It is safe to say that Mr. Conrad has much to be thankful for today.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Mr. Conrad ripped the battery from the crumpled Subaru, thrust it upon his shoulder, and dared the accident victim or police to knock it off.

Yes, he is one of my favorite actors.
Think of what would have happened had the young man been killed!
He would have carried the guilt of a senseless death the rest of his life (not to mention probably serving jail time)
To: zygoat
LOL. Yet his humble behavior in court translated into the very light sentence of house arrest. If it had been anyone else...

Thank God the victim did not die, but he did sustain many injuries. There has also been an "undisclosed" settlement in the case. Conrad's blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
"The Wild Wild West" is still one of my favorite shows. I didn't see it when it first aired - saw it only in the re-runs.

Shows the utter stupidity of drinking and driving.
No one ever thinks it will happen to them.
To: fortheDeclaration
That's exactly right. Of course on the same note, they also are not thinking about the other person who they might kill.
In fact about the only thing a drinker like Conrad is thinking about is the drink itself.

If Conrad had been on coke or marijuana, want to bet that jail time would have been imposed? Different standards for alcohol. I'm not saying that all drug-related felons should be walking the streets. The judge in this case had the common sense to address the problem (victim was paid in civil case, fines imposed, alcohol rehab, and steps taking to prevent future drunk driving). Makes more sense than having the California taxpayer foot $50K a year to house Conrad in jail space that doesn't exist plus accommodate his medical needs for partial paralysis. Mandatory minimums prevent such discretion in other substance abuse crimes.

"The only thing I'm happy about is that the young man who was a part of this has had a complete recovery," Conrad told reporters. This remark strikes me as only common decency, but common decency seems to be very uncommon, especially in Hollywood, so give him some credit.

I hope that hollywood drunk paid million$ of his own dollars to the person he assaulted! He deserves no less than to lose for his total self-incopetence.
But knowing these things(drunk hollywierdos) with their good buddy lawyer scumbag and better buddies scumbag lawyer-judges - used the money laundering payout scheme called insurance to shut the victim up with a paltry sum compared to what the lawyers were paid for this travesty of justice.

Did Dr. Loveless tamper with the engine in any way?
Seriously, I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was.

Good point, Peyton. Conrad paid the victim, was injured himself and he can afford to pay the extra restitution ordered by the Court.
Some drunk driving accidents result not only in jail time but mandatory A.A. enrollment.
Not sure what the statistics are for illegal drug induced motor vehicle accidents.
Should accidents, injuries or other harm caused by illegal drug use become the minimum criteria for arrest and sentence? It sure would empty out many prisons.

Lonesome in Massachusetts said: "This remark strikes me as only common decency, but common decency seems to be very uncommon, especially in Hollywood, so give him some credit."
Huh? Please don't shoot the messenger.
Robert Conrad gets lots of credit for being able to breathe, walk and talk after he happily consumed enough ethyl alcohol to register three times the legal blood alcohol limit.
Conrad gets even more credit while in same inebriated state, he was able to guide the ignition key straight into the ignition of his Jaguar, and then drive his Jaguar awhile before he plowed it straight into another car driven by a young man who suffered injuries requiring hospitalization.
A Hollywood stunt man couldn't top all that and live to make a "decent remark."
Conrad's remark was decent but his actions weren't.
Robert Conrad does not live anywhere near Hollywood.
