She's asking her also-famous Governor for a pardon, and will likely get a shortened sentence, but Paris Hilton has some fans rallying for her freedom, too (though we suspect some of these websites are mainly to push merchandise). Seems like many don't want to see the heiress pay her dues...here in New York, however, Paris is a little light on a fanbase. Yesterday two "Free Paris" rallies took place and AMNY reports they had a "combined turnout of roughly eight participants, a throng of journalists, and a Paris double." Though it seems the few that did show up just wanted to witness a "freak show."
David Seaman, the head of Free Paris Hilton Now told AMNY, "Although the physical turnout wasn't huge today, the online support has been tremendous." Seaman isn't a disillusioned teenager lobbying for Paris's "freedom" on MySpace, he is a 21-year adult. His site states:
"This is about a young woman being oppressed. If it were your sister or daughter, you wouldn't laugh about her being sent to jail for 45 days due to a legal technicality. Prison changes people - Paris does not deserve this."
Getting a suspended license for drinking and driving, and then driving, is apparently just a "technicality" these days - though it's true celebs have gotten off for much more serious crimes (Rebecca Gayheart, Brandy, and Matthew Broderick have all killed people while driving!). If justice is indeed served, Paris will likely be headed to jail on June 5th to serve about half of her 45 day sentence.
The rally yesterday took place at Crosby and Prince Streets, a backup location when Seaman realized that NYU students were taking up his original Washington Square Park location for their silly graduation (he actually said he didn't want to "steal their thunder"). Wonder what he thinks of Paris Hilton's autopsy.





fuck paris. every regular joe, caught driving DRUNK with a suspended license, would be fucked in this situation. throw her worthless ass in the slammer. mabye she'll learn to be just a bit humble. but, probably not.
yawn
That's got to be the most pathetic attemp to get laid or even recognized by a celeberity. And the guy is in his 40s...
you should have posted a picture of this loser so when i think of douchebag, his face comes to mind.
Hope she gets abused in prison.....a much needed wake up call for someone who has done NOTHING in life but get handed an empire on a jewel encrusted Sidekick.
Parisite Hilton deserves 45 YEARS in prison, not 45 days.
Hope she rots in jail.
You left off first lady Laura Bush as notable persons who have killed people with a car. (That is in no way meant as mitigation of the PH situation)
don't blame paris -- she's just a product of pathetically useless parents who've hardly lifted a finger their entire lives. putting her in jail is useless. this will just piss away taxpayer money, and she'll profit from the experience by either making a reality TV show, or getting a book deal. instead, she should be forced walk around south central LA wearing a "kill rodney king" t-shirt.

i think a lot of people might actually believe the sentence was a little bit much for driving with a suspended license - would you want your sister or brother to spend 45 days in jail for that crime - but probably were intimidated by the whole national media thing
Prison changes people? GOOD.
She's not going to federal pound me in the ass prison here. Come on.
Blame the fucking media for over exposing this fucking pathetic slut to shamelessly flaunt her millions and act as if she is above the law..
she's going to a hard-assed jail, but will be segregated and only allowed out of her 12'x8' cell 1-hour each day.
Although she's appealing, if she does not report to the jail for her 45 day sentence, she'll get 90...
