2006年，只要你不曾與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)隔絕，一定會(huì)知曉這條新聞——話題女王希爾頓為“漢堡”惹火燒身
酒后駕車遭警察起訴。不過(guò)，自始至終，這位希爾頓酒店女繼承都認(rèn)為自己“清白”。雖然她確實(shí)未通過(guò)血液酒精檢測(cè)，但希爾頓始終認(rèn)為是警察故意把事情搞大了。新年伊始，洛杉磯高級(jí)法院收到希爾頓律師呈遞的“無(wú)罪申訴狀”。據(jù)悉，法庭在審理此案前將于1月23日舉行一場(chǎng)聽(tīng)證會(huì)。如果未來(lái)法院定“酒駕罪名”成立，社交名媛希爾頓有可能面臨最高六個(gè)月的有期徒刑以及一千美元罰款。

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton pleaded innocent to drunk driving on Tuesday after she was arrested in
September in Hollywood while she was hurrying to get a late-night burger.
Hilton did not attend the brief hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court at
which her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, entered
the not guilty plea.
The 25-year-old heir to the Hilton hotel fortune was not required to be in
court because the charges, driving under the
influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level over
California's legal limit of .08, are misdemeanors.
Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer set a pretrial hearing for Jan. 23 and
said it would go to trial within a month of that date.
The socialite and reality TV star faces a maximum penalty of six months in
jail and a $1,000 fine if she is convicted, though first-time offenders are
often given probation and required
to attend alcohol counseling.
Hilton was stopped by police in Hollywood for driving erratically. She failed
a sobriety test and was taken into custody. She later told KIIS-FM radio that
she had been to a fund-raising party after a long day shooting a music video and
had just one drink.
"I had one margarita (and) was starving because I had not eaten all day.
Maybe I was speeding a little bit and I got pulled over," Hilton said.
"I was just really hungry and I wanted to have an In-N-Out Burger," she said,
referring to the popular, California-based fast-food chain.
Hilton's spokesman has said that her blood alcohol level registered "the
absolute minimum amount of alcohol in your system that would justify an arrest."
