Celebrity Justice
Richie to Prosecutor -- Your Drug Test on Me Stinks!

TMZ has obtained a document that holds the key to Nicole Richie's DUI defense -- she will claim the drug tests cops performed on her were bogus. Life isn't simple!
Click to launch!
The declaration, filed today by Shawn Chapman Holley, Nicole's lawyer, states, "Dr. Terence McGee as a defense expert ... will challenge the prosecutor's scientific evidence and the conclusions reached by the drug recognition expert."

The pregnant Richie's trial was set to begin tomorrow morning. Chapman Holley appeared before the Commissioner today and asked for a continuance until August 5, because Dr. McGee is not available until then. The commissioner ordered them back to court tomorrow to decide whether he will grant the request for a continuance.

18. Vicodin is for pain, it doesn't make you drive the wrong way down a highway. Obviously she did not take it, if they are fighting the tests.

19. I don't think that driving on the wrong side of the FREEWAY is just a "simple mistake". She could have killed a car with young children in it - but it's okay, because she giggled about it on Letterman...

20. I hope her lawyer is better at oral argument than she is at written - referring to Nicole as "Jayceon Terrell Taylor" on page 2 of the submission is probably not the best plan if you want to please the judge - or Nicole for that matter.

21. No more delays and special treatment! FIVE delays is more than any other citizen would get!

Call Commissioner Lubell and let him know what you think: (818) 500-3525.

22. Hey, I accidently went down the wrong way and I was not stoned!

23. It appears that Janice has never taken Vicodin since she doesn't know that pain killers make you drowsy and disoriented. Pop a valium there, Janice

25. What the world doesn't need, another parent who doesn't understand responsibility or consequences. She doesn't need, nor deserve, a child...she needs a parent herself! Pathetic!

26. shes one dumb bitch, she confessed to drugs when she was arrested now shes going to contradict her own testimony,she going to jail just like her buddy,paris

27. Not to worry, She half black isn't she? That right there means She Won't go to jail. She will get special treatment...dah...If she was white, she'd aleady be jail right now. What they wanted to do is get another 30-day extention ( after they already got 1 extention) so the HO could crawl into court pregers "showing" to get even more sympathy. Unlike Paris this Ho did break the law, and she's dangerous. Come on..driving the wrong way on a major LA freeway..jacked up on drugs, after a previous DUI conviction...She should be locked-up right now!!

28. yes, I have taken it, and no, it does not effect all people that way. You don't know that is why she went the wrong way. She may have been lost.

29. I have taken prescription pain killers, and unfortunaly had to drive, but I NEVER have felt disoriented, or "stoned", you have to take quite a few or mix them with alcohol to make a mistake that stupid.

I agree, how funny would it have been if she killed a family in an oncomming car! I am glad I don't live in LA, I have a better chance of getting into a car wreck with a F*d up Celeb than I do winning the lottery, talk about odds!

Being rich and famous does not give you the right to put the lives of others in danger, If they want to coke up drink up or smoke up, go ahead but don't put the rest of at risk, they have enough money for a driver, USE ONE!

30. Joey. Not sure what planet your from, but blacks do not get special treatment. Of course racism had to be brought up. Typical unimaginative comment.
