Jalen Rose Sentenced to 20 Days in Jail for DUI





ESPN - A Michigan judge has sentenced former NBA guard Jalen Rose to serve
20 days in jail for a drunken driving crash along a snowy suburban
Detroit road in March.




Bloomfield Hills District Court Judge
Kimberly Small sentenced the former Michigan standout to 92 days
overall, with all but 20 days suspended. She also sentenced him to a
year of probation.




Rose pleaded guilty to the charge. He told a judge in May that he had
six martinis the night he veered off a West Bloomfield Township road.




A hospital test showed his blood-alcohol content as 0.12 percent, above Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent.



I figured with his low BAC of .12 that he could get off being a famous and all.  I guess he actually had a judge with some balls to throw him behind bars.  Finally some justice.
