The one where she fell off the horse was pretty good.

I'm hopin for a plungerin' for lil ol' Paris. :D

Im happy shes going back to jail... She needs to learn

Hahaha, hopefully she'll learn that she can't get out of everything. Seeing her cry makes the inner sadist in me smile. :stab:

I think it's wonderful to finally have a judge unable to be bought, unimpressed with celebrity and willing to apply the law fairly no matter what level of society one is from. This young woman has flaunted the law far too many times, blaming and firing an employee at one point (and later quietly rehiring him after he took the heat for her publically).

The only thing I feel at all sorry for really is that these parents have two beautiful daughters and have obviously allowed their money and social standing to warp these young women. This is likely one of the first times in her life that Paris has had someone say "no more!", set a limit and punishment and then stick to it. Her mother yelling in court about "all the money they spent" is just terrible. How about a little concern about your daughter and the life lessons you apparently forgot to teach! I think the Hilton parents should be very ashamed of themselves!

While I agree that Paris needs to serve her sentence, and the sheriff was wrong to cut her loose, I don't agree that anyone else would have gotten more time. She was sentenced to 45 days on a simple probation violation...driving with a suspended license. Most people would get maybe 2 weeks for that, the judge was making an example of Paris.
I don't care who she is, no one deserves to be made into an example by a judge with an agenda.

Other than that, I don't really care.

I agree with you there Sarah (though I believe it was more than on incident of being caught driving while under suspension). Paris needs to learn that her status and money don't buy her out of things but neither should they give her a harsher sentence than is normal in these sorts of cases.

I agree that no one should be made an example of by a judge or a District Attorney with an agenda. Though they should have taken her in the -first- time she was caught driving without a license during her probation, I agree that the 45 days was an attempt to make her an example.

One of my brother's friends, Mitchell is in jail--for two years and a day--for selling a single joint's worth of pot to a cop (in order to get cash for a burrito). He can't get parole, because the cops set up a sting in a "school zone" (though the "school" was a private Christian pre-school that wasn't even in session at the time)--he's got a minimum of 2 years, no getting out early. An 18-year-old kid. He wasn't a drug dealer, he was a hungry pothead.

Another friend of my brother's caught in the same sting, Kyle, was the first to go to trial, and because the jury knew that the minimum would be two years' time--he was found not guilty. This kid -is- a dealer, was arrested a year later and is now in jail (for possession of alcohol as a minor, for a hit of acid, drug paraphenalia, mushrooms and pot with intent to sell)--and he will probably be out of jail before Mitchell (the other kid), because he can get "good behavior".

Stuff like this pisses me off. Because the DA saw what happened with Kyle's trial, he decided to forbid Mitchell's attorney from telling the jury about the consequences of a guilty verdict--and the two years was mandatory. Mitchell, a pothead kid, got made an example of because the DA was angry that he didn't get Kyle, a real dealer.

And that's my rant :)

Wow, Kim, that is a really sad story :(
I hate almost all anti-drug laws, but that's an entirely different thread/rant.
