The National ENQUIRER has learned his jailed drug dealer son Cameron will be released a year earlier than expected, in a sensational reversal for the Academy Award–winning star.
The 35-year-old, whose mother is the star’s ex-wife Diandra, has been behind bars since a 2009 conviction for conspiracy to distribute narcotics after being caught dealing crystal meth and cocaine.
Michael made an impassioned plea at the 2013 Emmy Awards, helping Cameron win release from solitary confinement at Federal Corrections Institute in Cumberland, Maryland last March.
Now, The ENQUIRER has learned Cam will be freed March 18, 2017, after being credited with time served. Previous reports stated he was to remain behind bars until 2018.
Michael is thrilled with the news.
