Proving the rich have different rules apply to them, Conrad Hilton, who was facing 20 years in jail for threatening the life of a flight attendant among many, many, many other things, was able to plea down to a misdemeanor and just probation.
The flight attendant’s sin was paying attention to a “peasant” before addressing Hilton.
