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.

106. Why did she even admitt to taking anything, is she that dumb or was she that high??? the only reaseon she got knocked up is to avoid jail time but that it not going to do it. If you are locked up and a family member dies they dont let you out to go to funeral what makes her think getting preggers is gonna make a diffrence.She will either get small jail time or rehab.

107. the funny thing is that it is being 'confirmed' that she is pregnant, but it actually hasn't been. so you have everyone in a frenzie about this baby that we are even sure exists yet... and people ask for continuances all the time - it's not like she's 'complaining' about anything - she doesn't even really speak publicly about anything, except on letterman that i have heard, and she said she will do what she has to do. anyone would take any defense they could if they were facing jail time, i know i would... oh well, i'm sure there will be a new, more messed up post later when we know what is going on lol

108. Nicole is a loser with too much time on her hand's, thats why she smokes pot and sleeps with anyone who will have her. She should go to jail and read some parenting books while she does her time.

109. Facts are facts you people. She was driving the wrong way on the freeway with Marijuana and Vicodin in her system. The LA Police did their job, there was no partiality shown to her and the expert Dr. McGee can testify all he wants--but how can he dispute the results of the blood tests that were done. Her expensive attorney, Holley, can delay this all he wants, and dispute the results of the tests all he wants---but how can they explain why she was driving the wrong way on the freeway? The trial could be delayed today, but I hope she eventually has to spend some time behind bars because she could have easily killed herself or someone else. She and her father (Lionel) continue to deny that she has any substance abuse problems at all.

115. .....I was in the drug testing business for over 10 years.....these tests are quite reliable and nearly always hold up in court........good thing she's got money to flush down the drain because all the big bucks in the world probably won't do her any good.....she just needs to show up, act respectfully and take her lumps.........something tells me celebrities are not going to get quite as much of a free ride as they did in the past........us regular Joes are tired of the rich and famous getting preferrencial treatment......it's time to hold them up to a higher standard because of the many young people who look up to them and insist they are held accountable like the rest of us....

116. All one has to do is look at the pictures to know she is stoned. It comes down to, I could care less what she does to herself; if she wants to kill herself then that is her choice. Now, however that she is pregnant, there is another life involved. The baby is the one everyone should be worrying about at this time, and to do that, we now have to worry about the mother. It makes no difference how much money she has, that is irrelevant. She is a drug addict...no better than a junkie on the street...all her money can do for her is get her into a most 'prestigious' rehab....so I hope all those that say people are jealous of her stop and think about what you are saying...jealous of what? A drug habit? The pain she will go through to get off all drugs. Knowing that perhaps her baby will be mentally challenged or have long lasting mental defects because of her drug use...what is there to be jealous of? No amount of money in the world would make me want to change lives with her....I live comfortably, both monetarily and in my soul.

117. The Judge will decided what Richie needs and I'm sure she'll do time if she doesn't take a plea

118. PS. Anyone could push that bag of bones down... That is why she needs protection.
No one can stop the judge from making a ruling and putting her heroin addicted disgusting persona in jail.

PSS. Her blonde hair extension are as fake as she is & probaly just as dried up as her 2.
