Hilton's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, entered the not guilty plea in a Los Angeles Superior Court, though the 25-year old heiress to Hilton Hotel empire did not attend the hearing. The Judge Michael Sauer has set a pre-trial date for January 23 adding that the case would go on trail by the end of February.
