A "screaming" Paris Hilton has been dragged off to serve her full 45 days in jail. Reportedly screamed and called to her mother as she was taken away. More.
And what do you think your odds of getting released early to serve your sentence out as house arrest are? About 99 to 1. No, the judge is caving to public opinion, but they don't do that for gay, illegal, flag-burning protesters. Doesn't fit.
I've only been in county lockup, but the veterans of the system I was in there with told me that the hardest time you can ever do is county lockup.
Unlike a prison, there is NOTHING to do. You just sit. Time drags incredibly. Each day seems like a week.
I am a mother of two teenagers.
I have no sence of symapthy.
;-)
Well to be precise it was 3 probation violations.
Everyone keeps forgetting about the classes she was supposed to take but did not.
Evidently, someone very wealthy, cuz they stuck it on a pole on the moon!
No puns intended, I'm sure. /s
I am furious, they’re jerking this china doll around and someones going to drop her...hell , they did! Her damn agent told her it was ok to drive, she was dumb to listen to him, all right. Dumb to want to drive. MOST people get out of there within days due to overcrowding. Now they’ve let her out and gone back to collect her!? and act like she’s committed a second crime just for being released yesterday. What do we know of her psychological maturity, what do we know of all the money-makers behind all this. Someone wants a “money shot” of her in a cell. Here we have another “eat the rich” thread, F.R. as ugly as I’ve ever seen it. whooopeee! An heiress cries. To H*ck with these posters roooaaaaararrrrrrrrrr
Treu, but your speling is supurlative! ;^)
Ahh!
Thanks for the info.
LOL. Post of the day.
Probably the Darling Family (if I'm reading that right).
I don’t have any problem with her getting jail time. I suspect though that the judge is going out of his way to make sure that she gets what she’s got coming. And I have no problem with him doing that, either, but I suspect that it’s the first time in his career that he’s gone to such extremes. Too bad we can’t get judges to take such an interest in making sure that “justice is done” in cases involving murder, rape and child molestation.
He’s bending over backward to make sure he’s not accused of letting her off easy.
amazing, shoot a husband in the back and orphan three children and you only get sentenced to three years.
However different states.
Most states have made their drunk driving laws pretty uniform. She is not getting anything spectacular. However once IN custody, the sherriff’s office has to take appropriate measures to ensure she is not harmed from other prisoners.
However there is a issue here that we have not touched on. There is a class of defendant who is intelectually unreachable. These are the gangbanger types for whom the courts are just a part of career criminal life. Those people recieving the same 45 day sentence would have expressed far more contempt for the courts than any snobby paris hilton type.
You are a wise mama. (Must've raised daughters.)
My own daughter just had surgery earlier this week. The pain is bad. If I don't let her get worked up, she can stay on top of it. If I let her cry... we're to the point where only drugs work. She's spending all of her time either sleeping or focusing on staying above the pain.
(She's Reaper Freeper, BTW)
Did the judge originally rule that she couldn't get time off for good behaviour? If not, what exactly did she do wrong to lose that privilege?
The sheriff let her go. She didn't break out. I've got no particular sympathy for her, but fair's fair, and 23 days already seemed excessive. To me, anyway.
My dad was killed by a DUI. I agree with you completely.
