Sad But True

Paris Hilton spent more time in jail than Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

Let's review the charges:

*Libby was found guilty of two counts of perjury (lying to a grand jury), one count of making a false statement to the FBI and one of obstruction of justice.

He was found not guilty on a separate count of making a false statement to the FBI.

*Paris pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent.

She was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

Two other traffic stops and failure to enroll in a mandated alcohol education program are what landed the socialite back in court.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies stopped Hilton on Feb. 27 and charged her with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off. Hilton was also required to enroll in an alcohol education program by Feb. 12. As of April 17, she had not enrolled.


Happy 4th of July, everyone!
