Daniele Watts and her boyfriend are
going back to the drawing board for their court-ordered apology letters
to the cops and office workers involved in their lewd conduct arrest
last September.
The “Django Unchained” actress and
beau Brian Lucas now have until Aug. 26 to submit revised letters after a
judge and prosecutors rejected drafts submitted this week as part of
their May plea deal.
“I’m
glad they have to do a rewrite. No more excuses. She needs to say she
was immature and she messed up and that she apologizes for creating the
whole conflict,” arresting officer Jim Parker, now retired from the Los
Angeles Police Department.
If you recall, the high-profile case
started when someone called 911 saying the couple was having sex in a
car on a Los Angeles street and Watts refused to show her identification
to responding officers.
Watts, who is black, and Lucas, a
raw foods chef who is white, later claimed they were victims of racial
profiling and excessive police force and made a lot of noise that drew
nationwide attention in the US.
After the video of the arrest leaked
and it was determined that it wasn't racist, Watts and Lucas eventually
pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace.
After pleading no contest to
disturbance charges, Watts was ordered to apologize to the neighbors who
reported the incident, and the police who were accused of racial
profiling.
However, Watts and Lucas merely
apologized to the police officer for disturbing 'your carefree coffee
break' and thanked him for giving them the opportunity to shine a light
on racial profiling.
The couple’s rejected apology
letters also accused Parker of speaking “sarcastically” and criticized
witnesses for being overly judgmental.
And now, they have been ordered to re-write it
