OK, let’s try and get some perspective here - Mrs. Winkler, who shot her Minister husband dead with a shotgun, will probably only end up serving about two months.

Reality check.

That has nothing to do with this. Fault the judge in that case but it shouldn’t get Hilton a pass. Hilton broke the law repeatedly.

Reality check --- the cases have nothing to do with each other and neither do the judges. Following your ridiculous logic, no one should ever serve more than 2 years for any crime short of manslaughter. The fact that our justice system is lax doesn't justify lowering the bar. On the contrary, we should be calling for harsher penalties for those who deserve it -- not point to one weak sentence as justification for another.

Mary Winkler is credited with time already served. She has 7 days left in jail and will most likely spend another two months in a mental facility. Then probation.

Paris was already given probation for her initial case, the speeding and driving without a license was while she was on probation. Paris may not like it, but she dissed the judge repeatedly. My guess is the judge has had it with the prima donna. He is insisting on jail, she will be doing the time.
