "

    The felon<wbr>y count<wbr> still<wbr> leave<wbr>s Jacks<wbr>on subje<wbr>ct to 180 days in jail,<wbr> but a prose<wbr>cutor<wbr> said that if Jacks<wbr>on fulfi<wbr>lled his requi<wbr>remen<wbr>ts befor<wbr>e a Jan. 7, 2010,<wbr> sente<wbr>ncing<wbr>, the count<wbr> would<wbr> be dropp<wbr>ed and jail time avoid<wbr>ed.


    Do you think<wbr> he got off light<wbr> becau<wbr>se of his celeb<wbr>rity statu<wbr>s???

    maybe a little, but not much. Not sure what the exact felony charge is on Rampage, but I have a friend who got arrested for a DUI, and eluding a police officer. He got something similar. I think he was given six months house arrest, DUI classes, a hefty fine, lost his license, and probation until hell freezes over, but from what I remember he didn't do any jail time. Well besides the night he got arrested until he posted bail in the morning. He ain't a celebrity neither:lol:
