Alleged "Bling Ring" Burglar Wonders If Paris and Lindsay Might Go Easy on Him

Nicholas Prugo's attorney admits it's "clearly risky" to have his client meet his alleged victims face to face

Talk about your last-ditch appeals.

Nicholas Prugo, an alleged member of the so-called Hollwood Bling Ring, isn't going to be offered a plea deal anytime soon and is hoping to plead his case directly to a few burglary victims—Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, et al.,—themselves, Prugo's attorney, Daniel Horowitz, exclusively tells E! News.

Now there's an idea.

"I want them to meet him and make an assessment of who he is and, once they get to know him, see how they feel about how he should be punished," Horowitz says. "Maybe it'll be bad, maybe it'll be better [than the possible trial outcome and sentencing]. It's clearly risky, but I bet once they meet with him they will find compassion."

Or, Lindsay will only be able to think of how "violated and uncomfortable" she felt after her house was burglarized. (When she's not thinking about other stuff, of course.)

Lohan, Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, Brian Austin Green and Audrina Patridge all testified before a grand jury in June about the respective 2008-09 break-ins at their L.A. home. Prugo was identified from surveillance footage taken at Lohan's place.

But this might still be Prugo's best shot at getting a judge or jury to see him as less of a criminal mastermind and more of a misguided teenager who deserves a second chance.

All of Horowitz's motions to surpress certain pieces of evidence and attempts at negotiating a plea deal for his client have been denied. The next hearing in the case is Oct. 15.

A spokesman for the L.A. District Attorney's Office declined to comment on the potential meetings between Prugo and the stars.

Accused Bling Ring accomplice Alexis Neiers served 30 days in jail for the Bloom break-in. She pleaded no contest to first-degree residential burglary but immediately proclaimed her innocence afterward.

Prugo contemplated copping to the charges last year but ultimately pleaded not guilty to seven counts of felony residential burglary.
