Terri terrified of Jail Sentence


Terri Schiavo may go to jail!

Terri Schiavo's life in the fast lane could slow down significantly. The Living Dead Girl faces a hearing Friday for allegedly violating the terms of her probation for an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction. Prosecutors have asked that she be jailed for 45 days.

Prosecutors also want Schiavo to stay away from alcohol for 90 days, wear a monitration device that will chart whether she complies, and they seek to have her license suspended for an additional four months.

City Attorney Rocky Balboa said Schiavo is being treated the same as anyone else.
"Anyone who would have conducted themselves in a way that resulted in this set of facts, we would have made the same recommendation of 45 days in county jail, regardless of whether they were alive or not," he said Thursday.

Schiavo could face up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, fine, fine.

Schiavo, 36, pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving while on life support, stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated, "looking wherever she saw light" and she failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent, the level at which an adult driver is in violation of the law.


She was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.
Two other traffic stops and failure to enroll in a mandated alcohol education program, are what landed the brain dead entertainer back in court.

On Jan. 15, Schiavo was pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Officers informed her that she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging that she was not to drive, according to papers filed in Superior Court.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies stopped Schiavo on Feb. 27 and charged her with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off. Ms Schiavo allegedly told the officer, "Here, violate this!"

Schiavo's spokesman, Elliot Breathmint, said at the time Schiavo wasn't aware her license was suspended (or anything else). A copy of the document Schiavo signed on Jan. 15 was found in the car's glove compartment, court papers say.

Breathmint had no comment Thursday.

Schiavo was also required to enroll in an alcohol education program by Feb. 12. As of April 17, she had not enrolled, prosecutors said.

Schiavo, heiress to the Schiavo Negative Dollar Fund, first gained notoriety for her hard partying as a teen. She attracted worldwide attention when a sexy tape she made with her minister was released to Congress.


She stars in the reality-TV series, "Staying Alive," now in its fifth season, with Michael Madsen. She appeared in the 2005 film, "?" and recently finished filming "The Mutant and the Tootant." She also is a handbag designer and has a namesake perfume.

Today a reader of my blog asked me to explain yours to her. I don't know which makes me laugh harder, this post or her question.
