John Goodman sentenced to 16 years in prison

IPCPB founder receives half of the maximum sentence

JOHN GOODMAN HAS been sentenced to 16 years in prison and fined $10,000, following his court hearing on Friday. However, according to the Sun-Senital, the IPCPB founder is expected to be released next week on a $7million bond, while lawyers appeal against his sentence. He will be held under house arrest, monitored around the clock and cannot apply for a new passport. His drivers licence has also been permanently revoked.

Earlier in the day, the judge dismissed a final plea from Goodman's lawyers to overturn the sentence based on juror misconduct.

The Florida-based polo mogul did face up to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of DUI manslaughter at the end of March.
