The judge who presided over the case wasn’t satisfied with their apology and deemed punishment necessary. And if the couple didn’t pay their fine, a nine-month prison sentence was most likely.At a performance months after this verdict, Bobby East was very apologetic to his fans, and it seems this scandal was good for his career as the music kept on coming much to his fans delight. It’s a well-known fact that one doesn’t become successful and reach the top of the game without a few haters having a few things to say.
