Celebrity Justice
Mackenzie Phillips: Two Felonies at a Time

Posted Sep 3rd 2008 1:55PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: Phillips' lawyer, Blair Berk, just appeared in court on Mackenzie's behalf and continued the case. The judge said he expects the case will settle. Berk is famous for plea bargaining cases and saving celebrity asses.

Troubled actress Mackenzie Phillips has been charged with two felonies stemming from her arrest at LAX on August 27.

She was charged with one count of felony possession of cocaine and another for possession of heroin. The DA tacked on a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic needle or syringe ... just for kicks.

Phillips was popped at LAX after baggies of cocaine and heroin fell out of her pants while going through airport security.

16. I wish I could commit felonies, go to rehab and get probation. {Me} "Yes your honor I did pull a gun and stick it in the
clerks face when I robbed the store, but I am in rehab now. {Judge} "Good for you son, you are on the right path, I
sentence you to 12 days of unsupervised probation."

17. What you say about Blair Berk is exactly right: she plea bargains cases. I'm a criminal defense attorney in LA, and it's well known that Blair never goes to trial. She does nobody any good, particularly her clients, by being scared to try a case.
