(pictured: Hill leaving the courtroom yesterday)It appears a federal judge in Newark, U.S. Magistrate Court Judge Madeline Cox Arleo, had some mercy on troubled singer Lauryn Hill. Hill, 37, is the mother of six children and has been given two more weeks to come up with $504,000 by May 6. If comes up with the money, and probably will, there is a good chance will get probation. Her six children and the fact that has signed a new deal with Sony (including a bonus) probably played a huge part in the judge’s decision. Hill was/is facing over 30 months in prison for not filing her taxes for several years when earned over a million dollars.
