Someone Tell Me Why

[heartlvrs]

On earth paris hilton is out of jail after only serving 3 days....if it was a "regular" person they would not have gotten half a sentence and then only serve 3 days....wonder what she promised the DA???:thumpdown:

[SG420]

I think that is just the stupidest thing, goes to show if u got money u can pretty much do anything u want. Im sure she promised the DA a year of sex so she can spread her herpes to him.

[Tasha405]

I agree with SG420....money can buy you anything. If that had been me, they would've had my ass in jail so quick I wouldn't know what hit me. Not only did she get a good behavior bunch of crap BEFORE she even entered jail, then only spent 3 days out of her 23? I don't think I would ever been treated so nicely and let off the hook like this, do you?

This is just a bunch of BS!!

[PrincessArky]

well they sure as hell sent a great message to Paris.........just do whatever you want and you don't have to pay. I hope she gets help before she gets behind the wheel and kills someone :(

[MistyWolf]

I just woke up so I didn't know she is out after 3 days .. lol. That is crazy!! .. People are going to like her even less because she is an idiot who obviously thinks she is better than everyone else. Grow up Paris and do your time like a woman!

Updated: 11 minutes ago
For medical reasons, Paris Hilton will serve her sentence at home, according to a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

After serving just three days behind bars, Hilton was "reassigned" to home detention and was sent home with a electronic-monitoring device. In conjunction with her home detention, Hilton's sentence was re-set at 40 days.

The reality TV star and heiress was originally sentenced to 45 days for violating the terms of her probation following a DUI arrest. The judge cut her sentence to 23 days. Hilton checked into the facility Sunday night to begin serving a more than three-week sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress surrendered to authorities with little fanfare after a surprise appearance earlier that day at the MTV Movie Awards, where she worked the red carpet in a strapless designer gown.

She was held in a special unit where she was spending 23 hours a day in a solitary cell, her lawyer said.

After she checked in, sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton’s demeanor was helpful.

“She was focused; she was cooperative,” he said.

Hilton’s lawyer, Richard Hutton, said Monday after his client’s first night in jail that she was doing well under the circumstances.

The star of “The Simple Life” reality TV show pleaded no contest to a reckless-driving charge in January and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation. When she was later pulled over by the California Highway Patrol, Hilton was told that she was driving on a suspended license and signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. She was then pulled over by sheriff’s deputies on Feb. 27 and charged with violating probation.

After serving only three full days behind bars, Paris Hilton was released from jail early Thursday, partly due to "medical" reasons — but she has been fitted with an ankle bracelet and must remain confined to her home for 40 days.

"She's confined to her home for 40 days," sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said at a press conference Thursday morning, adding that her electronic monitoring device has a range of 3,000 to 4,000 feet.

Hilton was originally sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case, but had been expected to serve 23 days because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.

Whitmore said under the new agreement, Hilton would be confined to her home for 40 days.

"Because she has agreed to this through her attorney, her sentence is now back up to the 45 days. She has served already five days so that's 40 days," he explained, including the time she served on Sunday night and Thursday as "days."

On the heels of reports that Hilton had been crying in jail and receiving visits from her psychiatrist, reporters at the press conference seemed to think that the heiress had manipulated her jailers.

Whitmore didn't fully deny this accusation. When one reporter asked him, “What’s your comment to people who say she played you like a puppet on a string — she came in here, didn’t like it, it was hard and she got out?” he replied, “Once again, I just think that’s a different way of saying it, only the language is a little more — liquid. I would simply say that I understand that."

The sheriff's spokesman would not elaborate on Hilton's medical issues, nor would he say if they were physical or psychological. He added that the decision to send Hilton home was based on dozens of consultations and discussions over a period of three or four days.

Jared Shapiro, senior news and entertainment director of Life & Style Weekly magazine, said people aren't going to be happy about Hilton's early release.

"This is one of the most privileged, entitled people to ever walk the face of the earth, and no matter what she does — whether its a sex tape or whether she's driving drunk or whether she goes to jail — she comes out on top, she makes money off it, she profits from it and she comes out quite all right," he told FOX News.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress surrendered to authorities with little fanfare Sunday night after a surprise appearance earlier that day at the MTV Movie Awards, where she worked the red carpet in a strapless designer gown.

She was held in a special unit where she was spending 23 hours a day in a solitary cell, her lawyer said.

Kyle Richards, an aunt of Hilton's, said earlier that Hilton was doing well but was bored in jail.

"She's just sitting in there for 23 hours a day with nothing to do," she said. "She picked out a bunch of books to take with her, but at the last minute she found out they wouldn't let her take the books. They wouldn't let her take anything."

I am not a fan of Paris at all, actually I find her rather sickening, but out of all fairness, If I had her money and influence and I was in jail, I would definanitly use it. And I feel it is safe to say that anyone would use it. I am not saying it is right but I really can't blame her.
Do I think she should be put in jail over what she did? If the law states jail time then yes she should serve it. It isn't right that she can cry and boo hoo and get out, but hey it did work for her, If I thought it would work for me, then believe me I would cry for a month of Sundays...lol. I have been pulled over for speeding before and cried and cried and I didn't get a ticket.

Yeah but we know that neither of us would put ourselves in the spot of drinking and driving the way that she does :( I wish they would have kept her if for no other reason than to wake her up. It will be a very very sad day for everyone if she gets behind the wheel and kills someone :(

Paris Hilton ordered to return to court
By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent
27 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton's release from jail may be short lived. Hours after she was sent home under house arrest Thursday for an undisclosed medical condition, the judge who put her in jail for violating her reckless-driving probation ordered her into court to decide if she should go back behind bars.

Hilton must report to court at 9 a.m. Friday, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told The Associated Press. "My understanding is she will be brought in in a sheriff's vehicle from her home," Parachini said.

The celebrity inmate was sent home from the Los Angeles County jail's Lynwood lockup shortly after 2 a.m. in a stunning reduction to her original 45-day sentence. She had reported to jail Sunday night after attending the MTV Movie Awards in a strapless designer dress.

She was ordered to finish her sentence under house arrest, meaning she could not leave her four-bedroom, three-bath home in the Hollywood Hills until next month.

City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo complained that he learned of her release the same way as almost everyone else — through news reports.

Then, late Thursday, he filed a petition questioning whether Sheriff Lee Baca should be held in contempt of court for releasing Hilton — and demanding that she be held in custody. Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer's decision to haul Hilton back to the courtroom came shortly after. "It is the city attorney's position that the decision on whether or not Ms. Hilton should be released early and placed on electronic monitoring should be made by Judge Sauer and not the Sheriff's Department," said Jeffrey Isaacs of the city attorney's office.

Sauer himself had expressed his unhappiness with Hilton's release before Delgadillo asked him to return her to court. When he sentenced Hilton to jail last month, he ruled specifically that she could not serve her sentence at home under electronic monitoring. Delgadillo's office indicated that it would argue that the Sheriff's Department violated Sauer's May 4 sentencing order.

As word spread earlier Thursday that the 26-year-old poster child for bad celebrity behavior was back home, radio helicopter pilots who normally report on traffic conditions were dispatched to hover over her house and describe it to morning commuters. Paparazzi photographers on the ground quickly assembled outside its gates.

Hilton herself kept a low profile, although late in the morning a man arrived outside her house with a supply of cupcakes he said she had instructed him to distribute to the media horde.

Her parents also arrived and briefly entered, then left, the home.

Shortly before noon, Hilton issued a statement through her attorney. "I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally," she said. "I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes."

Attorneys differed on whether her treatment was unusual. "She would have gotten out early if she was plain Jane," said Leonard Levine, who has handled numerous probation violation cases. He noted that overcrowding in the Los Angeles County jail system has led to thousands of nonviolent offenders serving only 10 percent of their sentences. "She did as much time as a normal person would have done." :rolleyes:

Loyola University law professor Laurie Levenson said that she suspected the deal for Hilton's early release was in the works even before she entered the jail system — and that officials probably were anxious to get her out of their custody. "The time and resources needed to take care of a Paris Hilton are huge," she said. "They have to make sure she is safe and her medical needs are attended to. Everything they did was going to be looked at under a microscope."

Levine said that with rewards being offered for pictures of Hilton in custody, jail officials would have had to monitor the cell phone cameras of every employee.

Rene Seidel of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services said he had "never heard of" an inmate being released from jail for a medical condition. Inmates with a cold are sent to a jail clinic, he said, and the seriously ill go to the jail ward of the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.

Hilton's path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a Hollywood street in her Mercedes-Benz on what she said was a late-night run to a hamburger stand.

She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

In the months that followed she was stopped twice by officers who discovered her driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom, where he sentenced her to jail.

[realheaven]

"They have to make sure she is safe and her medical needs are attended to. "Quote

Let me assure everyone about this one. When you say that you would never be treated like Paris and would have to serve the full sentence, you are absolultely right. I had a doctors order that I couldn't travel to court because I was 8 months pregnant and a high risk pregnancy. It didn't matter to the judge or sheriff at all. I was sent to jail and had to serve the full time according to the almighty judge's orders. My medical needs definitely were NOT attended to like it was quoted above for Paris. I wasn't given any medical attention an even though it was part of the rules regarding pregnant inmates that they be given an extra 8 ounces of liquid each day in addition to their three servings of liquid, I never was. I had to ask to see a nurse just to get an extra serving of water, juice that I was SUPPOSE to without any special requests.

The worst part of all this to me is how different each different county is in how they punish people. Last year a famous athlete got a 2nd DUI and killed someone and spent less than 90 days in jail. The end. Others have gotten life for killing someone. Every COUNTY is different in how they enforce/interpret the law...NOT FAIR!! In Los Angeles, it sounds like the sheriff has jurisdiction over his jailers. In other places, the judge has the supreme jurisdiction over everything.

Oh yeah, my baby got in distress while I was in jail from lack of hydration.

LOS ANGELES — Paris Hilton will not physically appear in an Los Angeles courthouse Friday morning as she was ordered to do — she will "attend" the hearing via telephone, the court announced.

There is also a possibility the hearing will take place in the judge's chambers, rather than in open court.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress was headed for a courtroom showdown Friday that could put her back behind bars, as prosecutors sought to hold sheriff's officials in contempt for releasing her early from jail.

Hilton was ordered to "report" to court at noon ET, said Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini.

Jailbird Chic: Paris should have easy time accessorizing with ankle monitor

The frenzy began early Thursday when sheriff's officials released Hilton because of an undisclosed medical condition and sent her home under house arrest. She had been in jail since late Sunday.

Hilton was fitted with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and was expected to finish her 45-day sentence for a reckless driving probation violation at her four-bedroom, three-bath home.
The decision by Sheriff Lee Baca to move Hilton chafed prosecutors and Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer, who spelled out during sentencing that Hilton was not allowed to serve house detention.

Late Thursday, Sauer issued the order for Hilton to return to court after the city attorney filed a petition demanding that Hilton be returned to jail and to show cause why Baca shouldn't be held in contempt of court.

The move also was met with outrage from the sheriff's deputies union, members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, civil rights leaders, defense attorneys and others.

"What transpired here is outrageous," county Supervisor Don Knabe told The Associated Press, adding he received more than 400 angry e-mails and hundreds more phone calls from around the country.

Hilton's return home "gives the impression of ... celebrity justice being handed out," he said.

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."

The Los Angeles County jail system is so overcrowded that attorneys and jail officials have said it is not unusual for nonviolent offenders like Hilton to be released after serving as little as 10 percent of their sentences.

In the hours after Hilton's release, it was a madcap scene outside her house in the hills above the Sunset Strip. As word spread that she was back home, radio helicopter pilots who normally report on traffic conditions were dispatched to hover over her house and describe it to morning commuters. Paparazzi photographers on the ground quickly assembled outside its gates.

Shortly before noon, Hilton issued a statement through her attorney.

"I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally," she said. "I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes."
