Violent Crime Attempt at the Van Nuys Courthouse Involving Paris Hilton

Posted on: April 28, 2011 at 2:07 a.m.

The paparazzi have had a field day with a recent crime that was extremely dangerous, and Van Nuys Criminal Defense Attorneys are watching how a violent crime unfolds in the news and in court. Paris Hilton and her boyfriend were attacked by a man on the steps of the Van Nuys Courthouse. The man lunged at the couple and grabbed Waits by the neck before Hilton's bodyguards subdued the man who was turned over to police. The man is reportedly James Rainford who was arrested for allegedly scuffling with Hilton's bodyguards then banging on the door of her home. Hilton and her boyfriend Waits were headed into the courthouse to testify in the trial of a man from Redlands who was arrested in August after Hilton called the police to report that someone was outside her home. He was allegedly trying to break in. The man is charged with a felony count of attempted residential burlgary.

As you can see, the world of criminal defense is complicated, and without a Van Nuys Criminal Defense Attorney who knows what they're doing on your side, it can be very dangerous. There is no back story provided on the man who allegedly attacked Waits, he may have had history with the couple. Most media reports paint the man to be crazy, but the truth could be far more complex. In the end, the only an experienced Van Nuys Criminal Defense Attorney can help provide the kind of clarity necessary to get as far away from prison as possible.

In cases involving celebrities, the media attention is very high, and anyone charged with attacking a celebrity could be facing serious jail time. A qualified lawyer is need to help protect against any jury or judge who could be taking the celebrity's side. It's not that judges or attorneys or juries take the side of celebs on purpose, it's that sometimes we think we know an actor, but all we really know is the part they play on a movie or a television show.
