Goodfella Sentenced To Probation

Ray Liotta pled no contest to a charge of reckless driving yesterday, the Daily News is reporting.

Under the plea, which stems from an incident in February when Liotta was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Liotta will be ordered to complete a 12-hour alcohol education program, pay $1328 in restitution and fines (in addition to paying for the damage. He'll also be placed on probation for the next three years.

Believe it or not, Liotta actually got off light with his plea - reckless driving constitutes a much less serious offense than driving under the influence. Then again, considering his lawyer was Blair Berk - best known for the work she did for Lindsay Lohan earlier this year - perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised!
