Paris -- I'm Not Above the Law

Paris Hilton has issued the following statement through attorney Richard Hutton:

"After reading the media's coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should -- no matter how slightly.

I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation.

No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."

511. Wow...! The Majority of the comments here are soo Cold and Callous it makes Paris appear Nun-like and as pure as the driven snow! Sure, she broke probation, Sure, she gotta do 45 days like us Normal people ... I think it will be Good for her, and maybe she'll grow up some! It seemed to help old Martha Stewart come down to Earth..

I've done a little Country Jail time over the years myself due to a Gold digging Ex Wife who nailed me for a Rediculous amount of Child Support ... Thank Goodness that crap is over, But I can say doing time can be easy or hard, depending on the mental outlook. Do NOT Count the Hours or Days, Look forward to the simple things like Breakfast, Dinner and Supper.. Order Commissary stuff, like jolly ranchers, crackers, and goodies, read books and Sleep ya ass off as long as ya can. The time will fly past before you know it!

512. Give me a break. You're not "above" the law? PLEASE. If anyone else had gotten caught driving on a suspended license under the influence, they would be serving a lot more time than what you got. It angers me how some rich airhead such as Paris Hilton can get away with ANYTHING because she has money. She drove under the influence because she knew she could get away with it.

513. Oh please! Give Paris a break people! She dosent think she's above the law, if she did don't you think she would have payed her way out of a jail sentence! I'm sure deep down she is a respecable, wholesome and down to earth person. People just looooooove to poop on Paris. If she is such a horrible, selfish person, don't read stories about her! She's famous for a reason, and this lattest debacle is just another reason we can't get enough. Just take her for what she is, an entertainer!

515. Listen to these obviously-COACHED speeches (written by James Carville, no doubt):

"I absolutely realise how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired."

But ENDANGERING "the little people" is just fine and dandy with her.

"I'm not above the law."

NOOOO--- her royal highness just she just thinks she deserves a PARDON for deliberately violating probation!

"I just want fair treatment."

So do we-- and what would WE get for a similar offense?

It seems she's been vomiting all over the rest of us all her life, and now she thinks she's entitled-- but I'd forgive her if she's just go away and never come back, since this arrest will just mean free publicity-- even more than giving enemas at fat-camp. Unfortunately, I think "we'll always have Paris."

516. wow! If she goes to jail she goes to jail, which she should, she's a blonde head trophy wife skank, who deserves to go thier! who's naieve to think she's a decent person/hard worker entertainer. She's an aneroexic bitch and the whole world knows it, the people protesting to get her out just want to fit her mold of "perfectioness". She stars in a reality tv show which she admits isn't really reality, and if she's going to jail for a suspended license then she should go to jail, and under the influence of alcohol, she shoudlnt have a group of protesters to get her out then if she's caught doing things, just cuz she's a celeb. Were all american citizens and the law doesnt excuse someone cuz thier a celeb, the fact that people are protesting for her to be freed with excusese like, she shouldn't cuz she didn't do this or that or only dirtballs go thier is insane.
