Paris Hilton gets 45 days in jail

[Scoobydoo]

I guess I''m in minority here..i have a different perspective. I am not happy she has had troubles, or even that she might go to jail, I am not gleeful at idea of that and have trouble getting why anyone would. She's still a human being,and I feel badly that she hasnt from childhood, been tuaght and raised in a way that would help her live her life diferent.

But she still should do her time. I have no sympathy at all for the little brat.

What the ????? three days????, so much for equal justice for all.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Paris Hilton was freed from jail Thursday morning, just three days after she began serving what was to be a 23-day sentence for violating probation, according to celebrity Web site TMZ.com. TMZ.com quoted what it called "unimpeachable sources" saying Hilton left the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, early Thursday.

Yeah, for good behavior.

Which I don't understand, since she's in Solitary for 23 hours a day.

What a joke...

Lawyers around the country can now cite Paris so their clients can get a lame 3-day sentence.

I like how the jail cited that they don't have the space for her to be in her old cell. They seriously had one person occupying a 2-3 person space.

Disgusting. I see this as the failure of the law system. Innocent until proven guilty, then guilty until proven wealthy. :(

That's just one example of unequal justice between rich and poor.

Here's another: Consider a rich and poor innocent person arrested and jailed pending trial with a very high bond. The rich person bonds out then proves innocent at the trial, gets the bond money back, and walks. The poor person can't come up with bond money, so they sit in jail for months until they get to trial, prove innocent, and walk.

Or consider the misdemeanors. Same offense, same monetary penalty, but different value taken. For the rich person it is insignificant pocket change and for the poor person it's a higher percentage of their working life.

The truth is that there are many people who do horrible crimes, even assault, and get off with some slap on the wrist. I agree in a perfect world there would be perfect justice.
However I hardly see what she did as the cause of the year that necessitates poeple to get so angry and feel she should serve hard time, if that's the case, then everyone who has gotten off from more serious crimes needs to pay up.
On a personal note, this is just my own personal thing and doesnt change at all the above, my dad was a drunk slob growing up. HE drove drunk many, many times, even with young babies, toddlers in the caer and almost got us killed. It was terrifying. For some reason, he was just not caught at it, and continued to put his family thru he**. The fact a cop didnt happen to see it, is the only reasons he wasnt locked up.
I also read about a man who killed several people drunk driving, as an illegal with no license.
Do you (general you) also want him to pay up, big time, I assume if you want equal justice, this man will be either deported or put in jail many years to come.
So, I am not saying what she did was right, but in comparison to many crimes people get off of, it was pretty minor, she didnt hurt anyone, she didnt involve young children in her driving, etc. So, just because she's a celebrity shouldnt mean she should get a harsher sentence either.

It's obvious that many poeple want her punished mroe than they would want a regular person punished, bc of fact she is rich and they resent that

It wasn't for good behavior. Paris stopped eating in jail, so they let her out citing medical reasons.

Perhaps a good legal team at work? Perhaps not.

Poor thing was crying, not eating, and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Anyone should be let out under those circumstances, shouldn't they?:rolleyes:

Drunk driving is one of the major causes of death. In fact, I can't think of very many people who haven't had it change their lives in some way. I'm already disgusted by how easily someone can get away with driving like an idiot and risking the lives of those around them, I find it even more disgusting when a self-centered bourgeoisie b**ch gets out of an already petty punishment because of a rich parent. The whole ordeal spits on the dream of American equality.

Fame, Power, Money.

Its a vicious triangle, whenever someone has one of these things, it can be transfered into another.

Sometimes my family will watch Entertainment Tonite, every time I see that show I wonder why I should care so much about the personal lives of others that I need a show to tell me whats what.

What is the purpose? I get nothing practical out of knowing this information. Why do they get so much attention and money? Many stars are famous for being famous, the do not deserve the admiration of anyone.

Paris Hilton should never have been arrested, sent to jail, placed on house arrest, or even given probation. Paris Hilton is not violating anybody's rights while driving drunk. Drunk driving should not even be against the law. The government has no right to regulate our blood content, and the fact that a breathalyzer is needed to determine whether we are breaking the law or not is despicable. That is not how the law is supposed to work. The law is not suppose to follow probabilities. When you drive drunk, there is only a probability that you may cause an accident, and within that there is only a probability that it could have been avoided if you weren't drunk. There are many, many drunk drivers who do not kill people when they are driving, much less themselves, yet they are still breaking the law despite the fact there has been no damage to persons or property.

To sum it up: Legalize drunk driving. And leave Paris alone.

Is this the medical reasons??? I thought she had at least come down with a case of hives or something from anxiety. Sure I could see her crying, it has worked all her life. But is crying and not eating (easy for dieters) sound reason. If I ever again see the inside of a jail cell will crying and not eating get me house arrest? I could do time at home with an ankle bracelet, movies, beer and delivery pizza.

How ironic.

Her lawyer visits her after the first day and comments that Paris was doing fine, sleeping and eating, etc.

But after his visit, she suddenly stops eating and tries like hell to not eat.

The only two things they can't force you to do in prison are eat and sleep. You are allowed to starve yourself to death. At least you are in some states.

[tinybear]

Are you suggesting that her lawyer taught her to do that?

[ZNFYRH]

Suggesting?

Not at all.

Directly stating.

[tinybear]

Were you the fly on the wall, then?

[ZNFYRH]

It's just a guess, is all.
