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.

63. How much time should she get? Leave her in until the baby is born, otherwise she will just tske more drugs and the poor child won't have a snowball's chance in hell being born normal. Then take the baby away from her and give the child to someone who will love it. Nicole already abused her child, and proved she doesn't care about it. Nasty uncaring skank, THAT'S YOUR BABY, NICOLE, a human being and you don't give a rat's ass about it's health already. Here's what stinks, Nicole - YOU!

64. Anyone would fight it's what you do, The DA will come up with a deal unless they want the publicity, It's 101.
I don't believe Nicole ever said she would not take what ever punishment handed to her, But to expect her to not fight for at least a reduced charge is just stupid and naive on your part.

65. she can still refute the statements she gave to the police - her best move actually was not even speaking about the facts in public, since it can be used against her later on. so by not saying anything, it's not saying that she admits to it, but is being smart about it - they can still refute it at the motion hearings. and nj is not that bad - how horrible ! :-)

66. I am the average American. It is painfully obvious to me and everyone else that Nicole Ritchie is going to jail just because she's black. This horrible racism that goes on all throughout our country must be stopped. I think that Nicole Ritchie is living proof that black is beautiful and I hope that we will see past the kind of anti-Semitic racism that sent a crying Paris Hilton to the LA County jail.

67. I recently attended the funeral of a 7 month old girl killed by a drunk driver. Over 400 people attended the funeral as well. This was the driver's THIRD offense. He had left a bar, and slammed into the back of her parent's vehicle when they were stopped for a red light. He is being held in Pensacola, Florida without bond until his trial. Harsh? Perhaps, but it will keep him from driving drunk. This has nothing to do with being jealous of Nicole being thin, or fat women sitting on a couch, it has to do with a drugged and drunk person going the WRONG WAY on the interstate. This is her THIRD offense. Pregnant or not, I certainly hope she does not get off with a slap on the wrist.
