Steve Wilkos Asks Judge For Leniency In DUI Case

Steve Wilkos asked a Connecticut judge for a break in his DUI case on Monday.

During a brief appearance, the 53-year-old Jerry Springer regular applied for a court diversionary program to have the charges stemming from his January arrest in Darien, Connecticut dropped. He told Judge Richard Comerford that he has not taken an alcohol education class in the last decade.

His attorney, Eugene Riccio, spoke on Wilkos' behalf for the rest of the hearing.  Wilkos will be back in court on April 16 when he will hear the judge's decision.
