World holds it's collective breath as Paris heads back to court.
Permalink  

So I get back in from running my morning errands, and follow my standard procedure.

Turn on the 24 hour news channel, start making some breakfast, etc.

Over an hour now, and apparantly the ONLY story is Paris Hilton going back to court.  For a solid hour they've had a helicopter shot of her home while deputies come and go, preparing her to drive back to court.

News media everywhere.  A plane flying overhead towing a banner that says "We Love You Paris."

I swear to God, it all has that OJ feeling with the lemonheads and their signs on the freeway overpasses that said "The Juice Is Loose" and "Go O.J."

Sometimes you just feel like you're trapped in a bad movie no.gif

Can you imagine being a soldier in Iraq, risking your life every day, and you find out that the biggest news story for the last few days back home is Paris Hilton's DUI jail time?

no.gif

i guess they really don't want her at the jail because she is a distraction. But my husband made a good point. Do you want your kids to see how Paris acts and be able to show them that she gets away with it? The jail just needs to suck it up because a point needs to be made. I'm sorry celebs get way too much slack.

They're claiming she was let out because her doctor convinced the sherrif she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

How many inmates do you think could argue that?

Apparantly she was pressing some emergency button every five minutes and driving the staff of the jail nuts.

Throw her in solitary confinement for three weeks and be done with it!

They keep showing the original court order where the judge both hand wrote and typed NO HOUSE ARREST, NO WORK RELEASE.  Now apparantly he's PO'd and planning on sending her right back.

This is the same sherriff that released that Rodriguez girl (another celebrity) after only a few hours because of overcrowding a few months ago.

He has a reputation of not liking the problems that go along with housing a famous inmate.

I still wonder if he isn't just getting paid off.

Either way, it's time for someone to deal with this Sheriff.

Can you say PRISSY LOSER? Maybe she should have thought about the unpleasantness of jail before she decided to repeatedly and blatantly blow off the law. I hope the judge sends her back...it's a bad message we are sending to our country about the privileges of money and fame. To not do so is a violation of our legal system's supposed ethical principles, namely of equality. And, it's annoying it just keeps soaking up the news! Geez, anyone else would have to just start visiting with the criminal system psychiatrist...

I know, this is absolutely insane.

Honestly, the entire system has lost some respect in my eyes. I really didn't think something so stupid was possible in our justice system.

Well, the poor thing . . . we certainly wouldn't want jail to feel like any form of punishment.

Hm, I'd say hitting the emergency button when there's no emergency would not be good behavior...

This whole thing is RIDICULOUS!

She was supposed to be in court at 9 AM, but it's an hour after that and we're still watching deputies come and go from her house.

Apparantly in LA court dates are open ended, get there when ya get there.  Maybe the judge should come to her home so she's not too put out.

I heard this morning on the news that they let her go because she is on such a high dose of mental drugs that the jail didn't want the liability of messing up in dispensing those to her.

The interviewer said that doesn't make sense because they dispense medications to people with diabetes, heart and other truly life threatening conditions every day.

Yesssssss! They so should! And, if Paris is taking her sweet time getting to her court appointment, she should face the same.

Two hours and 20 minutes of Paris coverage, and FINALLY some other news, they took three minutes to mention the Joint Cheif of Staff chairman is announcing his retirement.

BACK TO PARIS!

I think they've gone commercial free this entire two hours too!  weirdface.gif

The original sentence of 45 days was reduced to 23 days a few days after she was sentenced for "anticipated good behavior" weirdface.gif

WHAT THE HELL GOES ON IN CALIFORNIA?!?!?!! angered.gif

i don't think that's accurate Riggs. They expected her to get out after 23 days because of good behaviour, but a lack thereof would mean serving up to the 45 days. However, on house arrest, the full sentence applies and she would serve 40 days there (since she served 5 already).

I dislike this Sherriff Baca more and more...slimeball..evileye

Baca dismissed the criticism, saying the decision was made based on medical advice.

"It isn't wise to keep a person in jail with her problem over an extended period of time and let the problem get worse," Baca told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday.

"My message to those who don't like celebrities is that punishing celebrities more than the average American is not justice," Baca said.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown criticized the Sheriff's Department for letting Hilton out of jail, saying he believed she should serve out her sentence.

"It does hold up the system to ridicule when the powerful and the famous get special treatment," Brown told The Associated Press in an interview before testifying at a congressional hearing in Washington.

"I'm sure there's a lot of people who've seen their family members go to jail and have various ailments, physical and psychological, that didn't get them released," he said. "I'd say it's time for a course correction."

That would make more sense G-Gal.  But I'm not sure, because the judges and lawyers they're talking to right now on the news claim there's no way they can make her go back to jail for anymore than 20 days because that's what it had been reduced too.

They're making it sound like it would be unfair punishment to extend it to the full 45 days now because she's been told 23.  I would think if the reports are true that she was being so difficult then she should automatically been back to a 45 day term anyway.

I'm thinking this is similar to the gratuity being included in the bill (another pet peeve of mine).  They're making it sound like there was no way she could spend more than 23 days because they have already shortened the sentence to that.

And what was her problem? She didn't have a big mirror to look into to?

No one really says except a ague allusion to a potential nervous breakdown. What evah! Why doesn't she have to see the criminal system shrink like anyone else having issues while in jail?
