Hollywood Hit and Run Suspect Pleads Not Guilty

Heather AugerHeather Auger, the woman accused of the dramatic hit and run incident caught on tape by TMZ, plead not guilty to three felonies yesterday in court.

Auger faces three felonies: leaving the scene of an accident, DUI causing injury and driving with a .08 blood-alcohol level causing injury.

TMZ cameras caught the aftermath on camera -- including the ridiculous confrontation between Auger and the victim's friend after she allegedly fled the scene.

17. Get Real...take your own advice, get real. She HIT a pedestrian...she was drunk...GUILTY. She is pretty much a an ugly troll when she's drunk. She'll be even uglier in prison stripes.

18. This is not hard to figure out. TMZ already said in an earlier article she has access to lot's of $$$$$.

She'll hire an army of lawyers and attempt to get off on a technicality ala OJ and R. Kelly.

19. There were PLENTY of witnesses to the accident and to the fact that she did indeed try to drive off after hitting the victim...not to mention that the breatholizer test is irrefutible. I cannot believe this girl has the audacity to plea "not guilty". She may not WANT to believe that she did what she did...but she chose to get behind the wheel after drinking WAY too much and changed her life forever, possibly the life of her victim forever as well. She made the choices, time to pay the consequences.

20. With all of that money, she should get plastic surgery on that nose. It is Hollywood, you know.

21. Here we go again with blaming the victim 'oh what a whirl'. Doesn't matter if the pedestrian was drunk or not, still 100% the fault of the driver.

I'm surprised she didn't take a plea bargain.

22. So not only does she put people's lives in danger, now she's gonna waste some tax money. I hope they throw the book at her big time.

23. Hey Get Real, are you her? You're sure defending her like you are. And who cares what she looks like? Ugly or not, she was drunk. And driving. And hit someone. And kept driving. And it's pretty safe to say that EVERYONE knows what happened, since it was caught on tape. Next time, sweetie, take a cab.

24. This makes me sick. Hopefully, she will end up rotting in jail. How can anyone justify driving drunk and then hitting someone. So, it's not on camera. Enough people saw her do it. She's going down.

25. As much as I hate it, she has to plead not guilty to get a jury trial on the 3 felonies. There may be minor points in her sentencing that will reduce the sentence.

The person who defended her, is either her or a close friend/family. If they saw the video and saw her protesting that she didn't hit anyone, and saw how drunk she was, there is no way they'd believe she was innocent. Even if you know Drunky, you can't go by Drunky's recollection of the events, because she was so damn drunk she didn't even know she hit an actual human being.

26. I would like to start with saying I wish the woman she hit a speedy recovery and I wish nothing but the best for her. The drunkard who hit her is lucky in a way. God forbid there had been a woman with a child who crossed that idiot's path. She could have killed someone- an infant, child etc etc. Even if she hadn't that night Lord only knows she would have driven drunk again. She is SO pathetic pleading not guilty-goes to show she hasn't learned ANYTHING. She has no conception of the gravity of her actions. Next time she does it (bc we all know there WILL be a next time unless she has her licensed taken away) I hope the only person she injures is herself. She doesn't deserve the privilege of having a license AND she can't handle the responsibility. How pathetic. I hope she wakes up and realizes she could have KILLED someone.

27. dumbass, her brain must have fell out of her ear hole when she hit the woman. she should have plead no contest. tisk, tisk,tisk....

28. As stated in a previous comment, EVERYBODY arrested for DUI pleads guilty at arraignment. If she has no prior criminal record, she'll get off with close to the minimum for whatever lesser charges the state offers.

29. Correction on the above comment.... That should read "pleads NOT GUILTY at arraignment", instead of "guilty".

30. look at my name I know these streets as well as the DUI laws. I've never had one and never will I don't drink and drive-but a person that I know- I went to court with them for DUI- First offense major fine-if she has no priors. But the hit and run and the fact that I'm sure the victim is pressing charges. Blair Burke can get her about 98 minutes in jail and a major fine..and the big fees for Burke. I've seen Blair Burke in action she's incredible so confident, I'd trust her any with my life.
