An emotional Lizzie Grubman apologized Thursday for any pain and suffering she caused 16 people she struck when she backed into them with her father's Mercedes SUV outside a Hamptons Nightclub last July.
"I want to say something. I just want to say how absolutely sorry I am that innocent people got hurt that night," Grubman, the 31-year-old celebrity publicist and daughter of entertainment lawyer Allen Grubman, said through her tears. "Please tell them and please tell their families how terrible I feel. I felt this way since this happened. I'm so sorry."
Grubman, whose client list has included Britney Spears and rapper Jay-Z, made the unexpected statement as she emerged from the Suffolk County, N.Y., courtroom Thursday morning to find a crowd of reporters and television cameras.
Suffolk County Court Judge John Mullin had just informed Grubman that he will let her know on Aug. 16 when she will stand trial for a 26-count indictment that includes charges of assault, vehicular assault and driving while intoxicated.
After she spoke, Grubman, wearing a powder blue pantsuit, continued sobbing and rested her head on the shoulder of her lawyer, Stephen Scaring, as she walked with him from the courthouse to a black Chevrolet Suburban waiting for her in the parking lot.
On the night of the incident, July 7, 2001, Grubman was driving a black $70,000 Mercedes SUV that belonged to her father. Witnesses told police that Grubman became upset at the Conscience Point Inn, a popular night spot in Southampton, when the club bouncer asked her to move her vehicle from a fire lane.
Grubman allegedly shouted "white trash" before putting the car in gear and hitting the accelerator. The SUV lurched backward and struck a crowd of people waiting to get inside the nightclub.
According to the indictment and numerous lawsuits filed after the crash, 16 people were treated for injuries, which included broken bones and scrapes.
Scaring told Courttv.com that he believes the case will go to trial and that his strategy will be to attack the driving while intoxicated charge, which he says is the key to whether Grubman was criminally reckless. Grubman and her lawyers maintain that the incident was an accident and that she inadvertently put the vehicle in reverse.
When Grubman entered the courthouse at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday, she was composed and wasn't talking. She replied "no comment" when someone in the crowd asked whether she was prepared to go to prison.
After her lawyer and the prosecutor finished a 15-minute conference in the judge's chambers, Grubman looked sullen and briefly addressed reporters. She said that she has always felt sorry for what happened and asked that her feelings be conveyed to the victims.
If convicted of the most serious felonies, prosecutors say Grubman could face more than eight years in a state prison.
BTW, I also heard somewhere that Grubman is a big Hillary supporter. Any way to find out if her or her father contributed to the Hillary campaign?
I hope the judge throws the book at this wretch.
Oh? She's rich? Hmmmm, the embarassment of this whole unfortunate episode has been punishment enough.

I don't see anything for a Lizzie or Elizabeth Grubman, but I only searched New York State.
Daddy gave $4000 to Hillary from 1999 to 2000.
Go here type in Grubman - NY - Clinton
Also gave 25K in soft money to DNC, more to Gore, Bradley, and McCain. Imagine that.
That and sixteen witnesses should seal the jury's verdict.

Lizzie Grubman took her axle
And gave the crowd a hefty whacksle
And when she saw what she had done
She bravely took off on the run.
Leni
p.s. Notice how she was SURE to say that "I felt this way since it happened."
I remeber thinking when this happened, how arrogant "the law doesn't apply to me" this "witch-*itch-Hildebeast-spawn" acted. No remorse whatsoever, until recently when she's learning she'll have to face the music. What a load of crap. I hope they throw away the key.
