I have not seen one person who knows so far either here or on TV talk claim that someone driving on a suspended license in Kali ever gets the time she got. It was wrong for them to come get her and put her back in....in my view. Very wrong.
Let's see how many other times Sauer has done that when Baca lets them out early or often doesn't even process them before sending them home. The glee some here (not you necessarily) take from her misfortune and stupidity is telling. It's nothing more than good old human resentment. This girl is a fool's fool but hardly merits a month and a half in a stoney county lock up where she is definitely a target over this crap.
She should have been sentenced like evryone else from the getgo but Sauer knew the world was watching.
It's called REPEAT offender. You can't flout authority. She did.

I read somewhere today that the judge has to sign off on it. He didn't.

From Fox: 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.

She was. She violated probation twice. How many times should she get a "pass"?
Also, it was claimed she was released for medical reasons. Then why couldn't they tell the judge what those reasons were?
Has Paris Killed The Women's Movement?
What’s up with the mystery illness that was so private that Paris’ lawyers didn’t bring documents to Judge Sauer and prove she needed to stay home?
Maybe I can help you here. One of my kids was picked up for driving on a suspended. Spent the night in jail. Suspended for not paying tickets. Paid the tickets and was cleared. Got picked up for driving while ability impaired. A lesser charge than DUI. His life changed and he and his wife stayed with us for awhile. I drove him to work. My car insurance found he was living here. Insurance went up to $8000 a year because of the DOSL and NOT the DWAI. The DOSL was considered more serious.
I don’t think the issue is that she was simply driving with a suspended license, but that she wasn’t supposed to drive without a valid license as a condition of her probation (stemming from the original DUI, in which she plead guilty to reckless driving.)
I believe she violated the terms of probation more than once. After multiple probation violations, I don’t think it’s unusual for a judge to issue a 30-day sentence. So her 45-day sentence, reduced to 23 if everything went well, doens’t seem excessive to me.
Of course this wasn’t the crime of the century. But how many chances should a judge give a defendant who ignores the judge’s probation orders?
I wonder if we could find stats from the L.A. courts, and see what the average sentence has been lately for violation of probation. A probation violation for a traffic offense would probably have a shorter average sentence than something like a domestic violence violation. But it would be interesting to see if Paris’ sentence was typical.
Exactly another Judge Tito or whatever the hell OJs judge's name syndrome. Its a nonviolent probation violation, no one gets 45 days for that.
The judge has a certain parameter in which to work for sentencing offenders. He can use his discretion while still following the law. Ever hear of tough love? Perhaps the judge felt that in Paris’ case, it was going to take more than the usual slap on the wrist to make an impression on her. She’s headed down the same path as Anna Nicole Smith.
As a mother of daughters myself I see alot of bad times ahead for this girl if there isn’t a major catalyst in her life that changes it’s direction. This constant pandering to her and the “poor pitiful Paris” attitude is only hastening her to an early grave.
If I had been the judge I would have done the same thing. This girl needs more than just the usual Hollywood style re-hab to change her life and get her on the straight and narrow. Yes, in this case I believe that the judge would be right to give her more penalty than someone else may have gotten while still staying within his legal parameters.
Yes, he may have been harsher because of her celebrity status. But unlike others, I do not think that is a bad thing. I think the judge realizes that it was going to take a harsh dose of reality and not the typical Hollywood Justice Lite to get through to this girl and cut through all of the celebrity, wealth & power. No one is above the law. The sooner Paris realizes this and takes responsibility for her actions the sooner her life will start to get better.
