The prosecutor in the case of Paris Hilton is now being called a hypocrite and a whole lot worse. The man that made Los Angeles safe by demanding no special treatment for Paris ignored his own wife's warrant for nine years it has been claimed. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo got Paris Hilton jailed for violating probation for driving with a suspended license then condemned her early release.

Michelle Delgadillo pleaded no contest in Los Angeles Superior Court to a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license in connection to a 1998 traffic citation. She was ordered to serve a year of probation and to pay roughly $500 in fines and penalties, said Santa Monica prosecutor Betty Haviland. Oh wait there's more. The other charges, which included driving without insurance and in an unregistered car, were dismissed, she said.

Rocky Delgadillo tried the Paris excuse and plead ignorance. He said he didn't know about it until this week and urged his wife to remedy the situation. "My wife is embarrassed about this, and I am embarrassed as well," he said. His office said she had to pay $431 in fines and penalties.

Oh and add that according to the Los Angeles Times, a warrant for his wife's arrest was issued by a judge in 1998 after she failed to appear in court on charges of driving without insurance on a suspended license in an unregistered car. Nine years of cruising around LA with a warrant.

Reuters reports that Delgadillo came under increasing fire on Tuesday when, after dodging media inquiries for days, he acknowledged that his wife had been driving his city-owned vehicle on a suspended license when it was damaged in a 2004 accident and later repaired at taxpayer expense.

He also conceded that he drove for more than a year without automobile insurance required of all California drivers and that his wife was uninsured when she left the scene of another 2004 accident involving the couple’s personal car.

LARRY KING: Why did you drive with a suspended license?

PARIS HILTON: I was told that I had my license. My lawyer told me the license is suspended for 30 days, no driving. Then 90 days then after that you could drive to and from work. So for 30 days, I never drove once. Then after that it was for work related purposes.

KING: Think you got a raw deal? Do you?

HILTON: Yes, I do.

KING: What's the terms of probation? What can you do and can't do?

HILTON: Now?

KING: Yes. You're on probation, right?

HILTON: I'm just going to follow all the laws.

KING: I mean, for how long? Do you have to report to a probation officer?

HILTON: No. It's not like that.

KING: Do you think the judge was unkind?

HILTON: You know, my lawyers even said that with this kind -- it wasn't for a DUI, it was for a suspended license -- that people only -- I was walking in there assuming I was just going to get community service. That's what my lawyer said at the time. So when he sentenced me to that much time in jail, it was shocking, because that doesn't happen, ever.

KING: Did you think, Paris, that you didn't deserve to be there?

HILTON: You know, I think the crime did not fit the, you know, fit the punishment. I did my time. And you know, it was really hard, but I don't feel like I deserved to go to jail for it.

KING: You never felt you were a criminal.

HILTON: No.

KING: Not now, not then?

HILTON: No.

KING: On January 15, you were pulled over by the California Highway Patrol and told your license had been suspended, and you said you thought it was OK.

HILTON: I told the officer because I called my lawyer at that point and they said you're allowed to drive for work related purposes and I was at a business meeting before that.

KING: So misconception.

HILTON: Yeah.

KING: And January 22 you plead "no contest" to a reduced charge of alcohol-related reckless driving, you were ordered to take alcohol education. Did you?

HILTON: Yes, I did. And actually when we went into court, they said that I hadn't but the lady was sitting right in the courtroom and she said, "I will testify and say that Paris finished the course" and they wouldn't let her do it.

KING: And the driving with a suspended license. That you thought it was not suspended, right?

HILTON: I never would have driven on a suspended license. I get followed by paparazzi all day. Why would I have the audacity to do that?

KING: What kind of license do you have now?

HILTON: Fully reinstated license. Even before I went in jail my license was fully reinstated with no restrictions whatsoever.

KING: Go back full time with your career?

HILTON: Yeah. Everything is back to business.

KING: Television show, too?

HILTON: Yeah. We've just finished the fifth season and I'm doing another season in the next couple months. I'm doing a couple movies this summer.

KING: Movies, too.

HILTON: Mm-hmm.

KING: Signed and sealed.

KING: Which leads to the e-mail question from Celia in Miramar (ph), Florida: "What's the biggest misconception about you?"

HILTON: Well, a misconception that I always hear is Paris doesn't work for a living. She just, you know, gets money from her family. And I completely disagree with that. I've been earning (ph) on my own, by myself. I've not taken any money from my family. I work very hard. I run a business. I had a book on the "New York Times" best seller list. I'm on my -- TV show. Did an album. Do movies.

KING: Is it all their fault? Or how did you let that happen?

HILTON: I think it's people just focused on the party part. And my business and what I do is at my office, and in my meetings. And that's not really made public, because then, you know, I'm in a board room talking with everyone who works with me. So people just don't know about it.

KING: I've been to prisons. I've interviewed people in prison. Were you -- oh, we have your mug shot. Want to find out what you were thinking, what it was like to go through this. We will show that. I've seen worse.

HILTON: Thank you.
