Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith was booked into the Champaign County Satellite Jail today, and he'll spend the next two weeks behind bars after agreeing to a deal to plead guilty to drunk driving charges. In exchange for the drunk driving plea, prosecutors dropped charges of running away from an accident.Two weeks in jail seems like an incredibly light sentence for a man who got very drunk, crashed his car, then ran into his home, leaving his unconscious passenger for dead. That passenger, teammate Brian Carlwell, suffered a severe concussion, and Smith did nothing to help him.
Illinois coach Bruce Weber released a statement saying, in part, "We will need time to examine the facts." That's an odd statement given that the facts have been clear for months. There's a growing public perception that Weber's program is out of control, and he needs to act swiftly to combat that perception.
