Paris could go to jail for 4 years

Paris Hilton facing up to 4 years in prison

Paris Hilton is facing up to 4 years in prison after the Las Vegas D.A. officially charged her with felony cocaine possession today (she had .8 grams on her when she was arrested on Friday -- roughly one quarter of an 8-ball). She's just lucky "stupidity" isn't a felony in Nevada or she'd be facing another 20-30 years. From TMZ:

After the traffic stop and a crowd of 100 people gathered around, Hilton said she was "extremely embarrassed" and asked the cop if she could go to the bathroom at the Wynn Hotel.

At the hotel, Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so the cop handed Paris her purse: "As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand."

The cop also says ... inside the purse was a "broken tablet of Albuterol" -- a prescription medication used to control wheezing. And cops say they found Zig Zag wrappers ... commonly used to roll joints.

Paris then admitted the Albuterol was hers but she said the cocaine was not and claimed the purse was not hers -- that she had borrowed it from a friend. The cop questioned Paris about the cocaine and according to cops Paris gave an odd answer: "She said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum."

There is literally no way Paris could have handled this worse. A normal (read: non-retarded) person -- realizing that she had cocaine on her possession -- would have immediately hailed a cab home to take them far far away from where the twelve uniformed men with handcuffs in their back pockets and an extensive knowledge of the criminal justice code were arresting her boyfriend. But Paris isn't a normal person so of course she didn't do that. And now she's facing almost half-a-decade in jail. It'd be like if you were standing in front of two doors -- one with the words "Yellow Cab" printed on it and the other with "Prison Rape" -- and you walked through the "Prison Rape" door.

why are you people getting so Up in arms? don't you realize we the law has 3 tiers or sets of laws 1. for Politicians 1. for Celebrities and another for the working man who pays his taxes , You guess which one gets the shaft under real law.

John

Thank GOD the rules do not apply to Paris Hilton...

Our legal system is a joke.

Now let's all pray that the LVPD is not as consistently incompetent as LAPD and actually gets the conviction. YAY!

Fred

It's over for Paris, with a felony you can't get a real job.

Frank

This may be bad. How will if effect Paris' chances of running for president in 2012? She almost ran in 2008. That, or she could be a VP on the Dem ticket, running with Mr. Obama.

Yves Sarasin

she is a sick poppy, what would expect from a sick poppy...only bad stuff. She needs to disappear for a long time, 4 years is a modest start, we'll take it from there.

Paul

Oh Paris, what have you done?? Don't you know you are not supposed to carry dope on your person? I fear you have been running around with the wrong sort of people. You need to be careful of the company you keep, some of them are bad influances.

LDM

Up to 4 years?...On the Blohan-Scale that equals 7-12 hours!!!

They should give her public service washing down sleazy Vegas ho's..."That's Hot"...

Lilly

We will pray for Paris, and hope she does not go to prison. Her light shines to brightly to be smothered in a prison. Be brave Paris, we love you.

This dumb whore isn't going to jail for four years, I'll be surprised if she goes to jail for four weeks.Shes rich you assholes!

If that was me getting arrested,I'd STILL be in jail right now! And then I'd be doing four or five years. Don't you know who she is? Shes Paris, she doesn't go to jail, you idiots.

PAZUZU

Totally agree. You guys live in the U.S. where fame and wealth seem to equal legal immunity. Can't someone be made an example of? Time to wake up the spoiled brat brigade that laugh at your system.

She was popped for drugs in africa and in europe on the same vacation trip but they let her off too. I agree the she should be made an example of. I'd be actually happy to see her do a real 6 month with no early release. More time would be even greater
