Joba Chamberlain & Jackie Standley

Sad news for Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain, as the news comes in that his mother, Jackie Standley, is facing up to 20 years in prison for drug charges.

Jackie Standley was arrested last year in Nebraska for trying to sell methamphetamine to an undercover cop, who had come to see her at her apartment. Terrible news for baseball star Joba Chamberlain just as his Yankee team tries to close out the World Series. Since it seems like his mother has a liflong history of her own drug addiction and abuse problems, maybe the right thing to do is for her to be palced in drug rehab, and get treatment at a drug addiction treatment center, instead of going to prison for these drug charges.
