Emile Hirsch Gets 15 Days In Jail Over Paramount Exec Assault At Sundance

Six days after attending the premiere of Ten Thousand Saints in L.A., Emile Hirsch was back in Park City today again for another hearing on the felony and misdemeanor charges resulting from his allegedly violent and drunken January 25 nightclub attack on Paramount Digital VP Daniele Bernfeld.
Unlike the tense and full-suited Hirsch who has shown up in Utah court on two previous occasions, the actor looked almost relaxed and semi-casual Monday in a black blazer, tie and jeans – a clear indication that things were going to a better place for him than a long jail term. Instead of 5-years behind bars, Hirsch will get 15 days in jail starting today. He will also pay $4750, do 50 hours of community service and has to attend “aftercare” session. If the actor fails to meet all the designated requirements he will go to jail for a year.
As first reported by Deadline at the time of the last Hirsch attended hearing on the case back on June 8, the actor and his lawyers were trying to make a plea deal. As Judge Kara Pettit said today, Hirsch’s lawyers struck a “resolution” with the Summit County Attorney’s Office over the aggravated assault and intoxication charges that occurred at a Sundance Film Festival party for the pic earlier this year. With a “Guilty” plea in advance admitting to the assault, the deal proposed in the semi-packed courtroom Monday sees the Ten Thousand Saints star avoid a maximum stint of up to 5-years in jail, as designated under the Beehive State’s laws.
The third-degree felony charge not only holds a sentencing of up to 5-years behind bars but a $5,000 fine under Utah law. The intoxication misdemeanor could have gotten Hirsch a $750 fine and 90 days in jail.
