no jail for Paul Hamm

That’s the good news.

Olympic champion gymnast Paul Hamm pleaded no contest on a reduced set of charges and was sentenced to probation Thursday in Ohio, where he was accused of kicking a cab driver while drunk, damaging a taxi window and not paying a $23 fare. …

A magistrate suspended a sentence of 90 days in custody on each count, provided that Hamm completes a year of probation. He also had to pay the cab fare, plus nearly $500 in court fees, and must sit with a counselor for an alcohol assessment. …

… Can someone explain why Paul didn’t try to settle this out of court?

What did he pay attorney Bill Meeks, all totaled? … For the sage advice, I mean.
