Cameron Douglas’ son sentencing on drug-dealing charges to be made public
By ANISaturday, April 17, 2010
NEW YORK - Actor Michael Douglas’ son Cameron will not be sentenced privately.
A judge has ruled that a plea for leniency from his father, Michael Douglas, must be made public, too.
Douglas’ lawyers were trying to close the drug-dealing deejay’s April 20 sentencing.
However, media organizations were against it.
And now, Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Berman is keeping the courtroom open, reports The New York Daily News.
Douglas pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute crystal meth- a charge that carries a minimum 10-year sentence.
His famous relatives - including grandpa Kirk Douglas and stepmom Catherine Zeta-Jones - are saying that he deserves drug rehab, not jail.
Michael also sent the judge a letter, which was not released. But now it will be made public. (ANI)
