Bless Her Heart!

How sad is it that a jury can be asked to sit in judgement on any crime, major or minor, and be uniformed on what the consequences of their verdict will be when it comes to the sentencing stage. I think that is just wrong.

As a parent of school age kids though, I will say I do support laws that protect school zones from any drug dealing, at any level. I have seen the dealers, big and small, that stay just inches outside our school zones in Toledo while they push their junk on kids, and I'm talking elementary age kids here. Whether school is in or out, whether it's a big school or a small private one, some safe zone does need to be enforced for the kids.

Other than that, I don't really care.

She was caught driving with a suspended license twice, and I'm almost 100% positive that she was under the influence the second time that she was stopped. I don't care who you are, or how much money you have, driving drunk is completely unacceptable to me. I've seen the results of drunk driving, and I am completely against it, no matter how much you have drank. There are enough fatalities in car wrecks with sober drivers, so please don't add drinking and driving into the mix.

=Edit= It sounds like she failed a sobriety test the first time, instead of the second. If anyone here in Oklahoma had been found drunk driving, you'd be sitting in jail within 2 hours.

Picture of the day!

From the greatest site ever, www.thesuperficial.com

TMZ reports that instead of being transported to the Century Regional Detention Facility, Paris Hilton will spend the weekend in the medical ward of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility while her lawyers file an appeal. Her lawyers are filing a writ of habeas corpus, claiming her body is being held illegally. Which is about the only way anybody would ever want to hold her body. Zing!

I have no sympathy for anyone who deals in illegal drugs in any manner. I have two sons and 9 grandchildren. They better be glad I'm not a judge. And as for Paris. They should throw the book at her, she has walked away too many times with others left to pick up the pieces.:2cent:

I don't have time to search out a news site with the complete history, so Wiki will have to do for now. If anyone finds something different, post away!
According to her Wiki:
Paris was arrested and charged with DUI in Sept 2006. She pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge, her license was suspended, and she was put on probation for 36 months. In Feb 2007, she was caught speeding, with no headlights, with a suspended license. She was charged with those offenses along with failure to enroll in a court ordered alcohol education program.

I've also seen first-hand the effect of drunk driving. I am in no way advocating driving under the influence of anything. But the law should be applied equally to everyone. Making an example out of someone simply because she is a celebrity is wrong, period.

I think the news coverage is overblown. My local news actually showed live footage of Paris being driven to court this morning. I just think there are better things to spend my time worrying about. Like shoes. :cool:

My husband kind of feels sorry for her...whatever, he can think she got the short end of the stick if he wants. :rolleyes:
Personally, I have little pitty for her. She didn't know that it was against the law to drive on a suspended liscence? Yeah, RIGHT!
If you're drunk, stay out of the driver's seat; if you don't have a liscence or it's suspended, stay out of the driver's seat; but if you get busted and land your butt in jail, make sure to ALWAYS tell your lawyer that you're about to have a nervous breakdown so he can claim you have some medical condition that jail will make worse but driving while drunk will make better! If she's that messed up then she needs a shrink, not a drink. :taz:

OK, my rant is done. :D
