In
Los Angeles a judge sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail. The
heiress and media star who is presented as the ultimate young woman
for today was shocked and tearful.
The judge ruled that the hotel heiress
violated probation assigned following a traffic offense by
knowingly driving without a valid license. |

Los Angeles
Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer rejected Hilton's defense. Hilton
claimed she did not realize that her license had been suspended. The
judge ordered the 26-year-old to report to county detention
facility. |
|
As Paris
Hilton wept, her mother, Kathy, attempted to slough off her own
responsibility for having raised this pathetic girl who likely is
stuck forever in juvenile mode, yelled at the prosecutor, "You're
pathetic." |
|
The judge said
Hilton had "completely ignored" the notice which she had carried in
her glove box for weeks as well as another license suspension notice
sent to her office by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Hilton claimed that she had not seen that notice. |
|
The judge
continued, "In my opinion, there's not doubt that she knew that her
license had been suspended... She doesn't look at her mail, her
personal assistant never goes through it either. ... I think she
just wanted to disregard everything that was said and continued to
drive no matter what." |
|
Hilton was
sentenced in January to three years on probation and ordered into an
alcohol-education program for pleading no contest -- the equivalent
of a guilty plea -- to alcohol-related reckless driving after a
September 2006 arrest. In February, Hilton was stopped again for
driving without headlights. Police impounded her $190,000 blue
Bentley when they discovered she was driving on a suspended license. |
|
Paris Hilton took the witness
stand in her own defense.
She testified that she was unaware that her driving privileges had
been completely suspended at the time police stopped her and
impounded her car on February 27. |
|
The question
is, why does this homely, wealthy young woman who propelled herself
to media stardom, flaunt all laws, rules, and regulations? Imagine
how successful she could be as a star who is decent, law-abiding,
and pursues positive objectives. |
|
Or would she
then not be a media star, admired, hero, and emulated by so many of
today's women? |
