Is anyone surprised that former UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones walked away from his plea hearing yesterday with a slap on the wrist? If you are, then you’ve likely been completely sheltered from sports media and pop culture in general. Jones is the latest celebrity/athlete to enjoy a judicial leniency that never seems to show up in the cases of average blue-collar workers.
Yesterday, Jones plead guilty to a 4th degree felony charge under New Mexico law in Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court and was sentenced up to 18 months of supervised probation.
