amazing what money and the right 'dream team' can do ..... truly outrageous .... and he should really be getting counseling. He just never gave a thought to his poor children. Thank heavens the Browns keep them out of the spotlight.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: GO Megan and I agree - anyone else would been given jail time in JAIL -

she really said she was too pretty for prison ??? HAHAHAHAHA - what a freakin ego ! I guess her latest is now she said she's 'growing and learning' in jail - after 24 hours ?? I think she's 'learning' this country doesn't like the rich getting special treatment.

and Janie616 - I agree - as much as I used to like OJ - man did he get away with a brutal crime.

I think it is wrong for the judge to let public outcry and the charges of racial and economic preferential treatment sway him. The fact is, whether we like Paris Hilton or not, she is NOT getting equal treatment under the law. Her celebrity status is costing her!

She originally pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge (alcohol related but not a dui conviction). She got 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines for that one. The current jail time is a result of her driving on a suspended license, which constituted a violation of probation.

The sheriff who released her said Hilton received a more severe sentence than normal. He said usually there would be no jail time or the person would be placed in home confinement with the ankle monitor right off. Baca said, ""The only thing I can detect as special treatment is the amount of her sentence." "At a news conference on Friday, Sheriff Baca said: “The special treatment appears to be her celebrity status. She got more time in jail.” Under the normal terms of the early release program, he said, Ms. Hilton would not have served “any time in our jail.”

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. "“She’s a pawn in a turf fight right now,” said Laurie Levenson, a law professor at Loyola Law School Los Angeles. “It backfired against her because she’s a celebrity. She got a harsher sentence because she was a celebrity. And then when her lawyer found a way out of jail, there was too much public attention for it to sit well with the court.”"

So .... whether you look at the 23 days or the 45 days .... Paris has already completed more time in jail than most with her legal circumstances. But she is rich, spoiled rotten, a pretty little blond girl so people love to hate her. Why on earth anyone would think someone growing up like she has would be anything near normal is beyond me. But .... we want her to suffer for all that she has. WHY??? Give her no less but no more than anyone else. That is justice.

It is probably a bad reflection on society in general that we have let this saga monopolize our media! There are a lot more newsworthy events happening -- both good and bad.

I don't think people want her to suffer for what she has. There are plenty of wealthy people in the world that do not come across anything like Paris does- even young pretty ones. People are enjoying watching her suffer because she's so d*** annoying! Her sentence does sound a bit more severe than what the average person might have gotten but I'm sure not going to lose any sleep over it. She says one stupid thing after another- of course most people don't like her. Also- don't put too much stock in what the sheriff says- he's owned by her daddy.

watch this video making fun of her!
its hilarious :D

She's not even in jail but 'learning and growing' in a nice hospital room. :D :D :D I guess her tantrum worked. She VIOLATED Probation not once but 2 times - anyone else would be in jail and forgotten.

That's the point I was trying to make in my prior post about the woman who went to a restricted house & had to go back to prison for1 1/2 yrs ...some might say, "She went to jail for going to a house?"...no , she broke one of her rules of probation, that's why she went to jail..I also remember a guy that was on probation & did some minor offense & was returned immediately to prison to serve out the remainder of his sentence of 10 years....when your on probation there are strict rules you have to follow, if you can't abide by them there are consequences..I don't believe for a minute Paris will serve all the 45 days , I suspect she will do 7-10 days....they said 45 or til the judge says she can get out...

I agree. The courts love this kind of high profile situations. They feed off of it too cause it keeps them on T.V. You know everyone's singing the should'a. could'a, and would'as, but the fact is she DID NOT kill anyone. Otherwise she'd be in jail on completely different charges. I don't think that anyone deserves to be thrown around like a beach ball because they can't decide what's going to bring them more publicity. People should be more concerned about those men they can't charge for one reason or another on To Catch a Predator. There are certainly more dangerous people. I personally think that there are some people that are envious and therefore thrive on seeing people at their lowest. That's normal. If our lives would be under a microscope, I'm sure we would all serve time for one thing or another.

JUST MY OPINION.

TWICE. Not once did she violate her probation for driving with a suspended license but twice.

That's a blatent, "I'm above the law and if I want to drive, I'll drive."

The judge brought back the original sentencing of 45 days because in his original sentencing he specified that she could not and would not be released to house arrest instead of jail.
