OK I have been very critical of Hilton on the other threads and believe she should go to jail, but lets take a step back.
If the sheriff let her out it is on him not her.
She should do her 23 days as was scheduled. Yes I know her original sentence was for 45 days but it was reduced to 23 for various reasons.
Why is she being punished for the actions of the sheriff?
it was not reduced, if she did good behavior that is what 45 days equals.
ALL prisoners (unless a day for day mandatory sentence) have a good behavior provision for an earlier release.
Paris is not innocent, she is being punished by this situation because she attempted to manipulate the system. After seeing all the trouble that has ensued from attempting to bring Paris to justice, no wonder why the rich get special treatment, whoever takes them on is putting their careers on the line because the rich and famous have the resources to keep on fighting even when they should give up. No wonder everyone lets people like Paris get away with so much.
OK. She was sentenced to 45 days. The assumption was that the sentence would be reduce to 23 days for good behavior (as it would be for anyone). She is to go back to the *same* situation she was in yesterday.
45 days, reduced to 23 for good behavior if she doesn't start a riot or shank anyone.
She is not.
She is being punished for her own actions: driving under the influence, and then (twice) driving on a suspended license.
That's not to say that Baca shouldn't be punished for his actions, too...
> Why is she being punished for the actions of the sheriff?
Maybe because if she had quietly done her time rather than having her hissy-fit tantrum the Sheriff wouldn’t have gotten into this mess in the first place?
I don’t blame the Sheriff for too much more than stupidity: thinking that the Judge didn’t really mean it.
A sustained, sobbing, temper-tantrum throwing spoiled brat can wear down even the most stoic of Sheriffs after three days... (unless he’s raised kids before).
