Coaching = Community Service?


I’ve never seen that before: usually community service involves picking up trash under the supervision of a probation officer. The idea that some pleaded-out criminals might get so close to children would alarm a lot of parents

It's a special circumstance. It's not like some random judge ordered it to just some random drunk.

The judge knows Bombay. The Judge knows Ducksworth. It was a special arrangement between Ducksworth and the judge. And it sounds like the community service was a condition brought to the table by Ducksworth, not as a punishment for drunk driving, but as more of a tool to teach Bombay humility and some perspective. The judge just simply agreed to it as fulfillment of the community service part of the punishment.
