Celebrity Justice
Paris Won't Appeal

Paris HiltonParis Hilton has issued the following statement:

"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.

As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

76. Who broke this news first?

77. Some of you are so gullible. All rich people in the public eye have publicists. All it proves is that Paris has one who is earning her paycheck. Nice speech.

78. Finally, she listened to her Publicist and not her parents.

The long road to redemption begins. Actions speak louder than words. I am sure she will emulate our illlustrious President's daughters and contribute to the "War on Terror".

Oops. Another fantasy.

79. She's just trying to save her "career," whatever that is.

Too bad we all know what she really is - a whiny, selfish, self-absorbed b*otch.

The best thing she can do after getting out is to just disappear!

80. I am now a fan of Paris Hilton's.

81. Like this worthless skank cares about the troops! But glad to see she has decided to quit boo hooing and finally act like an adult!

82.

The American Media does NOT lie to Americans. SO it IS the statement of Paris Hilton.
You just hate that she is smarter than you.

83. WOW Paris, now, that is a grown up woman talking! What took you so long

84. In the future, when we see someone famous taking it on the chin, we'll look back at these times, and say "they're showing real Parisian values"...
or we might not.

86. #35 you said it perfectly. What goes on with Paris is her business. She's in jail. What a group of rapid dogs. She brought it on herself but what business is it of anyone's? Losers

87. Her bitter lesson is what? That she isn't loved by the masses as she was deluded to believe?
The focus in this case was the miscarriage of justice in releasing you, not that you are any more special than Nicole or Lohan will be when their time comes. Watch the coverage when Nicole's case comes up, having been allowed to drive since her citation. Someone really blew it there.

88. The only "reflecting" she's been doing, is looking at anything shiny in her cell for the sight of her own face to comfort her..

89. hmmm never understood where those blood for oil comments come from.

Where is this oil we are supposed to be stealing? Sure hasn't helped gas prices.

Posted at 8:42PM on Jun 9th 2007 by Are you kidding me?

90. Does anyone out there believe this actually came from her? Trust me, it came from someone else trying to make her look better for the public's eye. Probably her parents. You see, they think the majority of people ( not in their circles ) are easy to feed a bunch of crap. DON'T BUY INTO IT. It wasen't a statement from her. Her parents can't even talk to her until tomorrow. Sun and Tues. only while in the med ward.
