Paris Hilton is famous for what exactly?? Oh, she was born rich, was spoiled, and had a sex film on the internet. Woopy due!!

No sympathy here.

It will be a net gain for taxpayers instead of the net loss they are getting stuck with now to keep her in jail. And if she breaks home detention again, she gets another fine and a longer home detention sentence.

From post #270

Community Service:
In some courts, you may work off some of your fees/costs by doing community service.

She might have been offered the above and may have said NO. This might be why the judge stated that she was not to be elligible for work release or home arrest.

I'm not sure about California but some states have it where if you are able you repay the costs.

Thanks for offering to join me in prayer. She has a chance to look at her life right now. She is finally in contact with people other than her entourage that has enablered her all her life. Now is the time for a change.

Sounds like a good idea. The people benefit, and less pressure on the jails.

I was wondering about the jail’s policy on reading/writing materials. I could do her time with paper, pen, and books. Heck, if they let me, I’d sit and crochet.

There's a lot of debate about "lynch mob" mentality and rejoicing over the suffering of a "rich bitch".

I think there's really two issues, here and they're being confused to some degree.

Issue #1 is the length of the original sentence.

Issue #2 is her premature release courtesy of "da Sheriff."

As far as # 1 is concerned, she may well have received a stiffer sentence than your average shmuck, although I'm not sure. If she'd been given X hours community service and 7 days in the pokey that would have been fine with me. I'm not a member of the "let's teach her a lesson" club.

However, it's issue #2 which really has everyone up in arms including me. When you monkey with a sentence after it's been handed down, that's when the trouble arises and cries of "favoritism" start to be heard. Irrespective of whether she was stiffed by the original sentence, she needs to serve her time. To do otherwise, really brings the justice system into disrepute. It's not a matter of rejoicing over a rich, privileged woman being brought down a peg or two. It's about equal treatment for all.

The psychiatric hospital probaly didn't want any part of the game.

My qiestion is, if she has mental problems why didn't her attorney bring this up BEFORE sentencing and during the rial. Isn't that when this stuff is supposed to be introduced????

Shall we start a daily Pray For A Celebrity thread? Or is there an Internet forum dedicated to nothing but prayers for the known for being known? I bet Minnesota Jackass would know.

What is the point behind laws against drunk driving? Hmmm? Prevention? Because drunk driving is dangerous? She was given rules and did not comply.

She was given punishment. And complied with NONE of it. It then became apparent that she was not going to comply.

I smell BS. Paris doesn’t have a “panic button”.

I think they meant an EASY button in Paris' case.

To punish those who put others in danger?

Agreed. She should be punished. But the taxpayers should not. Put her on home detention and fine her.

Right, but it had already failed wiht her so, off to jail she went. Which is as it should be.

>><I’m not a fan of Paris Hilton, but Ann Coulter made a good point yesterday on Fox. This is a case of unequal justice against someone who is rich and famous. An ordinary person wouldn’t get this kind of sentence. Class warfare, or as Rush calls it, Get-Evenism.<<

Yep. 45 days in a jail for driving without a license when they are releasing more serious criminals and the judge taking such a public position - this is personal and class (or lack of class) based, not justice

I don’t understand those that defend her, do you? She is a whiny “no consequences” liberal. She has neither morals, ethics nor values. How can any conservative male find that alley cat defensible? I’m truly amazed. AND dismayed.

She might not get out in 23 days there! And don't they expect you to to ADMIT that you have a problem???

I’m curious about something. When did Paris Hilton start hitting the tabloids? Before or after age 18?

After age 18, family is essentially powerless to prevent public trainwrecks. Against the law, you know.

I have a lot of respect for Martha Stewart. I used to hate her, but grew to admire her. Not to mention that her voice calmed down my granddaughter during temper tantrums :)

Martha Stewart is a grown woman. Paris Hilton unfortunately will always be a child.

Punishment is supposed to be a deterrent. Partying at home is not a deterrent. Her statement to ET was :"Home is the place to be". Some deterrent. This woman needed a wakeup call and the judge gave her one.
