this never happened

You may think that Mel Gibson was arrested on July 28, 2006, for DUI, during which he made a bunch of anti-Semitic and sexist comments, but you’d be wrong according to the official court documents. Because today Mel successfully had that arrest expunged from his record, for some reason. TMZ says…

Judge Lawrence Mira just signed legal documents in Malibu, expunging the misdemeanor DUI from Mel’s record.
The judge noted the conviction still is relevant for “gun control purposes.” It can also be used as a prior conviction if Gibson gets popped for DUI in the future.
Mel’s lawyer, Blair Berk, requested the motion to dismiss on September 21 after Mel successfully completed the terms of his three-year probation.

This will do a lot to fix his reputation, especially if we all agree to re-do 2005 and pretend nothing since then ever happened. It’ll be fun. I’ll start: boy that Amy Winehouse is a fresh young face, isn’t she. I see good things on the horizon for her.
