Paris Hilton says jail term cruel, fires publicist
Reuters ^ | 05/06/2007

Posted on 05/06/2007 6:33:22 PM PDT by JohnSheppard

In her first public comments since a prison sentence, celebrity heiress and reality TV star Paris Hilton has described her 45-day jail term for a driving related offense as cruel and unwarranted.

Visibly shocked and tearful, Hilton was sentenced on Friday to 45 days in jail after a judge ruled she knowingly violated her probation on a previous traffic offense by driving without a valid license.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer rejected the 26-year-old socialite's defense that she didn't realize her license was suspended and ordered her to report to a county detention facility on June 5.

"I told the truth," Hilton told photographers waiting outside her Los Angeles home on Saturday night.

"I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted. I don't deserve this."

Her lawyer, Howard Weitzman, has said he will appeal "to modify the sentence."

Hilton's mother Kathy voiced her anger at the ruling over the weekend. "This is pathetic and disgusting, a waste of taxpayers' money with this nonsense. It is a joke," she told Hollywood.com.

Sounds like she understood her lawyer's comments clearly and distinctly. How did she misunderstand the court's original orders? Ah well, 45 days with the great unwashed. I wonder how many cigarettes she'll sell for?

I don’t know about anybody else, but I couldn’t give a rip less to what this over-indulged, spoiled little trollep has to say.

Her Mommy should git a swift kick in the arse for even delivering this little gutter-slut to our world.

Don’t even git me going on what should happen to the douche-bag that planted this “seed”......

Here comes the WWWAAAAAAAAA-MBULANCE!

Poor Paris had a consequence for her behavior. She not like. And neither did her mom, who in court and afterward showed that she is just arrogant, white tra—, nothing more.

Reminds me of an old Lucile Ball movie, “The Affairs of Annabel”, in which her agent gets her into jail for a publicity stunt. You can bet the networks are trying to get cameras into to jail with her.

Of course jail is only for regular people Not “The Hiltons”. I hope the judge makes sure she serves her time just like anybody else would. lmao

She just can’t see her own personal responsibility for what is happening to her, I doubt that 45 days is going to be enough.

Anyone else feel this is just the beginning of a continuous rap sheet that will end with her OD in 15 - 20 years?
