Sizemore Begs, Pleads, Cries: "I Don't Want to Go to Jail!"

Tom SizemoreA weeping Tom Sizemore appeared in a Los Angeles County Courtroom today where he admitted to violating his probation in a 2004 methamphetamine conviction.

Sizemore was brought into the courtroom in a jail-issued orange jumpsuit, wearing handcuffs, where he waited for a judge to hear the case. The judge asked Sizemore, "Do you agree you are in violation of your probation?" Tom replied, "Yes, your honor." The judge made her findings clear, telling the "Black Hawk Down" star, "Probation is a privilege ... Tom is not a matter of probation anymore because he has abused that privilege."

Sizemore openly wept in court, begging the judge, "I don't want to go to jail ... give me one more chance ... I have a terrible disease ... drugs have strapped me around the neck ... I guarantee I am not going to be here again! I want to rehabilitate myself and become a good productive citizen to society."

Tom's brother Paul and girlfriend were present in court for today's hearing. Sizemore was arrested last month in Bakersfield on suspicion of various drug charges, including methamphetamine possession. He is due back in court Monday, June 25 to hear his fate.

47. Tom will probably kill himself if released. I hope the judge revokes his bail and remands him to custody. The guy needs serious help, he's no Paris.
What a great talent......wasted

48. First thing he needs to do to clean up, besides rehab AGAIN.. is to dump the girlfriend. She is a user of both drugs and alcohol. Even when he told her it was hard to be around her when she did that crap she chose the drugs over him and his rehabilitation. Dump her butt... and I can't believe she had the nerve to show up in court too...

50. I don't believe in putting addicts in jail, they should go after the dealers the way they do the addicts but look what a total of 4 years in jail did for Robert Downey, he's drug free and sober now and he's making a lot of sucky movies. Maybe a year in the slammer will help Tom Sizemore clean up his act too, I hope so.

51. Here we see another drug taking loser play the "I've got a sickness" card, to try & get out of a bad situation. WRONG! He doesn't have a sickness, he has an addiction. There's a difference between the 2 (even if the medical establishment is 30 years behind the times on this one). If you're sick, typically it's not by choice; it happens to you & it's not your fault. If you've got an addiction, this means you had choices, made bad ones, and now need to take responsibility for your actions.

Like all druggie losers, he's trying to convince everyone it's not his fault, that they should pity him & let him off lightly. I say NO WAY. Make him be accountible, take responsibility & do the time for CHOOSING to take drugs again. He purposely violates his probation, he reaps the whirlwind...

52. Why does Hilton (who I'm really no fan of) deserve to be locked up for driving w/ a suspeneded license - YES, SUSPENDED LIENSE - NOT DUI (b/c she's a "privilged idiot" like someone suggested earlier) but, this dope fiend (who was also a privleged idiot once himself) deserves another chance b/c he has "a disease" lol Boy, you ppl are really good w/ double , aren't you? I have zero respect for druggies. Lock his bitch ass up.

53. #59 "What's w/ the double standard"
Without the DUI Paris would NOT be locked up at all!.
The original charge is used during sentencing for probation violations such as driving on a suspended DL. Why attempt to reduce the responsibility?
And I dont belive anyone has said Tom should get off with just signing a paper.

55. Addiction, look how many are suffering, a matter of life and death, serious stuff, the rehabs that treat symptoms, place band-aids on the symptoms and fail their patients by treating those symptoms never getting to the root cuases are killing them just like the drugs-wake up people.
Designer, mind altering, psychotic drugs to treat addiction another disaster and another way the so-called professionals are slowly and methodically killing and destroying the addicts lives. All this psycho babble, feel good crap needs to stop, when your willing to go to nay lengths to get sober-straight then you need a program that really works and people that have been there-suffered and are truly sober and staright-drug free. I have been there, done that and got the tee shirt, its a tough road, worth the trouble and struggle, you can get free, have a new and awesome life, there is HOPE for all addicts, but you must stop playing around with thise disease and get serious, stop listening to the idiots that have worthless co called cures and get the tough love you need.

56. Time for the pokey Tom.

57. Go to rehab get clean and man up a little, stop crying like a little bitch and move on. There are more important things going on in the world other than another Celeb begging for ( another chance ). What the H^LL is wrong with Hollywood people.

58. How can you rehabilitate yourself Tom?

Good luck!

59. If anybody needs to go to jail it is this guy. He needs to kick that crap and do some N.A. meetings for at least a year. He needs to get humble. He is in some serious difficulty that no outside help could arrest. LOCK HIM UP, JUDGE!!

60. Does anybody else remember the same cry baby act the last time he got arrested? The judge bought it then and now he is right back in court crying the exact same song again. How many times are the courts going to let him get away with this. Put us all out of missery, including Tom by locking him up and throwing away the key!
