The DAs were very fair in handling this case. Mischa’s glad the case has been resolved.
Mischa will have to complete a three-month alcohol-education class and pay a fine of approximately $2,000. In a statement released after the hearing, her lawyer added:
Ms. Barton understands the seriousness of this situation and assumes full responsibility for her actions. She and I are grateful to the Court and the District Attorney’s Office for the prompt and respectful resolution of the case.
