Paris Hilton sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation
The famous heiress had been arrested last September for driving without a license and under the influence of alcohol
The famous heiress Paris Hilton has been sentenced to 45 days in prison by a Los Angeles court for violating the terms of her probation, imposed for driving while intoxicated and without a license. The young woman, a constant figure in the gossip press for her lively nightlife, received the sentence with tears in her eyes that she quickly covered with dark glasses before leaving the court.
Judge Michael T. Sauer was harsh and forceful in sentencing her, following the recommendation that the prosecution presented on April 30. Even so, instead of proceeding with the immediate imprisonment of the tabloid star, he offered the young woman to voluntarily surrender to serve her sentence before June 5, the deadline to appear in jail. If Hilton fails to comply with this requirement, the sentence will automatically be extended to 90 days.
The rich heiress of the hotel chain that bears her surname has reached this sentence after continuous incidents with the police, related to traffic violations. Hilton, 26, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol last September, charges she accepted in January, when she was sentenced to 36 months probation as well as attending an alcohol and alcohol re-education course. to pay a fine of 1,500 dollars (about 1,100 euros).
Blunt sentence
Since then, and after having her driving license revoked, the actress and singer has continued to drive, despite being stopped three times by the police. The prosecution now asked for her imprisonment, a request that the judge has forcefully granted, without giving Hilton another alternative other than jail. Sauer condemns Hilton to serve a sentence in the women's prison in Lynwood County (California), whose prison regime is more severe than in the city centers.
Hilton addressed the judge three times, assuring that she did not do it on purpose and that she had received instructions from her spokesperson, Elliot Minz, that she could continue driving if it was for work reasons, explanations that did not convince the magistrate. .
After hearing the sentence, Paris's mother, Kathy, approached the representatives of the prosecution and, ironically, asked if she could ask for an autograph. It also didn't help Hilton much that she was ten minutes late for the hearing, held amid heavy paparazzi coverage.
