Picture of Paris Hilton
Property law is ubiquitous. A few years ago, Paris Hilton was busted for possession of cocaine, after the magic powder fell out of a purse she was carrying in the presence of a police officer. According to the Lincoln paper, Paris claims that the purse she was carrying was not hers and that she had no idea it contained cocaine.
"She told me the purse was not hers, that she had borrowed it from a friend," Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn wrote in his report of Hilton's arrest shortly before midnight. The friend was not identified.
Assuming Hilton was telling the truth about the purse not being hers, what does the Eads case tell us about whether she was in "possession" of the cocaine?
By the way, according to the newspaper report mentioned above, Ms. Hilton does admit that the cash, credit cards, and asthma prescription medicine also found in the purse do belong to her.
Hmmm. Anyone want to take the case as her defense counsel in this little dust up with the law?
