Hilton was housed in the "special needs" unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates. She didn't have a cellmate.
1. Her lawyer and shrink were smart enough to game the system, and convince the LA sheriff to let her out.
2.What they should have done was taken her immediately to an exclusive private mental hospital...like a spa..that wouldm. IMHO, have made her bullet proof. I suspect that they strongly suggested it, but she didn't wanrt to go. Inmstead, she was planning a party for tonight.
2. The sheriff was obviously thrilled to get her out of the jail..she was a huge nuisance, but it's hard to believe that as an elected official, he had no idea that this was goign to blow up in his face. He had to know it was gonna cause him a BIG problem....so why did he go along?
Is thejudge a Republican? Can we please run him against Feinstein in 2008?
LOL!
That makes all the sob-sisters who indignantly claimed that "overcrowding" perfectly justifies early release at the sherrif's discretion sound really really stupid.
What happened? They had a sudden rush of politicians, law enforcement officials and celebrities flouting the law?
I seem to have missed that part of recent news...
Just saying.
