And RaeRae, there is usually a pissing match between cops and prosecutors. Most do not like each other for various reasons.

I wish I could say I`m amazed at the level of Schadenfreude people are exhibiting...
I think the whole thing between the Sheriff`s office and the DA is horrible. I think she was caught in the middle.
That aside, I don`t believe jail time is an appropriate sentence for anyone at this level of re-offense. I do think mandatory community service would be a better punishment. The people who do this aren`t criminally minded, they`re just poor at making decisions. They need the opportunity to learn about responsible behaviour and empathy. Jail doesn`t do that.
Of course people are free to disagree with me, but I`m not going to defend my position. This is how I feel.

The first two things ALONE should land her ass in jail for a LONG time.
How is that not criminally minded? That's not bad decision making, that's deliberately choosing to intentionally break laws that are applicable across this entire nation.
*She purchases/procures enough of these drugs to share them with her friends when out and about, there are pictures of enough coke to speed up an entire room of people as she's sucking it off some guy's chest. Normal people (that's us) would be in jail for felony convictions for this crap. She skates by. It's bullshit.

You know that it would have been very easy for her to avoid all of this, right?
DON'T BREAK THE DAMN LAWS, REPEATEDLY, AND THIS SHIT WON'T HAPPEN TO YOU.
I obey the law every day of my life, as do most of us, and it isn't hard. Zero sympathy for someone who put themselves in this situation.

Hilton Ordered Back to Jail!
Paris Hilton was taken from a courtroom screaming and crying Friday seconds after a judge ordered her returned to jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case.
"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out to her mother in the audience.
Hilton, who was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff's car, came into the courtroom disheveled and weeping. Her hair was askew and she wore a gray fuzzy sweatshirt over slacks. She wore no makeup and she cried throughout the hearing.
Her body also shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents, seated behind her in the courtroom, and mouthed, "I love you."
She had been brought to court in sheriff's custody today for a court hearing on her early release from jail after back-and-forth decisions on whether she could participate by telephone from her home.
Hilton, appearing to be in handcuffs, cried after she was placed into a black-and-white patrol car, which sped away from her home with lights flashing as news helicopters pursued, broadcasting live TV coverage.
The car carrying her disappeared into the courthouse's underground parking lot, avoiding a swarm of news media, and her parents then arrived.
In the hearing, which began at late morning, a judge was to listen to the city attorney's complaint that the county sheriff did not have the right to reassign her to electronically monitored home detention after only three days in jail for violating probation in a reckless driving case.
On Thursday, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered that Hilton be brought to Friday's hearing. But early Friday a court spokesman announced that she would be allowed to participate by telephone, which is common in misdemeanor cases. Then, in a reversal, the spokesman said the judge had ordered the Sheriff's Department to pick her up and bring her to court.
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 for three days.
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 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.
Baca does not have to be in court, and it was unclear who would represent the Sheriff's Department.
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, D.C.
"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 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.
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."
Hilton's path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a 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.

I made some crappy mistakes when I was young, I guess I have some empathy, because `but for the grace of God, there go I` I can feel sorry for people in that position, and feel the current methods of dealing with such misdemeanors is inappropriate. *shrug*
People can get righteous about all this, or start thinking of why so many kids in society get into this position? I find people who take such glee in this situation to be puzzling, frankly. I feel more alarmed by that, lol.

Not only did she make a "mistake" (characterizing this as such is BS to me anyway) but she COMPOUNDED it every step of the way by continuing to break the law.
Zero sympathy. I don't celebrate her treatment and take pleasure in it, but I don't feel one bit sorry for her. She did this to herself.

How, honestly, can her behaviour be considered a mistake? Seriously? She's repeatedly making the same decisions over and over again, and absolutely not remorseful about making them at all. Not a bit. None of it. She's not upset she messed up, she's upset she got caught.
Normal people LEARN from their mistakes, and I think that's the reason so many people are cheering her return to Lynwood. She's not making mistakes and learning from them, she's actively engaging in behaviour she knows is wrong and doing her best to shrug off the consequences.
Those aren't mistakes...mistakes are made without intent. It's not a mistake if you do it on purpose. Everything she's done, she's done on purpose. You don't 'mistakenly' snort coke. You don't 'mistakenly' smoke pot, or drink underage.
You don't 'mistakenly' drive while on a suspended license.
NONE of those are mistakes.

Here's what pisses me off the most; she has enough money to buy a $300,000 Mercedes but she couldn't produce enough foresight (yeah, I know...it's Paris Hilton) to realize that on a suspended license she could've easily hired a driver to shuttle her around Hollywood? If this would have been anyone else in the general public, we'd be screwed...relying on public transportation or the goodwill of friends to drive us around. This is someone who has oodles of money, and clearly enough money to have hired someone to have completely avoided this media spectacle.
I don't feel sorry for her; she did the crime (regardless of whether or not you agree that the punishment fits the crime), she needs to do the time. I do, however, think it's wrong that they sent her home, and then made her come back today. You're telling me this couldn't have been sorted out while she was still in jail? I call bullshit (and further media spectacle).

It's not like she opened her cell door and walked out. The Sheriff made the decision to let her go. Rocky and the Judge are just crying because the Sheriff made a fool out of them.
If anything, he sentence should just be thrown out at this point, due to the complete circus the Sheriff, DA, Judge have made out of this case now.

Had she simply said "Yes sir, I understand, I messed up, and I'm ready to take what you've doled out as punishment for my repeated disregard for the law as it is written" there wouldn't be a media circus because her saggy butt would still be in jail. I have to question anyone who blindly and completely inexcuses this type of behaviour over and over again. |

Re: Hilton Ordered Back to Jail!
IMO she should have never been let out to begin with. It obvious the Hilton's paid the Sherrif's Dept. I am sure there are hundreds of people in jail with illnesses or conditions and THEY are not let out. So why should she just walk on out? She needs to finish out her sentance just like us non-celebrities would be expected to if we broke the law.
