In his summation to the judge, defense lawyer Todd Spodek said Sabourin had a legitimate, brief romance with Baldwin. He complained that Baldwin was using the court system to “sort out his relationships.”
The judge sentenced Sabourin to six months in jail. That’s on top of 30 days she already received for disrupting court proceedings.
