Winona Ryder Trial Results
« on: November 06, 2002, 02:25:01 PM »
The jury came back with a verdict in the trial that had actress Winona Ryder charged with shoplifting items from a Saks Fifth Avenue store.  She pleaded not guilty and offered two defenses: (a) it was a conspiracy by Saks, and (b) if she did shoplift, it was because she was getting ready for an upcoming role in a film where she plays a character that shoplifts.

The jury found her guilty of shoplifting, as charged.  She has not yet been sentenced.

They got her for shoplifting ("felony grand theft") and vandalism.  No sentence has been handed down yet.  I suspect the high price tag was the driving force behind the possibility of a 3 year term.  Maybe she can use the experience to prepare for a role in an upcoming Women In Prison film. :D

From Yahoo's news briefs:

"Actress Winona Ryder was convicted Wednesday of stealing $5,500 worth of high-fashion merchandise from Saks Fifth Avenue last year. The jury found the star of "Girl, Interrupted" guilty of felony grand theft and vandalism but cleared her of burglary, a count that required proof of advance intent. The panel reached the verdict after 5 1/2 hours of deliberations over two days. She faces anywhere from probation to three years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 6."

Instead of slapping her on the wrist maybe they should cane her!

Any volunteers?

Ryder Pledges to Find the Real Shoplifters
By Brian Briggs
 
 Los Angeles, CA - Despite being found guilty of grand theft charges, actress Winona Ryder has pledged to find the real shoplifters.

"I cannot and will not rest until the real perpetrators of this crime are found. Despite the potentially damning video tape and the fact that I was arrested with the items on my person, I will find the people who framed me," said Ryder, "especially if asked to do so by my director. Perhaps in a role as a girl who finds the real criminals in a film called... uh... Framers!"

"Even if I have to search from a prison cell, I'll find some of the people who saw Little Women and Girl, Interrupted who believe I'm innocent," continued Ryder. "And since I'm a celebrity, I will spearhead a campaign ensuring that in the future, celebrities will not be held liable for crimes unless they are felonies or federal offenses."

E!, the entertainment network, plans on covering the Winona Ryder Search for Truth tour which kicks off after sentencing next month. Kato Kaelin will host the specials.

Police reported riots erupting in Beverly Hills.
