Dangers of Drunk Driving

Paris Hilton is sentenced to spend 45 days in jail, because of driving under the alcohol influence with suspended driver license.

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer said that what Paris Hilton has done is "violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related driving case". Last Year Hilton had signed a document that says she agrees with terms of alcohol-related driving case, but the incident shows she's forgooten what she has signed. When the judge reminded her about that document, she said, that she's a very busy peson and she usually signs any document she's told to sign. When the officer noticed Hilton driving under the influence, her blood alcohol level was measured at 0.08.

Additional guilt of Paris is that her driver license has been suspended from November 30 to March 31, and she had no permission to drive. But Hilton was trying to persuade everyone she didn't know her license was suspended.

"I can't believe that either attorney did not tell her that the suspension had been upheld," the judge said. "She wanted to disregard everything that was said and continue to drive no matter what."

"I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all," Hilton told the judge before he announced the sentence.

Hilton's attorney Howard L. Weitzman was trying tell the judge that she didn't mean to drive under the influence and that she needs a special treatment due to her special position in society. "It's clear she was selectively prosecuted because of who she is," Weitzman said.

But the judge said that Hilton is not a special person and she doesn ,, t need any treatment, moreover, being the heirless of Hilton doesn ,, t allow her to ignore the law. The decision of the judge shows, that nothing can be above Los Angeles law.

So the final sentence is that Paris Hilton will stay through June 5 at Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood. While being in a jail, she will be treated as everyone else sentenced: she ,, ll not have access to her office and will not be able to administer anything connected to her job.

While Paris Hilton left the court she didn't tell anything to the reporters, she seemed to be very serious. Court entrance looked like there was a red carpet event " lots of photographers and reporters were trying to take a photo of Paris.
