Love Lessens Legal Load
Courtney Love is making major strides in clearing up her hefty legal docket.
The rocker was sentenced to three years' probation Thursday after pleading no contest to a reduced misdemeanor charge of assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from an April 2004 altercation with another woman at the home of Love's ex-boyfriend.
During the brawl, Love allegedly slapped and pinched musician Kristin King, poured wax on her, hit her with a liquor bottle and chased after her with a flashlight.
The assault charge was amended from a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon as part of Love's plea bargain.
Love signed paperwork in connection with the plea bargain, but her attorney entered the plea on her behalf. She was not present for her sentencing.
Under the terms of the deal, Love must complete a year in a drug treatment program, perform 100 hours of community service, pay a $1,000 fine, undergo random drug testing and attend three Narcotics Anonymous meetings a week.
"We think this is a reasonable resolution of this case, after consideration of all the evidence in the case, the victim's impact statement and the defendant's background," Deputy District Attorney Gina Satriano said in a statement.
"There was no permanent physical injury to the victim. Due to the defendant's history with drugs and her anger control issues, we're pleased this sentence addresses extensive drug treatment and anger management counseling."
Love faced another hearing Thursday afternoon on two felony drug charges stemming from illegal painkillers found in her possession after she was taken to the hospital following an alleged drug overdose that occurred during her infamous October 2003 meltdown.
Again, Love did not appear in court but entered a guilty plea through her attorneys to an amended charge of possessing a forged prescription and the drug oxycodone.
Attorney Michael Rosenstein, another member of Love's defense team, said the singer agreed to a "deferred entry of judgment" in the drug case, meaning the charges against her will likely be dropped as soon as she completes a drug rehabilitation program.
The America's Sweetheart singer seems to be making an effort to clean up her act of late.
Last month, she regained custody of her daughter, Frances Bean, for the first time since October 2003.
"Life is about choices," Love said in a statement at the time, "and I've chosen to move forward with my life in a healthy and positive way. Having my daughter back with me is exciting."
Love also expressed her hopes for her professional future.
"I am looking forward to the future in continuing to entertain and create great music," she said.
