On top of having to attend
counseling sessions twice a week, the
guidelines also include
placing a midnight curfew on Bryant, no longer allowing Bryant to drink alcohol or attend strip clubs, and also
placing a security team
in charge of Bryant to take him to practices, games, and team functions.
Unfortunately, although a jury might often present a higher chance of acquittal than the judge - trial option, if the jury convicts, it will recommend the sentence without the benefit of knowing the voluntary sentencing
guidelines, reading a presentence report, nor being permitted to recommend a suspended sentence, a probation period, nor community service nor
counseling in place of active jail and a recommended fine amount.
