Paris Hilton has released the following statement regarding media coverage of her recent sentencing:

“After reading the media’s coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should — no matter how slightly.

I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation.

No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse.”

I’m glad to hear that she takes the matter seriously. But if she’s ready to face the consequences, why is she appealing? Is 45 days for probation violation really that unusual? You tell me… I don’t know that much about the U.S. justice system, but it doesn’t seem harsh at all.
