Mel is in the Clear

August 23rd, 2007 | Drugs & DUIs, Actors

In a bit of drunken celebrity news, Mel Gibson has pleased the Judge dealing with his DUI case. Today’s hearing was a progress hearing so Mel was not expected to appear. Instead, he had his lawyer in attendance who handled things for him. Consequently, his lawyer is Blair Berk, who is also Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer (are we seeing a trend here?)

Berk submitted paperwork showing that Gibson has completed Alcoholic’s Anonymous meetings for the last 18 weeks. He has also paid all necessary fines. With this in mind, the judge has switched the AA meetings to voluntary status. Despite the ruling, Mel has another court date in February and will need to be present at that time.
