 Paris Hilton said she is ready to “face the consequences” for violating her probation stemming from her DUI last September. After reviewing endless media coverage, Hilton felt as though she needed to clear up some misconceptions about herself. Paris Hilton's attorney released a statement on her behalf.
"After reading the media's coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should - no matter how slightly. I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation,” Hilton said.
Paris also stated no one is above the law, including herself, and she does not expect leniency.
"No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse," she added.
Hilton’s attorney filed an appeal this week. Most legal experts agree Hilton has little chance of winning the appeal. However, an appeal may delay her June 5th surrender date.
It’s unlikely the petition to save Paris Hilton will have an influence on the court or the governor. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger only has jurisdiction in felony cases and only after time has been served.
Paris’ only hope at this point is that she will be released early due to overcrowding in the Los Angeles jails. Pray for a riot. “Free Paris! Free Paris!”
