Gore Goes Guilty

Posted Jul 30th 2007 1:50PM by TMZ Staff

Al Gore III pleaded guilty Monday to possessing marijuana and other drugs, but a judge told the former Veep's son he can withdraw that plea and have the charges dropped if he successfully completes a drug diversion program. What a bargain!

Cops say the 24-year-old was going 100+ MPH in his Prius on an Orange County freeway when they pulled him over. Multiple drugs were found in his car.

Gore pleaded guilty to two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription, and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.

He will be sentenced on February 7.

5. How nice...rich white connected boy gets off with nothing more than taking a class.

Anybody else, even with pleading guilty with those kinds of charges, and past record of similiar incidents would be looking at Jail time for sure.

Double standard of Justice in this Country just proven once again.

Hey Judge, keep this goof off the streets at least will you please, for the publics safety you are in place to protect.

8. Just one more example of the double standard running rampant in this country. This kid is in trouble and by making him just do a rehab program rewards his bad behavior. He'd be better served by going to jail for a few weeks to be scared straight.

11. He pleads GUILTY and he can still have the charges dropped? I wonder if that's what the founding fathers had in mind back in 1776 when they were tossing around that "justice for all" concept???

12. Where are all the people who wanted to hand paris hilton and LIho now? What this guy did could have potentially hurt many more people. It just shows how hypocritical America really is......if it was one of GWB kids, People would want to send them to death row. Bottom line - the liberal media controls America and this is a great example. FAIRNESS FOR ALL!!!!!!!

13. this is perfect example of what normal folks and even more minorities see all the time and have every reason to have steam boiling out the ears every time they hear this. rich little white boy, son of ex vp pres Al Gore getting a slap on the wrist. It wouldn't hurt my feeling if the brothers wanted to take Junior out back and smack him up a bit. wouldn't bother me a bit. i'd even jump in
