Nicole Richie May Do Some Time
Thursday, December 14, 2006
Nicole Richie may actually have to do some jail time due to her recent DUI. Richie pled no contest four years ago to driving under the influence. Under California law, if Richie is convicted of DUI as a result of Monday's arrest, the judge must impose a jail sentence.
TMZ reports: "The law requires a mandatory sentence of five consecutive days in county jail as well as a one year license suspension for anyone twice-convicted of DUI. In addition, Richie would be ordered to attend an alcohol education program for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related."
I'm not sure how well Nicole would do in Jail, but I know how to survive in the big house. When I was wrongly accused of killing a neighborhood girl, it broke my heart. Luckily, I had a lawyer who saw through the racism. He didn't care that I was white, and was willing to fight for my innocence.
