Levi Johnston's Mother Sentenced to Five Years in Jail

"The Insider" confirms that Levi Johnston's mother Sherry Johnston has been sentenced to five years in jail, following her guilty plea to a drug charge stemming from her arrest last December.

Sherry’s lawyer tells us she only faces two years of actual incarceration: Two of her five years were suspended, and she’ll receive one year of “good time” credit as well as credit for the three months she’s already served. She could possibly serve her time at home via an ankle monitor due to her lack of criminal history, her lawyer adds.

Sherry also faces three years of probation once she gets out of jail or off the ankle monitor.

Her lawyer tells "The Insider" that Levi and his sister Mercede were on hand for their mother’s sentencing, and the judge called this a mitigated and unusual case. The state said they expect Sherry to do well on probation.

  • You want to talk TRASH??? Lets talk about Sarah (I'm Oblivious) Palin and her creationist theories; leading her to ACTUALLY believe the earth is approximately 3000 years old. Hello, are the lights on up there ... oh no, you're to busy looking for Russia from your back yard!

  • Levi's mother should be ashamed for ruining her son's relationship with his son and appreciate the fact that he stood by her when, if he had come out against her criminal activity, could have saved himself alot of ridicule, and time away from the son he loves. Actually. . .his mother should have had the integrity to take the blame for the heartache she caused her son, instead of relying on knowing Levi would put her feelings above the flack and unfair judgment surely to come and which he has indured. She's a great example of what a parent should NOT to be.
    Bottom line, Levi has been burned not only by the devotion he showed his mother. . .but by the press not giving him credit for being selflessness
    Instead of villifying him, consider the integrity he showed by standing by his unworthy mother, and give him the compassion he deserves. . . regardless of his behavior directly due to his being denied access to his son

  • The fruit didn't fall far from the tree in this family did it? Let's hope that commonsense will prevail and no Judge will ever grant Levi Johnston joint custody of that helpless little baby/ The child deserves alot better than that.

  • I've quit watching the Insider until they start back with reasonable programming. All the hate for Palin and giving Levi constant attention have made the Insider just another TV rag. To endorse a 19-year-old with such an obvious agenda is low, low, low. To use that as an uber-liberal way to rant against Sarah Palin -- even worse. And to have all those big-mouth brainless es ranting ebonics at maximum volume night after night: it has all gotten to be too much for this political moderate.
