Paris gives up on jail appeal
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
claimed he was too busy to review her case and desperate attempts by
lawyers for a last minute appeal have proven unsuccessful. So what’s an
heiress facing three weeks up the river to do? Pack her bags and hope
for the best. A statement obtained by TMZ.com revealed this morning that Paris Hilton has dropped her appeal and is ready to face the music—in this case, 23 days behind bars for violation of her probation. The
heiress, sometimes actress and occasional singer has been burning the
midnight oil with her lawyers in an attempt to get her sentence
overturned—she claims out of fear for her life. But with her
time reduced from 45 days and the promise she’ll be held in a celebrity
cell away from the general prison population, according to Hilton’s
people, the 26-year-old socialite has realised this is the best she can
hope for. Hilton’s legal troubles have been the subject of mass media attention for the past several weeks, even prompting Aaron Spelling’s widow Candy to write an open letter urging Hilton to accept her punishment and use the time to find the real Paris. According to TMZ.com, Hilton is expected to start serving her sentence before June 5.
