Celebrity Justice
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.

33. She said on the video, "I take full responsibility." Now she is pleading "not guilty." What a lame bitch. She also was fake crying on the video. She needs rehab. At the beginning of the video the drunken bitch was even SMILIING. I hope the judge takes a close look at this video.

34.
Like M.Eazy said: pleading not guilty for this charge is standard operating procedure -- a protocol where the charge is being weighed.

One thing that was clear in the video: she's not heartless or arrogant. She was freeaked about it and sure she was probably at that moment more upset about the consequences of what she did than teh effect on teh victim, but she was also probably in shock.

She made an awful mistake and should definitely face consequences for it, but she is by no mean a heartless bitch or a Paris wannabe (or a "troll").

35. GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY! I hope she gets jail time, community service, pay a fine and pay for the victim's hospital bill. Her ass needs to be taught a lesson for drinking driving and hit n run.

38. She pleaded not guilty because now she is a celeb and knows she will only spend a few hours in jail due to over crowding. She plays her cards right she will be the next Paris. Nicole, Lindsay, and Kloe...

She is pathetic!

43. TO: don_quixote (and others who have made similar comments in reference to others who have committed this crime) - "She made an awful mistake and should definitely face consequences for it, but she is by no mean a heartless bitch or a Paris wannabe (or a "troll")."

While I agree with you that she was clearly sorry for what she did (and any laughter on her part was clearly nervousness) drinking and driving is NOT a mistake. I'm all about second chances and whatnot, but D&D is an intentional choice.
