Cameron Douglas, the messed up son of Hollywood royalty and class act Michael Douglas, was sentenced to five years in prison for selling huge amounts of illegal drugs. He was facing up to ten years mimimum but pleaded guilty and got five. Pictured here leaving the courthouse with ex-wife and Cameron’s mom Diandra, devastated Michael along with the rest of the family including superstar wife Catherine Zeta Jones, pleaded with the judge to take leniency on his kid by showing all the good cameron is. He still got five. Douglas wrote that he has cherished weekly two-hour visits with his son over the past eight months at a Manhattan federal jail. With his son behind bars but sober, “I get to witness the wonderful young man he can be,” he wrote. The troubled son of Michael and grandson of Kirk, seemed to be on a roller coaster through the years and never able to pull himself together and take full advantage of all the incredible opportunities he had. Maybe one day he will.
