What’s with these celebrities getting off so easily? Paris Hilton will most likely only get charged with a misdemeanor even
though she was carrying around cocaine!
Paris Hilton continuously defies the law with her bad behavior — and even though she got busted for cocaine possession in Las Vegas last week, she’ll still walk away with barely a scratch on her record, predicts Las Vegas-based criminal attorney Al Lasso.
“With such a small amount of cocaine, the vast majority get probation. She doesn’t have a record here, so it’s not likely she’ll get jail time,” Lasso tells HollywoodLife.com. “She doesn’t have any felony convictions. Most likely she’ll get probation. Many times it’s knocked down to a gross misdemeanor, which means she wouldn’t be considered a felon.”
Even though it’s a whole lot better than jail time, parole won’t be a walk in the park for the 29-year-old heiress either.
“If she gets parole, Paris will report to her officer frequently (usually once a month),” Lasso explains. “She has to stay drug-free. She has to stay out of trouble. It can last up to five years. In a case like this, normally you have to do about two years.”
After violating parole from a DUI in 2007, Paris spent time in jail and in home confinement. Since then, she’s been caught with marijuana twice – but all charges have been dropped.
Paris’ ability to evade the law and avoid further time in jail astounds those close to her. IN fact, one family friend tells HollywoodLife.com that the only real surprise regarding Paris’ arrest is that it didn’t happen sooner!
“I’m shocked…that it’s taken her so long to get caught,” the insider says.
Do YOU think Paris should go to jail? Does she need to clean up her act?

She should go to jail. What makes her above the law?
I can’t understand how young people look up to these so called celebraties. What has this girl actually accomplished in her life to make her so noteworthy – owait she is a junkie pure and simple.

Poor Paris she is far less bad then those that send boys, girls, men, woman, mothers and fathers to Bush’s war.
Although; as sad as it is humans’ are sensory beings that use many substances to get through their daze.
Right or wrong I’m sure when Paris matures, she will learn; but, hopefully not the hardline way.
Intrestingly; no one is crying about all the chemicals & radioactive substances the medical mafia is mainlining into people and the enviroment.
Sad to say though speed was invented to keep war women slaves working, then it became a weight loss pill for the masses and now it is a bad _ss drug.

Will she go to jail??? Absolutely not!!!!!! Paris is a zero. Has NOTHING to offer society and is a parasite on the public. She is the most disgusting female with NO TALENT but it is only her parents $$$$$$$ that carries her through. If they hadn’t the money they have she would NEVER get into the limelight.

Now that Lindsay Lohan is off drugs (They say) you will see her start to pack on the pounds. The reason many of the female celebrities do coke is to stay thin. TRUE STORY: Back in the early 80s I befriended a very gifted actor here in NYC. We lived near each other and hung out some nights after his play ended. He was stocky but not what I would consider fat. We had planned a vacation together after his play ended. At the last minute he called me to say he couldn’t go because he couldn’t take his coke with him. Not the soda Coke, the other kind. Stunned! He told me he was spending all his TV commercial money and stage money on the stuff. Why? To stay thin. Fast forward two years later. He went out to LA and started making films. I saw his first one and almost fainted in my seat! He had gained almost 100 pounds! Why? He went off coke. He became famous but continued to gain weight. Wonderfully gifted guy. Totally under-used by the industry. Coke is the diet pill of choice by most men/women in the biz. Since I am not in the biz I never used it. I am thankful for small favors!

She had LESS than a gram it would be ridiculous if she actually got jail time.
She should try and get her lawyer to throw the conviction out everyone knows how much shes likes to get high.
The friend is exactly right the only shocking thing is that she has managed not go get caught for years.

I know somone doing 21 years for residual found in a carpet. Way less than a gram! If he’s in jail, she should go too. No double standards when it comes to the law.

Socialite and hotel heiress Paris Hilton cannot keep herself from the headlines. Paris Hilton is the consummate specialist in the endeavor of being arrested for drugs. This time, she was booked for possession of drugs. She was arrested for possession of cocaine in Las Vegas. This is her third substance bust in as many months. She has already been arrested twice for possession of weed.
