Paris Hilton prosecutor under LA ethics probe
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles prosecutor who accused Paris Hilton of enjoying celebrity favoritism was under investigation on Friday for his own conduct in a scandal over driving violations and personal use of city resources.

The Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified city sources, said the Los Angeles Ethics Commission and the California State Bar are both investigating City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo.

Delgadillo, the city's top law enforcement official, has admitted driving without insurance, allowing his wife to drive his city-owned car without a license and having staff babysit his children and run other errands.

Neither the ethics commission nor the state bar, which regulates and disciplines California lawyers, would confirm the confidential probes. Delgadillo's office said he "is fully prepared to cooperate with any investigation."

3. more celebrity favoritism??
One of the most well-publicized prosecutions by Delgadillo's office was that of entertainer Paul Reubens, more commonly known as Pee Wee Herman, for possession of child pornography. Delgadillo's office arranged a plea bargain requiring Reubens to pay a $100 fine and serve three years of probation.

2. Its so ironic....
...he showed so much outrage and indignation when the Sheriff released Hilton to home detention. And I'm sure that he wanted to make a name for himself too, as a tough, no nonsense, law & order prosecutor with this Hilton case. Why, he'd be set for life. Funny how these things rarely ever turn out like you expect them to.

My grandfather used to tell me that when you point your finger at someone, you've got three pointing back at yourself....
