Nicole Richie; Unborn Child Get 4 Days in Jail

nicole richie jailIt looks as though the gossip gods were smiling down on this week because as we start the weekend there was one last dramatic event taking place over in Hollywood.

Nicole Richie, accompanied by her boyfriend and baby daddy Joel Madden, pled guilty to her DUI charge she picked up from the December 2006 DUI incident that involved prescription pills, marijuana, and alcohol.

Today, she was finally sentenced by a California judge.

The judge seemed rather leinient on Richie, who not only let her off with just 4 days to serve, but knocked off a day because he counted the 6 hours Richie served when the arrest occured. Not only that, but Richie has a choice of county or city jail. Now, serving time is a depressing prospect anyway and I don’t really know what jail is better in this situation, but damn. Couldn’t he have like, yelled at her a little or something?

In a nutshell, Nicole can’t drive a car with any measurable substances in her bloodstream. She can’t drive a car without a liscense. She has to pay a measley fee of $2,000 and enroll in a drug and alcohol program which she must finish…by February 2008.

Oh, and go to jail.

And give birth to Joel Madden’s baby. Poor girl.

Tell us what you're thinking...
