- Paris is probably going through a serious de-tox right now.
- Paris has probably heard "no" twice in her life and the judge's "no" is one of them.
- Paris is not being treated like everyone else. (Update: I retract this comment. MaxedOutMama has convinced me that the book, and a big heavy one at that, needed to be sent Ms. Hilton's way. She deserves it!)
Come on now. She is a danger to herself and others. The plea arrangement was a 3 year probation; that plea was to keep her out of jail. People would be excoriating this judge if she were not held in some way to that plea bargain and she or someone else were later killed or injured.
But inmates are near riot because they feel she's "getting away with murder" by pretending to be sick. According to The Sun, “Many of the girls have been locked down in their cells all day because they are so furious. The jail is full of screams about Paris."
This is not to say I have any warm fuzzies for Paris. I just think that justice should be status blind. The forty-five days seems excessive. And, she seems to be paying for her inability to even pretend at humility. Humilitation, though, seems to be in her repetoire and to day was about humiliation.
Update: Ace has decided to unsuppress his glee.
I'm not so sure....
ReplyDeleteI gather that there was one conviction for drunk driving, followed by suspension of her license, then a stop for driving illegally, at which stop she signed a form acknowledging she could not drive legally, then another speeding arrest, still without a license. In court she claimed that she had been told she could drive for work-related purposes, which was an obvious lie due to the second stop and the signed form. So she has been given a few chances here, and I bet what did it was lying to the judge in court.
I think she is being treated as a scofflaw, and scofflaws are often treated in this way because the longer they get away with it, the worse they behave. I'm sorry, but in GA she would have been tossed in jail after the second stop!!!
Hopefully, the end result will be that she is stopped from driving drunk and injuring or killing someone else or herself. Whatever is happening to her now, it is a better fate than that.
Anyway, her total time is going to be about 23 days, not 45.
This ABC news story details the events. The third stop was for driving at night 70 mph in a 35 mph zone with no lights.

ReplyDeleteBy "de-tox", do you mean the DTs?
(If so, South Park's gift of prophecy strikes again. Their version of Paris Hilton started screaming when she hadn't had a drink for a whole five minutes...)
Latest train-wreck update from morning drive-time radio:
ReplyDeleteApparently all the jailhouse lawyers in the LA County Jail system -- 20,000 was the figure quoted -- are demanding "Equal Treatment to Paris Hilton", including immediate early release "for medical reasons". And Al Sharpton has thrown in.
