‘Justice League’ Flash actor Ezra Miller sentenced to one year probation after pleading guilty to breaking into a house to steal three bottles of liquor
The plaintiff’s statement is part of a deal reached with the court to reduce his sentence. In addition to serving his probation, Miller will also have to pay a $500 fine.
“The court will impose the sentence here…we accept your guilty plea. We will impose the $500 fine and 80 to 90 days in jail, suspended with probation. Probation will be one year.” said Superior Court Judge Kerry A. McDonald-Cady this Friday (1/13).
“As part of the plea deal here, the state will dismiss without prejudice to counts 1 and 2, robbery and theft,” McDonald-Cady added.
The “charges 1 and 2” referred to by the judge are: burglary in an occupied home, which carried a sentence of up to 25 years and/or a fine of up to US$1,000, and petty theft, which carried a sentence of up to to up to one year and/or a fine of up to $1,000.
“You will be on administrative probation for one year for unlawful trespassing to which you plead guilty. If you successfully complete that probation and your probation is terminated and released, Charge 1 will remain dropped,” McDonald-Cady said . “However, if a probation violation was filed and for which the court found probable cause, the state may again dismiss the theft charge.”
Miller must register with the Vermont Department of Corrections, notify the probation officer of his current address each month, and notify within 72 hours if there is probable cause for a new offense during his probation. Furthermore, according to the judge, he cannot drink alcohol to the extent that it interferes with his job, the well-being of his family, himself or anyone else.
The plaintiff’s attorney released a statement on the court’s decision.
“Ezra Miller pleaded guilty this morning to a misdemeanor in Vermont Superior Court and accepted the terms imposed by the court. Ezra wishes to thank the court and the community for their trust and patience during this process and thanks again a time the love and support she has received from her family and friends, who continue to be a vital presence in her ongoing mental health care,” said attorney Lisa B. Shelkrot.
The case being adjudicated occurred on May 1, 2022, when Miller broke into the pantry of his neighbor, Isaac Winokur, and stole bottles of gin, vodka and rum. At the time, security camera footage at the scene led police to Miller.
Vermont Deputy Attorney Alexander Burke of the Bennington District Attorney’s office said Winokur “supports this resolution.” “It safeguards your privacy interest without having to proceed to trial, as well as ensuring continued mental health treatment for the defendant. In essence, it serves as a judgment on the matter of the crime, which was the design of the agreement that will continue to allow defendant to exercise an employment of his choice.”
The actor has been racking up complaints and problems with the police since February, when he was accused of attempting to hang a woman in a bar in Iceland. Subsequently, he was arrested in March in Hawaii for causing a disturbance at another bar and arrested in April on charges of second-degree assault at a party at a private home, also in Hawaii.
He was then subject to two restraining orders. The first was made by the parents of an 18-year-old girl on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in the Dakota region, who claim Miller has been manipulating their daughter since she was 12 years old. At 18 she dropped out of school and ran away from home, ending up at the actor’s house. The young woman wrote on her Instagram that Miller helped her through a difficult moment.
The second was taken by the parents of a 12-year-old from Massachusetts after Miller allegedly got into an aggressive confrontation with her family, brandishing a gun and embarrassing the little girl with hugs and gendered remarks after discovering she calls herself non-binary. .
Finally, allegations surfaced in June that Miller was harboring a mother and her young children on his Vermont farm in unsafe conditions, with guns and ammunition strewn across the property. The mother told the publication that the actor helped her escape an abusive marriage.
In August, Miller apologized for his behavior and began mental health treatment. “After recently going through a period of intense crisis, I now understand that I suffer from complex mental health issues and have entered ongoing treatment,” he said in a statement. “I want to apologize to everyone I’ve alarmed and upset by my past behavior. I’m committed to doing the work it takes to get me back to a healthy, safe, and productive stage in my life.”
The treatment would be a requirement of Warner Bros., which has faced a dilemma in relation to the already completed film “The Flash”. The costs of replacing the actor in the production would simply be too high – not only is Miller present in almost every scene, but he also plays a double role, as a Flash from another universe. It would also be difficult to shelve the release, after the millions of dollars invested in its production. But there are plans to take it off the card in future productions.
Last year, Miller reportedly had a successful meeting with Warner Bros. studio presidents Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy to apologize for all the legal and media woes his behavior has caused. However, his fate within Warner/DC is still uncertain, as the new board, made up of director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran (“The Suicide Squad”), has not specified what the Flash’s future will be.
