One day after being caught red-handed behind the wheel of a car YET AGAIN, Paris Hilton has put her new lawyer, Richard Hutton, to work by releasing a new statement on the “great injustice” that she should actually be punished (OH THE HORROR!!) for violating her probation.

“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.

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.”
