Judge Praises Wynona Ryder

Our congratulations to Wynona Ryder for earning the Judge's praise for her conduct on probation resulting from her shoplifting conviction:

Actress Winona Ryder was commended by a judge Monday for abiding by the rules of her probation in a shoplifting case. Ryder's lawyer, Shepard Kopp, said outside court that the judge plans to review the case later and consider reducing her felony convictions to misdemeanors.

"I want to compliment you on your behavior on probation," Superior Court Judge Elden Fox told the actress, who did not speak during the hearing. He said her probation report had been very positive. " And there's an indication that things are going well," he said. Fox ordered Ryder to return to court May 26 for a six-month review and said he would decide then if she needs continued probation supervision.

Ms. Ryder has completed 480 hours of community service at the City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte.
