Brother of Paris Hilton Pleads Guilty
According to a Los Angeles Times article on March 3, 2015 the brother of Paris Hilton, Conrad, is scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom to be arraigned on an assault charge. This stems from an in July of last year incident last year when the younger brother of the socialite and reality TV star became belligerent on a flight from London. He was said to have been going into the bathroom on a few occasions and used it for smoking tobacco and marijuana. He became abusive to an attendant and grabbed another by the shirt. He was heard to call the attendants and the crew “peasants”.
Then he attempted to hit one of the crew members after the problem with the attendants before he returned to his seat and fell asleep. The crew then restrained him. Others on the flight were said to be upset and frightened. At one point Mr. Conrad Hilton told an attendant he would have her fired and that his father had once paid $300,000 to get his son out of a similar incident on another flight.
There is a plea agreement that Mr. Hilton has signed that admits guilt and he promises to show up for all future court dates and not argue any points of the case during the arraignment. He does face up to six months in jail and a year of supervised release.
A California assault charge is a bad mark on a person’s record. If you or someone you know has a hearing scheduled for a crime, a criminal defense attorney is a must. As this case shows even when a suspect is guilty the negotiations to mitigate the punishment can be accomplished if the attorney has criminal defense experience. Having the right criminal defense attorney could even lead to a dismissal of the charge or having the charge reduced to a lesser one with a much lighter sentence.
