The Paris Hilton School of Law
Paris Hilton fought the law and the law won. Now she's ready for a rematch.
The jail-bound heiress said Wednesday that she believes she received a harsher punishment for violating her probation on an alcohol-related driving charge than the average citizen would have in the same situation.
While Hilton may enjoy VIP treatment in most areas of her life, this is one occasion when she would prefer not to be singled out from the masses.
"No one is above the law. I surely am not," she said in a statement issued through her attorney. "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."
Though the Simple Life star is doing everything in her power to stay out of jail—from appealing her sentence to petitioning Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a pardon—she claims she is well aware of the gravity of the charges against her.
"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," she said.
"I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation."
Just as long as those consequences don't involve any time behind bars, that is.
As Hilton prepares to appeal her sentence, rumors swirled that she had fired her attorney Howard Weitzman and replaced him with high-powered DUI lawyer Richard Hutton.
Though Hutton confirmed Wednesday that he has indeed joined the Hilton legal roster, Weitzman told E! News that he continues to represent the hotel namesake as well.
Should Hilton fail in her efforts to remain free—a likely outcome according to legal experts—she is due to report to the Century Regional Detention Center by June 5 to begin serving her 45-day sentence.
In the meantime, Hilton has returned to the place where her troubles began—the driver's seat. The celebutante's suspended license was reinstated in March, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles, making it perfectly legal for her to hit the road again.
