Nicole Richie’s lawyers were successful in arguing for a postponement of her DUI trial until August 16th, so that an expert witness can testify for the defense. The hearing was held at the Glendale Superior Court and the 25-year-old reality television star is looking at having to serve anywhere from four days to a year in jail, if she is convicted. She was not present during court proceedings, which came as a result of her arrest that took place after she was found by police driving the wrong way on the freeway.

I have to admit, every time I write about Nicole’s current legal troubles, I still get a kick of getting to remind people that she was driving on the wrong way of the freeway because it’s just so damn ridiculous.
