You have GOT to be kidding me. Three days for a twenty-one day sentence that was leniently reduced from even longer?

That's hot.

the 21 (actually i heard 22, but what's a day matter?) days was what experts speculated that the typical sentence would be if the early release pattern at the jail held true. they already knew that with "good behavior" she would get credit (like anyone would) to make her actual stay 30 days (1 day off for every 2 good days).

but this is a lil suspect.

Her lawyers claimed that the facility was rife with staf germs. It does make one wonder though. Why is she more susceptible to germs than anyone else?

i have updated the article @ 10:15...apparantly a deal was reached to have her serve her sentence under house arrest.

I've read that driving on a suspended license rarely carries any jail time in California at all. If the taxpayers there want to pay extra to make a point about celebrities, whatever, but I'm willing to bet there are plenty of other more deserving people who they could put in that bunk.

It's a no-win situation for the jail. That much attention, that much threat of legal retaliation by the Hilton family, all for a charge of driving without a license? The judge should have fined her a lot of money and forced her to do community service. Then instead of leeching the system she would have been donating to it.

new update 10:35 am

It was a probation violation for a DUI, Baker. It's a little different when probation violations enter the picture. I agree, though, they'd be more likely to get the point across by having her cleanup the freeway in a bright orange jumpsuit that's SO NOT hot!

correct, but as it was pointed out to me, it ws actually 2 violations.



yeah, the la freeway isn't congested enough already, lol. imagaine the media circus and paparazzi. apparantly the circus just outside the prison was "ridonkulous."

This is the worst possible non-punishment they could mete. I think house arrest is hilarious, considering have you seen her house?! Talk about a miscarriage of justice. Justice here, in Mr. Conners' word, is "ridonkulous" indeed.

"Of course, it was reported that Paris was in a room with a bunk bed, but no roomate"

Do a little more research! people in Protective custody are in cells by themselves, always. to use this to show some kind of favoritisim is typical of you these days sean, find a point to make YOUR point and go from there.

Not when you look at the statistics of how people are sentenced. The person on the show I was watching said that Hilton's charge vs. sentence was almost unheard of in California for someone with her record. All the judge did was create a headache for the system.



There are a lot of other things she could have been forced to do that would be just as helpful and bar the paparazzi completely. I worked off a ticket down in the bowels of a big courthouse making photocopies of records. You don't have to be on a chain gang to offer public service.

She definately should have been heavily fined and done community service somewhere where the help is sorely needed! There's no way that the public as large won't think that money talks, as usual!

geeeeeeez baker...lighten up. that was a joke.(did ya miss the "lol"?) really seein red today, eh?

here's another (hopefully you'll laugh, rather than attack this time) ...maybe the "community service" she should do is teaching poor women who pump out kids how to give a decent blow-job. or at least teach em how to put the condom on with their mouth.


tasteless? sure...but only if you take it seriously.

and it comes to light that the cause for the release was...trumpets...mental anguish. Nice to know that all you need to do to get released from prison is get really upset and anxious.
