In a statement released after the hearing, the lawyer said." The DAs were very fair in handling this case. Mischa's glad the case has been resolved."

"Ms. Barton understands the seriousness of this situation and assumes full responsibility for her actions. She and I are grateful to the Court and the District Attorney's Office for the prompt and respectful resolution of the case," he added.
