Last month Nicole Richie went to trial to determine her sentence for her DUI bust in December (which was her second DUI, FYI). She was sentenced to 4 days with a 1 day credit for court. Nicole went to Century Regional Detention Facility yesterday afternoon and checked in at 3:15 pm. She was released at 4:37 pm and apparently only spent 35 minutes in an actual jail cell. Splendid! I’m sure Paris Hilton is fuming right now. It’s obvious the world likes Nicole Richie better! The court issued this statement,

On August 23 2007, at 3:15 PM Miss Nicole Camille Richie reported to CRDF and surrendered herself following a July 27 arrest, she was sentenced to serve 96 hours in County Jail. Miss Richie was accompanied by her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley and her boyfriend Joel Madden. Miss Richie was booked and processed into the jail system. Miss Richie was cooperative during the process. Based on her sentence and federal court guidelines, Miss Richie was released at 4:37 PM today.

Based on her paying them off, they mean. How come they didn’t include that in their little statement? Ehh, I don’t really care that shes already out. You had to figure she’d get special treatment to the extreme, too. I’m glad, though, that she got in-and-out without having to spend as much time as Paris Hilton. It’s a burn on Paris and it makes my day!
