I'd like to repost this, but I don't want to use your photobucket link, is that okay?

[giza.livejournal.com]

Quoting a favorite blogger of mine:

Enjoying this (http://tbogg.blogspot.com/2007/06/im-party-star-im-popular-ive-got-my-own.html) probably makes me a bad person. I don't care.

Oh no, having to serve time for a crime committed! When has this country become so law abiding??? Heh. Any ordinary person wouldn't have been released after three days, so I don't have any sympathy. It's already bad enough that celebrities get to go to rehab for things that normal people would do jail time for. =p

And it's only 45 friggin' days! I go that long between doing laundry!

...what?

...I, uh... have a lot of clothes. So, y'know... I can go that long. Yeah...

[silver-huskey.livejournal.com]

Considering the amount of clothes that my mom has, I believe you. *Nod.* Though, that must be one hell of a laundry day. ;)

Do some research and see what the usual sentence is for driving on a suspended license. It's nowhere near 45 days. Most of the time it's probation and a longer suspension or something.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for brats like Paris, but in this case we have a judge making an example out of her simply because she is a celebrity. Spoiled brats don't deserve unusually long sentences simply because they are annoying. So, she's in an already overcrowded jail for a VERY minor offense, and she has her own cell, wasting space and taxpayer dollars. Plus, she's refusing to take medication and having mental issues s a result, which means she needs treatment, which is also on the tax dime. The sheriff see this disastr and moves her to house arrest, so the judge puts her back in jail without an explanation. The judge then tries to hold the sheriff in contempt, and interrupts subsequent hearings EVERY FEW MINUTES to bitch about the time. Meanwhile, Hilton is freaking out because she STILL hasn't gotten th medical treatment she needs.

This is a mockery of justice. That judge is throwing an even bigger tantrum than Paris because the sheriff called him on his unreasonable sentence.

The absolute best way to handle immature celebrities is to treat them exactly like normal people. No going easy on them, but no burning them at the stake either.

Might I also add, that if the judge was seeking to tke her out of the spotlight by throwing her in jail, he's failed miserably. This has become a total feeding frenzy for the paparazzi.

Maybe the judge was feeling left out: He wanted a chance to screw Paris too.

On Jan 15th she was pulled over by the CHP for driving with a suspended license, and signed a document stating that she acknowledges she is not to drive. Pulled over again in February for driving with a suspended license, speeding (70MPH in a 35 zone). In addition it was after dark and she was also driving without her headlights on. She also failed to enroll in a court ordered alcohol education program which violates her previous probation issued after her DUI in September of last year.

I would hope that any one else that violates their probation in the same way as Hilton gets the same treatment. (Also, if it matters at all, she's actually in the medical wing of the LA jail for her current psychological problems.)

Sorry, but the nature of them being celebrities automatically means that they'll never be treated like normal people. If any normal person had pulled that stunt, they would have been in jail much sooner. How many months have we been hearing about her having to go to jail? About how she said couldn't go because she provides a public service? And the list goes on. A DUI is a serious matter and most people don't get that many chances before having to serve some jail time. Though at the other end, most violators aren't constantly dogged by the media so they probably get away with a lot. Being famous is a double edged sword for sure.

I do agree that all of this is a mockery of justice, but perhaps for different reasons.

While the discussion about the underlying issues are always interesting, I'm sick of hearing about Paris Hilton in general. America's fascination with celebrity figures is a little disturbing at times. And yet the fascination remains, well, fascinating!

Maaaybe not. My understanding of how such things work is that these things are usually up to the judge. The defendant can ask for their sentence to be deferred while they wrap up their affairs or whatever. (Remeber the one guy from Enron who was sentenced to alternating jail terms with his wife? They asked for it so one of them could take care of the kids, and the judge agreed.) Unless the defendant is a flight risk or committed some awful crime (murder, rape, letting a cheetah be on top, etc.), I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of requests weren't granted.

Also, AFAIK, the crimes that Paris committed were victimless in nature, which could explain why she wasn't jailed immediately.

She did the crime, she does the time. Justice was served. :-)

...she needs to do more time for that horrible Simple Life show...
