Saudi Princess Fined $1,000 for Pushing Maid Down Stairs
A Saudi princess accused of pushing her maid down a flight of stairs was fined $1,000 and put on probation in a no-contest plea accepted in court Tuesday. Princess Buniah al-Saud is in Saudi Arabia and didn't appear at the five-minute hearing in which her attorneys didn't contest a misdemeanor battery charge filed in Florida Circuit Court. The plea marked an about-face for the 41-year-old princess who in February had promised a judge she would come back to the United States for trial, if allowed to return to Saudi Arabia, because she wanted to clear her name. The princess is a niece of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.That certainly was a lesson to her. Bet she'll never do that again... Followup: Gary's written up this nice lady, too...
