Joe Francis Sentenced to 270 days Plus 3 Years Probation

August 27, 2013 by tamaratattles 22 Comments

Well, Joe Francis just got sentenced for five misdemeanors  including 1 count of assault, 3 counts of false imprisonment, and 1 count of dissuading a  witness from reporting. Of course before sentencing Francis tried to get the sentence thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct. That was denied. Then before sentencing his attorney said that his Francis was not going to express remorse because he doesn’t concede that he did anything wrong. (I paraphrase but that was the gist of what I heard) His lawyer also said that his brand and his public image is not who he is. If I were the judge, this statement by Francis’s lawyer would be pissing me off. Basically Joe is misunderstood and pure as the driven snow. His attorney asks for probation, anger management classes and counseling. 

The prosecutors bring up past charges against Francis. He mentions a case that was dropped after the victim left the state.  In that case he allegedly inappropriately touched a woman repeatedly against her will. In 2008 there were child abuse charges.  Another instance when he was out with Abbey and Francis grabbed another girl by the hair and pushed her to the floor.  Then he listed some incidents where Francis dragged Abbey out of a bar where she was with someone else.  Abbey has filed charges on Joe more  than once.  Abbey is sitting directly behind him in the court room. This list of violent charges is scary.  He also has given interviews saying he had done nothing wrong. Joe called the jury who found him guilty  retarded and jealous of him. Joe said all of the jurors should be killed.  Joe is insane, y’all. He also made statements to the press that he was convicted on misdemeanors which are “just like traffic tickets.”  The prosecution asks for a year on each charge to be run consecutively a 5K fine and that he be deemed a danger to the community.

Francis was convicted of five misdemeanor charges stemming from an incident that began at the Supper Club in Hollywood on January 29,  2011. Joe apparently took a liking to a girl who was out with two of her friends to celebrate their college graduation. When the girls left the club, Joe took one of them by the hand and walked her to his limo.  The other two girls followed under the assumption that he was giving them a lift to their car.d.

Instead, Francis took the women to  his house and held them against their will. One of the women was assaulted when Francis attempted to separate one from the other  two.  Francis grabbing one of the women by the hair and throat and slammed  her head into the tile floor. The women had problems getting cell reception at the location and had no idea how to tell a cab or anyone else where they were. Francis also had a co-defendant to allegedly assisted in the false imprisonment of the women.

 

Francis will spend a total of 270 days in the county click and was given three years probation.  The judge also ordered a psychological evaluation and weekly visits with a psychiatrist. The judge also sentenced him to ANGER MANAGEMENT classes. As you recall,  Francis was the only person who refused to participate in the anger management classes on Couples Therapy because he was afraid it would be shown on The Soup and he would look bad. The judge was adamant that Joe has serious anger problems that must be addressed. Joe was all smiles  as he was lead out of the court in handcuffs to be booked. However, for reasons I don’t quite get, there was a bond set at 250K and he will bail out today. I guess it is one of those Hollywood things where you get to look at your calendar and decide what 270 days are the most convenient for you to do your time. SMH. Who will make his bed for him in the big house?

Sorry if this was disjointed there were lots of problems with the livefeeds.

    ….On Couples Therapy Joe Francis threw water at Heather after she defended Dustin, and he ran away like a little girl and locked himself securely in his room…. Dustin was walking around inside a luxurious private rehab residence barefoot, and Joe called Dustin low class white trash for being barefoot…. Really? barefoot=low class inside a place where you are temporarily living? SMH…

    ….Considering California’s over-populated jails, I hope he does not get out too early. He has been in jail/prison for an extended period of time before. And the stories that were circulating about how miserable he was in jail because he did not have his luxurious comforts were sadistically enjoyable.
    ….I am thrilled he is back in jail. I hope his lace free jail slippers are comfortable, otherwise he will have to walk around barefoot… Gasp the horror! He’s a misogynistic elitist pimp low life….

    I could not believe it when I heard them read his statements calling the jury retarded, and statement after statement saying they should be killed. That is one special kind of stupid idiot.
    Maybe Abbey can free herself from this mess while he’s locked away. Oh wait, then she’d have to give up all that money.

    Doesn’t surprise me one bit that he’s been violent with women, including Abbey, on several occasions. Explains her fear of him. He is such a scumbag piece of shit. He better serve every minute of those 270 days. He is a repeat offender and has no remorse. He’ll do it again and probably end up killing Abbey.

        You know he gets facials, botox, all kinds of serums and peels. On CT, he was all “I don’t look 40! No I don’t. I mean, I don’t look 40”.

    Only 270 days for essentially kidnapping. Another example of women being thought of as a commodity to be bought & exchanged.

      I saw this article on TMZ, bragging he won’t be going to jail and next thing you know… he’s in jail. Epitome of a narcissistic, egomaniacal misogynist. Sadly, that guy in Missouri (?) got 30 days for raping a 14 yr old… who then committed suicide at 17. That is one effed up story; mostly the judge’s comments re: the girl.

    Yes, in California you can bail out if your case is up for appeals. With the contempt J. F. has shown the courts he will serve at least 2/3 of his sentence.

    Ugh, can’t stand this guy. He acts like a wannabe wiseguy who thinks he’s a big man for beating up girls. What kind of self-hate does Abbey have for herself that she’s still with this jackass?

      While on the Couples Therapy show, he used his history of being abused as an excuse for his obnoxious behavior. He never said what type, and I doubt if it every happened. Now, he will actually experience what “real” abuse feels like. I doubt if he’ll walk on this case. In this morning’s news brief, the California Gov. revealed a plan to keep prisoners in jail, by placing them in alternate. Wherever Joe ends up, Bubba will be there.

    While I’ve never watched TC, earlier this summer I did read a free Kindle book about Joe Francis’ FL trials. The author was a local journalist and was used by Joe during diff phases of the trials over the years. It shows what an incredible sociopath this guy is. TT, if ok to cite, the book is titled “The Madness of Joe Francis: I thought we were all just having fun. I was wrong.” by David Angier, in case anyone is interested. (Book is choppy but the details are incredible.)
