Michael Phelps' Trial

Michael Phelps has been sentenced to 18 months' probation yesterday after pleading guilty to drunken driving. Phelps was fined $320 and ordered to pay $70 in court costs, must attend a meeting sponsored by "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" and must give speeches to students at three schools by June 1, advising the students about making choices and warning them on the dangers of alcohol.

Judge Lloyd O. Whitehead also ordered Phelps to abstain from alcohol and illegal drugs during his probation. His record will be expunged if he complies with the terms of probation. Phelps must report to a probation supervisor once a month by telephone or as directed by the court.

"I recognise the seriousness of this mistake," Phelps told the judge in a packed courtroom.

"I've learnt from this mistake and will continue learning from this mistake for the rest of my life."

Trial Date Set.

The trial of Michael Phelps' drunk driving charges will take place in district court in Salisbury, on 29th December. Let us pray for Michael.

In this website, www.InnovatorsAwards.org, (for the "Drive Innovation in Addiction Control") an essay writing contest is being held. First up will be of Michael Phelps.

"We decided to focus on Michael Phelps for our first monthly essay because we think Mr. Phelps is a remarkable young man and role model who will likely learn from his mistakes and become a force to prevent drunk driving and underage drinking," says Dr. Henningfield. "We believe there are many creative people out there who will have ideas on this."
