yeah, I mean wtf? Serve the 45 days and shut the hell up. It's 45 days. It's not like she's going to lose her job for not being there, or lose her children. It's not like she has a life threatening illness. And, she's in the special needs unit, away from the general population. Hey, maybe she could learn to read while in jail. Could we send her Hooked on Phonics or something?

Oh, and I read that her problem was not a rash, but that she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown from having to go to jail. Well, then don't break the law, bitch.

Done.

When I got in trouble (Law-wise) during Jan.-March 1988, my Mom gave me these infinite words of wisdom:

"Don't you bitch
Don't you whine
You did the crime
Now do your time"

Man, my streak of good things happening continues!!!

Still pisses me off a little that this is major national headline news, btw.
EXACTLY - she's acting like she's being sent to the gas chamber. SPOILED ASS CRYBABY!!!

I find the attitude here laughable. If anyone here thinks they would not use any legal means available to keep themselves or their kids out of jail - they are delusional. Moreover, if the Sherriff told you to go home, you'd stay? I don't think so. Finally, who here would show to jail with a smile on their face? So, let's not be hypocrites

As for Paris - I could care a less for her, but the judge treated her far worse than any other person in the same situation. If you think otherwise, let's see the other 45 day sentences.

But, people hate her and want the law applied differently to her based on that. To me, that is pathetic.

Exactly. I love the pic btw.
She should just shut her mouth and deal with it.
45 days is nothing compared to what some people get.
plus she probably has extra security or something. so why should she be freaking out??

On another note - the stupidity of press agents and publicists never ceases to amaze me. If La Hilton had just showed up to jail, been a model inmate when she did and served the 23 days - she'd walk on water when released. yet, they do this BS.

Come on - all of the press is reporting the 45 days is ridiculous and no ones gets that If you know differently, I am all ears.

And - of course she cannot be in the main tank - the county would be exposed to way too much liability - right or wrong - such is life.

Seriously, I could care a less if I ever hear about La Hilton again, but - the fact is her sentence was ridiculous. I hate when the law is used to make a point - Justice should be blind no matter how vile or nice the defendant is.

As for the sherriiff - who knows why he did what he did. Word on the street is he is a maverick with an over crowded jail (19,000 beds when 30,000 are needed) - under a Federal Court order to free up beds - and he outsed her.

Personally, I think the wiser and likely legally corect thing would have been to send her to the psych ward.

She should have just taken the reduced 23 days and STFU - now she is back to the 45 day sentence. Moral to this story - Take what you are offered and STFU!!!

Hell, I was in state's custody from Jan.15,1988 til March 24,1988 (Before I pleaded guilty to 2 felony charges - received a deferred sentence and 5 years probation, after successfully serving the 5 years of probation my record would be expunged - so currently I have NO criminal record.) and I took it like a man (Though I was still only 17 years old) so I have zero sympathy for lil' Miss 'Rich Yeast Infection'

Poor Paris..."Boo frikkedy hoo"

I am no expert on how the American legal system works...at all, so if you say she received a harsher punishment than 'normal', I believe you, but I will say this: which sheriff's department would send a prisoner HOME because he or she was suffering from a rash? And which imbecile would think that would have no consequences?

Strand - Of course "common" people would try to get out of it too. The point is (in my experience with friends & fam who have gotten DWI's) it doesn't work. And, did I hear that she could have gotten up to a year or 2 in prison? Sounds like they didn't give her the worst possible sentence just because she's famous.

BTW - where can I find the specific laws/sentencing for my county? Are they posted somewhere online?


Oh, and thank you. *takes a bow*

This sheriff is in the middle of a pissing war with the state courts and the Federal Court. The Federal Court (which trumps the state court) has mandated the sheriff make the jail less crowded and/or build a new one, which cannot happen now. So, the state court knows this and then sentences this idiot to 45 days. The sheriff gets pissed and sends her home to house arrest. This is the same sheriff who released any inmate under a bond less than $10,000, then the courts raised the bonds and so did the sheriff. So, this is not really about Paris Hilton, loathesome though she may be.
