Celebrity Justice
Governator Has Plans for Paris??!!!

A petition is circulating that begs California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon Paris Hilton.
Paris and Arnold
TMZ placed several calls this morning to the Guv's office. The first person we spoke with said there were "rumblings" about the petition in the office, but he wouldn't be more specific.

We then spoke with someone else who said she'd get back to us. We then asked if that meant the Governor had Paris plans. She giggled and said, "maybe."

We love Kalieforneeya!!!

BUT WAIT! Just as we were about to publish the article (finger literally on the button), TMZ got a callback from the Guv's Press Secretary, Aaron McLear, who said that Arnold's office is prepared to give Hilton a fair shake! McLear told TMZ the office is prepared to treat Hilton's request "no differently than any other request filed to the Governor's office." McLear added the Governor only acts in "extraordinary circumstances." We asked if Paris qualified -- all we got was a laugh.

So far, they haven't received the petition, asking people to "sihn" (sic) in support of Paris.

While word of Paris' pardon has made its way throughout cyberspace and all over mainstream news, McLear said that he's not sure if Schwarzenegger himself is aware of Paris' plight, but he did admit that Arnold's "staff members certainly are."

31. Anon

Point is, she killed NO ONE. Didn't hurt anyone and 45 days in jail for this is ABSURD.

Tell me one person that went to jail for this and back it up.....

32. Paris shouldn't have to go to jail. There are so many other famous people who have committed real crimes, example: OJ Simpson!
Leave the girl alone and put real criminals in jail! FREE PARIS!!!

33. I think the most appalling aspect of this entire situation is Mrs. Kathy Hilton.
Her and her husband allowed their precious publicity starlette to arrive 18 minutes late for court. Right there is a perfect example of the disrepect they have for authority.
Mrs. Hilton was asked by the bailiff to be quite more than once as she spoke out against the prosecutor. When the sentence was handed down she asked the judge for his autograph!!!What is wrong with this family? Why was this woman not held in contempt of court???
Her daughter has gotten away with far too much for quite some time and now it is time to pay her dues. If this were anyone else they would have been taken away in handcuffs right then and there.

34. The girl broke the law she should pay the price just like any other person. God forbid she be without her Louis Vuiton and her ugly ass pets for 45 days. Who knows maybe people would have a little more respect for her if she just took responsibility for her actions and served her time. She should take Brit with her too. Put them in the cell together.

36. If Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger were to stoop so low as to get involved in this Paris Hilton legal case, "We the People" need to RECALL him!

37.
TMZ ......have to give you credit for making that call ..........


PARIS HILTON DONE WRONG , HER LIFE IS SO SCREWED UP , I TRUTHLY THINK

SHE LOST HER SCREWS ALONG THE WAY . HER PARENTS ARE AT FAULT , FOR

NOT MAKING HER GET A "REAL JOB" , SPOILING HER , AGAIN I BLAME THE PARENTS.

NO MATTER IF YOU'RE RICH / POOR , YOU WORK FOR YOUR MONEY , NOT HAVE IT

HANDED TO YOU. SHE TAKES EVERYTHING FOR GRANTED , SHE HAS NO RESPECT

FOR MONEYYYYYY ......... ARNOLD BETTER NOT PARDON HER OR HE'S IN THE WRONG

TOO. WHERE IS THE GROUP "MOTHER'S AGAINST DRINKING / DRIVING / M.A.D.D.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO DRINK , YOU CAN AFFORD A TAXIS , LEAVE THE DRIVING TO

SOBERED DRIVERS ........

Posted at 3:19PM on May 8th 2007 by ARNOLD IS WRONG IF HE PARDON'S PARIS , HE'S JUST AS WRONG .

38. I have an idea! Let's make a COMPLETE mockery of the law. Why even have laws? EVERYONE who has money should be able to do whatever they want - with no repercusions.

please, whatajoke, it IS the law. Read the California statute. she broke it, and she has to pay, just like everyone else. Are you seriously insinuating that the "but he said I could" defense should work? Or only in THIS situation? How about for bail jumpers?

39. He wouldn't Pardon someone on Death Row, do you really think he's going going to Pardon a Skank-Ho like Paris Hilton, can you imagine the Public Relations backlash Ahhhnold would get, get serious people.

40. this proves she's PATHETIC and SELF-CENTERED. haven't seen her little dog in awhile - not in style i guess...

41. I'M SO GLAD TO KNOW THAT THE TWITS IN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE FIND DRUNK-DRIVING AMUSING.

I HAD A FRIEND WHO WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER LAST YEAR.

42. Why does no one look to the Martha handled things? Did Martha file appeals? No. Did Martha attempt to get pardoned? No. Why didn't Martha do these things? She didn't want to waste tax-payer money when she knew she did something wrong. And I personally admire her for that. She served nearly triple the time that Princess Paris is being sentenced to. Martha survived and made it out alive. Princess Paris will too.

Suck it up, stop being an idiot.

43. she needs to do her 45 days in jail just like any other american citizen would have if they defiantly broke the law on more than one occasion. I think it is a joke that she is even asking for a pardon she acts like she is on death row. i hope she is treated just like anyone else being processed in the jail.

44. I SUGGEST TO EVERYONE THAT HAS A DUI TO BOMBARD GOV SCHARTZENEGGER'S OFFICE AND ASK FOR A PARDON...BECAUSE IF HE GIVES ONE TO PARASITE HILTON THEN EVERY PERSON WITH A DUI SHOULD ALSO BE PARDONED.

45. Let's hope the Guv has enough sense to do nothing to get that airhead off the hook. She will end up killing someone while driving drunk if she does not learn to obey the law; the 45 days in jail could make an impression! You just think about it: What would you do if this idiot was driving drunk and crashed into a vehicle with your family members in it, and they were killed? What if she maimed them or made vegetables out of them? Please think about this before coming to her defense! She=danger ahead! MADD
