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.

61. He's crying to this judge, but he was laughing in front of the judge in Bakersfield. If he knows he needs help, why didn't he get it before he got busted again? The people who claim that jail serves no purpose for him need to understand that he keeps getting arrested because he keeps breaking the law - not just for drug use, but for other things as well.
Those are not my drugs. I didn't choke anybody for not letting me check into a hotel that I previously trashed. I think it's funny that I'm in court again... JAIL!?!? Wait a minute...cry, cry, cry. I have a disease and I need help.
He's beyond pathetic. If he knows how bad his problem is, he needs to choose going back into a program when he's tempted instead of choosing to hang with prostitutes and drug users. He makes that choice, time and again getting into trouble, and needs to suffer the consequences. If he can't stay clean, then going to jail will probably save his life.

62. Addicts don't become cured by jail time. TS should be hospitalized.
Sick people don't get well by being caged!

64. another wasted space in prison due to archaic drug laws. what do we care if he does meth? it's his life. space in prison should be reserved for those who rob and kill, not those that get high. rediculous.

65. They screwed him. They have plenty of penalties for Meth addiction, but virtually no restrictions. He's addicted to the stuff, and they do nothing but wait for him to use again to nail him. He pled guilty, which is more than you can say for certain celebs. He was in no way endangering the public like, oh....Paris Hilton was it that was drunk driving on a suspended license going 40 over the limit?
