about Naomi Campbell that she gets to choose her own punishment?
Lawyers for Naomi Campbell, the model accused of assaulting a former maid with a mobile phone, are negotiating with prosecutors in New York in an effort to avoid a trial - and the possibility of a long prison term - in exchange for agreeing to community service.... But her lawyer insisted that any such task would have to be "palatable", fund-raising for Aids or cancer research ...Were his client to be found guilty of the allegations made against her, she could technically serve up to seven years in prison and then be deported.
Mr Breitbart declined to offer any details on how the negotiations were going. He did, however, indicate that he was setting conditions on the kind of community service his client would be prepared to do. Sweeping the streets, for example, would be out of the question.
Boy George got his "sweeping the streets" community service for falsely reporting a burglary. Ms Campbell is alleged to have committed actual assault.
