Former University of Wisconsin running back Lance Smith was sentenced Thursday to 20 days in jail for the physical assault on his girlfriend last year which started in his apartment and continued to a nearby convenience store.
In handing down the sentence, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Stuart Schwartz gave Smith credit for the four days he sat in jail after his arrest for the assault. Since Smith will earn good time when he serves his sentence, it will amount to about eight more days behind bars if he behaves.
