"Lawyers arranged for Sid to work off the beef with
community service, namely by using his great talents
and influence to make an antidrug movie ...." (VL, Ch.
15, p. 338)
p. 338 "arranged for Sid to work off the beef...[by
making] an antidrug movie..." This plea-bargain
echoes a real deal cut by Godfather producer Robert
Evans to avoid doing hard time on a cocaine bust.
Evans made several anti-drug spots for TV, as
promised, but apparently (according to subsequent
courtroom testimony) he kept on using the stuff
anyway.
