Michael Douglas appeared in a Manhattan courtroom to sign paperwork so his son could get out on bail, according to the NY Daily News.
The actor's son will be able to go home until his sentencing. As Michael Douglas left the courtroom he said, "I have absolutely no comment."
The bail hearing was closed to the public. The NY Daily News reports that the hearing was sealed, along with court transcripts, which usually means the suspect is cooperating in an investigation.
