i don't think it was about whether or not he was going to jail and if they would have to pay the three days he would stay there, but rather more about the potential black eye on the organization that sort of incedent would cause, and the effect throughout the whole ballclub as a result of that. If he had to go to court for another DUI, I think that could play out longer than three days in jail. A judge could recognize that it was his third time and then the only way for him to learn would be a significant period of jail time. That could be a couple of months maybe even longer depending on the judge. Here's the info for Illinois law: Third DUI Conviction - Class 4 felony Minimum six-year loss of full driving privileges. Possible imprisonment for up to three years. Maximum fine of $10,000. And the celebrity with good lawyer penalty? Judge: I hereby sentence you to play for the Cubs for the remainder of the season. It truly is the harshest sentence I can give you
