She couldn’t handle it. I feel sorry for her. Just put her under house arrest.
Make her share a cell with some buff butch.
Now, really... Would they do that to the average Jane in these circumstances?
Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was calm but apparently irked by the morning's developments. He said he had left the courthouse Thursday night having signed an order for Hilton to appear for the hearing.
When he got in his car early Friday, he said, he heard a radio report that he had approved Hilton's participation in the hearing by telephone, but he had not.
"I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions," he said of the decision to release Hilton from jail after three days.
"At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road," Sauer said.
To me, it seems like the judge is just a little obsessed with this case. Does he always take such an interest in parole violators? Does he always make decisions based on what he hears on the radio? Does he always issue sua sponte orders for released prisoners to appear before him?
Many, MANY people have a tough time dealing with jail. Yet we don't let them off. Society has laws. EVERYONE in society is subject to these laws.
Even if they cry.
You'll get seriously flamed for that comment on here, but I agree. I can think of no other person that has been let out of jail and then returned FOR ANY REASON. I have daughters though, so....
Lots of people in jail “couldn’t handle it”. I know. I sent a bunch of ‘em there when I was an ADA. They didn’t get house arrest. Why should Hilton?
I am going to be blasted to hell for this but I just don’t think this is right. Why does the judge get to dictate what happens to her when the police already said that she was able to go home. If anything happens to her this would be a prime example of the family getting to sue. This whole situation is just crazy and insane.
