Gawd what a screwed up family!
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The son of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett is getting a chance at a clean slate.
Redmond O'Neal was admitted into a drug court program that could remove
him from probation and wipe his record clean of previous drug
convictions if he succeeds. The 24-year-old will join an intense rehabilitation program that will include frequent drug tests and court appearances. If he relapses or otherwise flunks the program, O'Neal faces several years in prison for a pair of drug convictions.
He appeared in court Thursday afternoon in jail garb. He has been in
custody since April 5, when deputies say they found him with heroin in
a parking lot at Los Angeles area jail. He has pleaded not guilty to
charges filed in that case.
