Rogers likely to get off light
Time once again to talk about the baseball player many of us love to hate these days. Texas Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers is indeed facing criminal charges for his attack on two TV photographers.
Rogers is charged with misdemeanor assault, and is free on $1,500 bond. If convicted, he could potentially receive a one-year jail sentence.
But, he probably won't spend much of any time behind bars. Neither one of the cameramen were hurt all that badly. And, first-time offenders (even if they're not ballplayers) charged with misdemeanors don't usually get sent to jail for any significant period of time.
