Paris Hilton sentenced to 45 days in jail!
|
Prosecutors had filed papers on Thursday seeking 45 days of jail time for Hilton, along with a four-month extension to her license suspension, and 90 days of monitoring the heiress' alcohol consumption reports US Magazine. In their court filing, prosecutors said of Hilton's behavior: "These violations demonstrate Hilton's disregard for the vehicle laws of this state as well as for the conditions of her probation. This court should...include imprisonment as a condition of reinstating her probation." Prior to being handed down her sentence, Hilton told presiding judge Michael T. Sauer, “I follow the law. I respect law. I know the laws. And I just want to say I am sorry. I did not do it purposely at all.�
Hilton's attorney, Howard Weitzman, told reporters he was "shocked and disappointed" by the sentence. "To sentence Paris Hilton to jail is uncalled for, inappropriate and ludicrous," Weitzman said. "She was singled out for who she is. She's been selectively targeted. Paris was honest in her testimony. We plan to appeal. Shame on the system." The City Attorney's Office Press Deputy Frank Mateljan told Us: "She would need to show the court abused its discretion. We proved our case above and beyond what is required. We are extremely confident it will hold up in any court as it did today." Hilton, 26, arrived to court ten minutes late for the hearing in the back of a black Cadillac Escalade with her parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton. Moments after Paris Hilton was sentenced to serve 45 in the clink, gossips claimed that Paris Hilton's mother, Kathy, rushed over to the lead prosecutor and lashed out, "I want your autograph. This is pathetic." In the same breath, as she walked out of the courtroom, Kathy looked up and said, "I can't believe all the money we spent on this," TMZ reports
