LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- "E! News" has the latest on
party girl Paris Hilton, who may take on the unexpected role of witness in the
criminal investigation of Darnell Riley, the man who allegedly burglarized the
home of "Girls Gone Wild" guru Joe Francis. Police issued Ms. Hilton a
subpoena on Thursday, November 3, and now "E! News" is uncovering new details
on the case and has an exclusive interview with Mr. Riley's lawyer, Ronald
Richards. The exclusive interview airs on tonight's (Monday, November 7)
edition of "E! News" at 7:00 PM ET/PT.
"A year after Joe was abducted in his house and had duct tape tied around
him, he then fingered Darnell Riley or accused him as the person that was
involved in this," said Riley's attorney, Ronald Richards, in an exclusive
interview with E! News. "Paris allegedly told Joe Francis that an associate
of Darnell Riley's admitted at a party that Darnell Riley was involved in the
burglary (at Joe's home). Joe Francis then called LAPD and said 'Paris Hilton
told me this is who it is'."
Darnell is currently being held at the LA County Jail, charged with
extortion, kidnapping and robbery.
Said Richards of Paris Hilton's subpoena, "We have a preliminary hearing
set for November 21st. Paris Hilton has not agreed to any interviews with the
prosecution or the defense ... So I'd be interested to see if she even had a
conversation about Joe Francis."
And back to reality television, "E! News" exclusively learned from Lionel
Richie last night (Sunday, November 6) that the "The Simple Life" is set to
begin taping with daughter Nicole and Paris. According to Richie, "I have no
idea what the plot is but they start filming in a week or so. Don't ask me
how it will work, but it will work. They'll be together."
