Hollywood Hit and Run Suspect Pleads Not Guilty

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.

50. Dear You have No Idea and Get REal,
I understand your trying to defend this girl. Everyone needs a defence. But your denying obvious facts and thats makes you loose credibility and shows your weakness. You cant deny that she fled the scene of an accident and even if, for the sake of argument, the girl crossing the road WAS drunk, the DRIVER DIDNT EVEN NOTICE HITTING HER!! So if someone RUns illegally into the middle of the road, THE GIRL STILL HIT HER AND DIDNT EVEN NOTICE!! She was drunk and shouldn't have been behind the wheel. Period.
Not to mention in defence of the victim, even if she did cross the road drunk, IT WAS OUTSIDE OF A CLUB WITH TONS OF PPL!! As a driver, when your driving thru a parking lot, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL FOR PEDESTRIANS!!
Therefore both of you, your defence is weak and making you look stupid trying to defend obvious points.
When you deny the truth,y ou become a liar. No one belives a liar. this girl is screwed!

51. To Get Real and YouHaveNoIDEA; Let me get this straight.... You say I'm a bad person because I called her an ugly little troll (free speech), and she is the good person w/ 3 felonies putting someone in the hospital. I don't understand your logic. And, yes it is her fault. She knows it or she wouldn't have tried to flee the scene. I'm sure she'll get off easy and go back under the bridge where she belongs. Am I the only one that thinks her face looks like the little troll dolls with the fuzzy hair???

52. I can't believe she pled not guilty when it was caught on tape (althought th actual accident itself was NOT caught on tape, I can't imagine that there weren't at least a FEW eye witnesses standing out in front of the club). she must have one helluva lawyer.... Hey - does anyone know WHAT COURTHOUSE this is all taking place in?

53. Are you people really this stupid that you don't know how the system works? You don't need to have any experience with the system, just a little bit of common sense, to know that an arraignment and initial pleading is merely a formality, not an actual assertion or denial of guilt.

No never mind my first question. After reading a few more posts, I'm CONVINCED that most of you are in fact that stupid. I can only hope that one day you are accused of something and are stupid enough to blindly plead guilty without a lawyer or any sort of due process considerations (yeah, right! I know how most of you people work: "responsibility" is for everyone else to exercise).

Get off your high horses and get a damn clue!

54. To You Have No Idea and GetReal...You are obviously friends with the troll (yes I Agree she looks exactly like the little troll dolls with fuzzy hair). Are you defending her because you need rehab also? Maybe you need to take your own alcohol inventory. Sounds like you both have drinking issues.

55. I meant comment #18...damnit...must've been deleted....pleady guilty is merely a formality-get a f'n clue.

56. She will not get off. She was caught on video, had a blood alcohol level of .17, a little over twice the legal limit, damage to her car, and witnesses. She will go to jail where she belongs.

57. How annoying. She did it, they have it on camera and they tested her and she had a way too high BAC!!! I hope that drunk bitch rots in jail for a while and will think twice b4 drinking and driving!
