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.
-
she's still hot
-
She was found innocent of shoplifting, guilty of vandalism.
3 years.
Isnt that a little harsh for shoplifting?
-
yes animal it is IMO, they will either make an example of her or slap her on the wrist.
-
or slap her on the wrist.
ok.. I'll punish her
-
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."

Nice rack either way.
-
She's gonna be popular with the "large women in comfortable shoes".
-
yeah she a dirty girl...oh so dirty.
-
Instead of slapping her on the wrist maybe they should cane her!
Any volunteers?
Shuckins
-
ooh ooooo here here :D
-
wasn't really thinking about the wrist...
or 'slapping' per se
-
She gonna be in one of those 'women in prison' movies?
-
If she had waited till after the season..it would have been theft under 200...but then they might not have had her sizes to steal..oh the dilema..

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.

Heheh. :D

ROFL SANDMAN!!!
I love Orenthal takes. :)

When it comes down to it she was and is a thief. The $5500.00 makes it a felony. If she entered the store with the intent to steal it is tantamount to burglary and in some jurisdictions would be charged as such. The fact that she did it during business hours is not germain to entering a building with the intent to steal. Burglary does not require forcefull entry.
Her "excuses" were pretty pathetic. Now she will be able to star in numerous prison movies and be able to give a creditable performance. As to her celebrety status, ptooey. She is just paid to pretend on camera to be something she isn't in real life. In other words, a phoney. If she actually did something to benefit people then it would be a loss. She is just a petty thief. An atractive one albeit but still a common criminal. No loss.

Any idea why the DA isn't persuing any jail time?

He over charged a famous person and got his name and mug in the media. He doesn’t have the time to peruse her for “real” jail time. He's running for office next year. He can’t upset her (voters) fans too much.
-
That's one of the things I've always loathed about the rich and famous. That is the fact that it's their money and prestige that keeps them out of jail and in their homes sipping their martinis.
The way I see it...I could care less who you are...you commit a crime, you do the time. Rich people have always been treated far better than the middle class simply because they have money. While that's the way this country will always be...I still don't like it.
Tits or not...pretty or not...if she doesn't get punished to the fullest extent for the crime she commited (felony grand theft and vandalism), then I will lose all faith in the judicial system.
-
Hey OJ is still walking around,doesn't that make you lose faith already :(

Ahh, youth. :)
The bottom line is, whether she's famous or not, is that she's a first-time offender and if she gets a light sentence that's probably the reason.
My sister, who's done plenty of stupid things in the past (and who is not famous), stole merchandise from a store she worked for over a period of time. She was caught, convicted of a C-Felony, and the end result was a fine and plenty of community service - not to mention the fact that she was allowed to file to have the felony expunged from her record after she completed here sentence. She did, and it was. First time - non famous offender.
Oregon vs California, the laws may be different, who knows - but if it ends up that Rider doesn't get the electric chair, it's not necessarily a conspiracy.
Then again, the judge could be a big fan, and will let her off for an autographed 8x10. :D

What an idiot.

I always get a kick out of anyone on trial saying that they're not guilty and that they vow to find the real perpatrators, ala Orenthal.
Seems to only work on the rich and famous, though...
