Hahahahahaha... Paris has to be back in court tomorrow at 9am. The Sherriff may be looking at contempt of court charges. :laugh:

According to one other report Paris was let out because she was suicidal. Well if that's all it takes to get out of jail... Why hasn't anyone tried that before?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hours after Paris Hilton was sent home under house arrest Thursday, the judge who put her in jail ordered her into court to determine whether she should be put 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.

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer issued his order after the city attorney filed a petition late Thursday afternoon questioning if Sheriff Lee Baca should be held in contempt of court for releasing Hilton Thursday morning.

The celebrity inmate was sent home from the L.A. County jail's Lynwood lockup shortly after 2 a.m. for an unspecified medical condition in a stunning reduction to her original 45-day sentence.

She was ordered to finish her 45-day sentence under house arrest, meaning she could not leave her four-bedroom, three-bath home in the Hollywood Hills until next month.

:thumbsup:

Why isn't she dead??

 

[everman]

Looks like Paris might get a proper ride down to the jail in the back of a police car after all. And she'll probably get another wonderful full body search upon reentry. Hopefully the dumbass sheriff gets the book thrown at him.

You're a moron. The Sheriff is solely responsible for the jail. It is HIS JAIL -- not the Judge's. Furthermore, he is liable for what goes on there or if someone has a medical problem there. While your typical LA County inmate cannot afford an excellent attorney, Paris Hilton can, and it is likely this Sheriff simply doesn't want to deal with the strain on his resources, the liability, and the continued nagging of her being in his jail.

Very moronic to suggest that he was bribed. Perhaps you have a price, but most people in Law Enforcement in a high profile case are neither stupid, greedy, dishonest, or unfair.

Horray, now the news channels don't have to do any real reporting! Begin the 24/7 Paris Hilton coverage. And throw in some Anna Nicole Smith, too!

and by the week after we'll have a blow by blow account of her "terrible ordeal" on the shelves at your local book store.

" i was shown to my cell, i was shaking like my dead puppy dog, OMG theres no mirror! what am i gonna do, how will i ever cope for 20 days. the beds not big enough to make a house out of but at least its cleaner than me."

there'll be book siginings and publicity stunts and it'll all be marvellous

I was right

front page of the SUN this morning

big facial picture of paris blubbing, with sensationalist headlines alround her face.

"suicide blonde"
"crys her self to sleep in cell"
"cracking up"

jeez, 3 whole days in a prisons special needs ward and that happens, you gotta be super soft in the head to be that weak

Did you forget celebs live completely sheltered lives (from the day she was born in this case) and aren't as weathered as you or I?

What dream world are you living in?

Why do you people really think it was the money? Because she has it and you don't? Albeit the amount of freedom you enjoy is directly proportionate to the depth of your checking account but this is not even close to injustice. Most people get fined for driving after suspension for DUI, and 6 months is middle of the road suspension for first offense, lets put this in perspective.

My state (NH) first offense DUI ends up with 6 months suspension with possible restoration (if compliance requirements are met) within 90 days (read if you can afford to and have all your isht together your back on the road in 90 days)

A previous state, (VA) first offense DUI is 12 months restricted license (i.e. to and from work only) with all the standard insurance requirements.

There are plenty more but 6 month suspension is nothing all that light for first offense. Additionally driving on suspended (for whatever reason) is not in and of itself usually jailed for first offenders, MOST states recommend a statutory fine of ~$250-$500. And to quash all the "it's because she is rich" sayers to my discredit I have been charged (in the last 4 years) with far more and worse than paris and not 1 of the things I have been charged and convicted of landed me a 45 day sentence. 1 of which I was held in jail in excess of 120 days but this was for a felony and a relatively serious one at that, primarily because I wouldn't rat and is a different story all together. And I at the time was making less than ~$50k/yr and even now make sub $100k and thus never qualified as rich...

The justice or injustice system if you prefer works as intended and is designed to incarcerate MOST TRUE CRIMINALS and PROFIT from people commiting crimes if you can comprehend the difference, people like Paris Hilton feed the justice system and is actually an example of how it's actually supposed to work. Take for instance:

1. Paris gets arrested blah blah has to put up cash to the courts for her release (Cha-Ching!)
2. Paris then retains counsel for her defence (Uhmm state taxes takes a cut of his salary no? Cha-Chingx2!)
3. Paris gets fined for said offense (Cha-Chingx3!)
3a. If Paris is incarcerated (and actually stayed there) she is charged a nominal fee to stay ($1 a day is pretty common Cha-Chingx4)
3b. If paris uses the commisary (inmate goods purchase program Cha-Chingx5) additionally as an example, those ramen noodles that cost ~0.11 at walmart fetch ~0.60 in jail for the commisary company.
4. Paris as a result now pays higher insurance premium (State takes a cut of that companies profits Cha-Chingx6!)

If you people can't see how this is profitable for the state to prosecute her and let her walk if she pays enough to a lawyer I dunno what to tell you, additionally they have nothing to gain by incarcerating here for any length of time, she is not a "violent" criminal which is who the incarceration system is really more reserved for. She's just stupid...

 

[Gilligansdingy]

She was on probation. She failed to live up to the agreed upon terms. That makes her a repeat offender. She belongs in jail.

 

[L00ker]

Probation only means that your sentance is postponed for the probationary period, this being said what was her sentance? Hrmm looks like:

http://news.corporate.findlaw....cahilton43007mot3.html

Pursuant to section 23103(c) a person convicted of violating 23103...

Shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than five days nor more than 90 days OR by a fine of not less than one hundred fourty-five dollars nor more than one thousand dollars or by both that fine and imprisonment


So BY the law she can't be incarcerated for more than 90 days, subsequently for violating probation they sentenced her to 1/2 the maximum which = average. Secondarily they also MAX'ed her on fines (as money is no object to her and this is the most beneficial to the court/state) so she did 5 days, which was the minimum by law she had to serve and will finish the rest while at her house which even brings her up to 45 days and thus she is serving 1/2 the max. The ONLY thing the probation meant is that THIS sentance would be suspended for the probationary time (36 months) it does NOT mean she would/should have gotten 36 months in jail...

Additionally I find it amusing (at best) that the press and others here keep referring to it as "Prison" PRISON is measured in years and is handed down for charges of a felony nature and higher. JAIL is measured in months and is handed down for misdemeanor charges, NO ONE goes to PRISON for a MISDEMEANOR, but sensationalist reporting owns all eh?

 

[trenchfoot]

i wish i were in on the negotiations that led to this decision. must have been decided on awhile ago. expensive grease is good for the soul via the exchange of......"good will". and, i don't buy alcoholic withdrawals and hangnails as a justifiable "medical condition" for early release either.

i can't wait for her to screw up again. it seems to be something she's really good at. watching her mess up is alot more fun than watching old "green acres" and "f troop" re-runs.

seeing as if she has audaciously risen above and beyond the call of idiocy, i await the opening of the posh paris hilton/lindsey lohan bar and nightclub adjoined next door by the hilton-lohan rehab clinic and driving school with satellite traffic court annnex.

at least, these worthless spoiled brats haven't killed anyone.......yet.

seems like the sheriff circumvented the judge and prosecutor in releasing her... according to tmz, the judge is working on getting paris back in prison.

Hopefully this puts the last nail into her "career".

Fear not! The judge has ordered her back into court tomorrow at 9am. Sheriff Lee Bacca may be facing contempt of court charges. Apparently her "medical condition" was her being suicidal, a diagnosis made by her own psychiatrist. Nothing they havn't seen in prison before and certainly nothing they aren't capable of dealing with in the jail.

That's hot...

And here comes our good buddy Reverend Al to the scene.

The Rev. Al Sharpton denounced Paris Hilton's release from jail on Thursday, saying it had "all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism."

"I think that it's both another glaring display of how money and more money seem to get different treatments. There seems to be a different criminal justice system for some than others," Sharpton said.

For once I might tend to agree with him

Fixed that for you Al...

LOS ANGELES - After only three days behind bars, Paris Hilton traded a 12-by-8-foot cell for her 2,700-square-foot Hollywood Hills home when she was released early Thursday because of an unspecified medical condition.

I didnt think retardation was a "medical condition". Guess it is...

I've really tried to ignore this whole circus, but this early release just completely rubs me the wrong way, it's entitled, it's eletist, it's arbitrary. I hope the judge, gets his pound of flesh from whomever concotted this mockery of the legal system. I don't blame Paris, she has highly paid lawyers doing what highly paid lawyers are supposed to, but those that fell for this an enabled them to do so should pay as well.

That or every non-violent drug user current in jail (those in for posession, not for driving while high, endangering others, etc) should all be sent home tomorrow as well.
