Scandal-hit queer actor Ezra Miller has reportedly cut a plea deal ahead of a Virginia court hearing this Friday.
Miller faced a tumultuous 2022 with several brushes with law authorities. One of these was in Virginia. It’s alleged Miller broke into someone’s house and stole bottles of liquor.
Miller subsequently faced three charges including burglary. The actor pleaded “not guilty” last October.
Miller’s recent arrest has drawn attention to the actor’s other notable off-screen actions over the years.
A clerk for Vermont Superior Court confirmed to NBC yesterday that prosecutors have dropped the two most serious charges. These were petit larceny and burglary. Instead, Miller is expected to plead guilty to the remaining charge of trespassing.
How about we take this to the next level?

Whereas burglary carried a maximum jail sentence of 25 years. Trespassing, on the other hand, risks three months in jail and a fine of $692.
Deadline confirmed Miller’s attorney’s submitted a Notice of Plea Agreement with the Vermont Superior Court’s Criminal Division.
Miller’s legal troubles
Besides this incident in Vermont, Miller was arrested twice in Hawaii in 2022, for disorderly conduct and harassment, and second-degree assault.
The parents of an 18-year-old youth also filed a protection order against Miller, claiming the actor had brainwashed and groomed their child.
Miller shot to fame in the movie We Need To Talk About Kevin. They followed it up with roles in the Fantastic Beasts and DC’s Justice League franchises.
The controveries dogging Miller have caused headaches for Warner Bros. Miller reprises the role of The Flash in its tent-pole superhero movie of the same name, due for release June 23.
The movie has reportedly cost more than $100million to make, and early test reactions have proved overwhelmingly positive.
In August, Miller released a statement admitting “having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment.”
“I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”

Good to know that if I’m ever arrested for multiple crimes, I can just cut a deal with the prosecution to have the most serious charges dropped, pay a small fine and then go on my merry way.
Why people insist on unjustly vilifying the American justice system is beyond me. It’s clearly a most compassionate and accommodating institution.
“It’s clearly a most compassionate and accommodating institution.”
If you can afford the right lawyers and have the money to pay off lawsuits. With the multitude of instances, Miller definitely should have been facing some time behind bars
He’s not black or Latino. And he or his backers have money. So yeah he’s got ‘justice’. If he were non-white and poorer or not Hollywood connected he’d get a full jail term
I trust the police in Vermont were more enlightened and didn’t commit the hate crime of addressing them as “sir” like the cops who arrested Mx. Miller in Hawaii.

Good move, counselor. The de-gendered “mxdermeaner” will look much better on court transcripts if your commentary subjects you to judgment from the Gender Crimes Tribunal.
It’s not Miller’s fault. The idea that somebody can make up pronouns and everyone has to use them is extreme narcissism, but you’re called a bigot if you say that. So if people who imagine themselves to be neither male nor female, like Miller, don’t get the therapy they need, blame the quacks in Gender Studies who invented and profit from “queer theory.”

I’ll bet the studio got him some really good representation that 99% wouldn’t be able to afford.

Free Ezra!
redzebra1
Why? He’s plead guilty. It isn’t his position that he’s innocent

I’ve seen people hurtle down this tube before. It’s a long, long way to the other end, and they’re not the same person anymore.

The Romans had an axiom for people like Miller that suits perfectly : “non vult
ipsum comedere”
It will eat itself.

Where did you get that Latin quote from? Idk if it’s from the Roman period…
UlfRaynor
Then might I suggest you educate yourself by studying the writings and musing of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.
