How many "non-heiress" people are serving longer terms than Paris for doing the exact same thing??
Well, it happens all the time here. People who are sent to jail on, say, a DUI often get released an hour later, due to the serious overcrowding issues and the Federal court order to improve conditions.
I'm sure having her there is a resource issue but I don't know how the Sheriff's Dept. didn't realize this would turn into a PR nightmare. They should have just sucked it up.
Not only that, but Paris has enough dough to have someone at her beck and call to drive her ass around LA. What a dumbass!
Didn't somebody, a musician or someone, do a PSA about drunk driving that was basically - "Don't drink and drive. I follow this rule by having a driver"
I noticed in that NPR link that she is now having to server out the original sentence of 45 days. They had lowered it to 23 I think. What a moron she is.
Oh wait, that's right she was going to have a nervous breakdown...eyeroll
My severely schizophrenic brother had to spend TWO WHOLE YEARS in PRISON (not county jail) for repeat DUI's and driving while suspended. He didn't get his meds in jail and the prosecutor resisted every one of my attempts to get him out and into a mental hospital. Guess how much sympathy I have for Paris Hilton? Zero. Link NOT safe for work.
The article I just read pointed out that they let her out for her "health issue," not overcrowding, so it sounds like just bad decision upon bad decision.
I think they're lucky they didn't have rioting. Totally racist and classist. Effers.
I hate to admit it, but Sharpton had a good point this morning. If it had been the daughter of a white accountant or black sports star, it wouldn't have happened.
Question -- do we think that it would have happened if it had been Nicole Ritchie?
They had lowered it to 23 I think. What a moron she is.
I dunno. They (the sheriff) allowed her to go home - can't really blame her for accepting it.

Yup her doctor said she was going to have a nervous breakdown if she had to serve her whole sentence.

I'm pretty sure that was the cover story. They thought it would play better in the media than, "Actually, we release people all the time. We don't like to talk about it but it happens 12 times a day."

Yeah but the pressure to get out was coming from her. She should have sucked it up and done her time.
