Mindy McCready is off the streets

Mindy McCready has been sentenced for her probation violations - a hefty year in jail. We're not quite sure if this would have been the outcome she was hoping for when she pleaded for leniency:

"Your honour, I can honestly tell you this - this has been the longest two months of my life... not being able to hold my son... has been excruciatingly painful," she said.

"I could only say I'm sorry. Please give me a chance to make things as right as they can possibly be."

First, though, the judge decided to give her the chance to have a go on the big clothes press in the laundry.
