A reality star and aspiring model allegedly burglarized those whom she sought to hobnob with, and has been charged with the crime, along with six others. Alexis Neiers, who at age 18 is an adult, pleaded 'no contest' and received six months in jail and three years probation. If she violates probation, she can get as much as two years in state prison. The plea of 'no contest' here was her best option to serve the least amount of jail time. She could have been sentenced to six years in prison if she risked mounting a defending at trial and getting convicted. The defendant here was part of group that was also targeting other celebrities. As such, the burglary of Mr. Bloom's house was not isolated but part of a larger criminal enterprise. Other celebrity targets allegedly include Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Rachel Bilson. She could face charges for conspiracy on the other houses. She has until the end of June to enjoy her freedom, before heading to jail, for which it is reported that she will testify against the other individuals charged. They are scheduled for a Court appearance at the end of the month. This is an example of the benefits a defendant can avail him or herself of when hiring a skilled defense attorney at the first possible opportunity following an arrest.
