Fox reports that the sheriff should have just released Paris. Then he would have been with his right. By putting the bracelet on he violated the judges orders.

Yes no one will deny that Paris has the mentality of a child and a spoilt one at that. But is she going to prison for that or because of her crime.

It is also reported on Fox that Others who violated their parole for the SAME offense as paris did not go to jail or were sentenced to Jail. The usual punishment is to extend their license suspension or have their car taken away or both.

So it would appear the judge is not being fair to Paris Hilton but is making judgements based on his anger in this case. Anger over being overruled by the sheriff and Hilton acting like a child etc. Still you cannot punish Paris for that. This makes it likely the lawyers will appeal this punishment to the court of appeals and will likely win because of that. Then the judge will be the one who will be trying to defend his actions on TV.

You are not understanding the justice system correctly.

Once you are sentenced ... you are punished or at least not rewarded for your childish yelling and crying. For each day that Paris has good behaviour ... her sentence is reduced by a day. But for each time she yells and screams ... she has to serve that day with no reductions.

So ... she will suffer more for acting like a child.

Then obviously you have not heard the latest.

The sheriff has confirmed Paris will only serve 23 days NOT the 45 days.

Also she has a medical illness condition for which she was taking medication but the jail was not informed of that and therefore her mental condition was very poor as result and getting worse. The Sheriff read the judges ruling which said that the Sheriff has the authority to release ANYONE on a misdeanor charge he deems is neccessary to release for ANY reason the sheriff deams fit. However it appears the judge wanted to make an example of Paris Hiltion so the Sheriff will abide by that and not realease Paris until the 23 day sentence is finished. However Paris is in the medical jail and will stay there until her mental condition stablizes.

So Paris will NOT serve 45 days even if she does act like a child BECAUSE that was a result of her mental illness and by law we cannot punish a person for screaming at a judge because of mental illness.

So you are not aware of our judicial system or how it works. Keep up to date on the news and you will sound more intelligent in your posting.

Yes ... once a mental illness is documented there are different rules. That would not be considered childish behavior that is called mental illness if her behavior is directly attributed to the mental illness as it apparently has.

Fortuneately for Paris her condition is treatable. Within a couple of days she will be stablized and if she takes her medication she should be fine.

However the fact remains that the judge is singling out Paris Hiltion for a harsher sentence than the average person with her EXACT charges would be. Is this Fair? I think not.

Paris Hilton Is Ordered Back to Jail

LOS ANGELES, June 8 — The national obsession with celebrity collided head-on with the more serious issue of the equal application of justice on Friday, as a judge sent the socialite Paris Hilton back to jail some 36 hours after she was released for an unspecified medical problem.

Paris Hilton on her way to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Friday.

Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered Ms. Hilton to serve out the remainder of her sentence in a county lock-up after the city attorney, whose office had prosecuted the heiress, filed a petition asking that the sheriff’s department be held in contempt or explain why it had released her with an ankle monitor on Thursday, after she had served just five days.

Ms. Hilton had been sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. With time off for good behavior, she had been expected to serve 23.

Ms. Hilton, 26, wearing no makeup and with her hair disheveled, sobbed and screamed, “Mom, this isn’t right,” as she was taken from the packed courtroom by deputies.

It was a rare moment in this star-filled city, where badly behaving celebrities can seemingly get away with anything — or at least D.U.I. But Ms. Hilton, for all her money and celebrity, seems to have been caught between battling arms of the legal justice system here, with prosecutors and Judge Sauer determined to make a point by incarcerating her, only to have the sheriff’s office let her go.

“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.”

The struggle between the judge and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, which runs the jail, incited indignation far beyond the attention normally paid to a minor criminal matter.

Judicial and police officials here said they were inundated with calls from outraged citizens and curious media outlets from around the country and beyond. The Rev. Al Sharpton, the civil rights activist and media fixture, decried Ms. Hilton’s release as an example of “double standards,” where consideration was given to a pampered rich girl that would never be accorded an average inmate.

Even the presidential candidate John Edwards found himself drawn into the debate. When asked about Ms. Hilton’s release on Thursday he said, “Without regard to Paris Hilton, we have two Americas and I think what’s important is, it’s obvious that the problem exists.”

California has been struggling to comply with a federal order to ease overcrowding in its jails and prisons, and Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has for the past year implemented a program of early release. But that has frustrated prosecutors who believe that early release undermines their efforts to punish those found to have broken the law.

At a news conference on Friday, Mr. 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 city attorney whose office prosecuted Ms. Hilton’s case, Rocky Delgadillo, said preferential treatment had led to her being sent home with an ankle bracelet. In the original order sentencing Ms. Hilton to jail, the judge had specifically stated that Ms. Hilton would not be allowed a work furlough, work release or an electronic monitoring device in lieu of jail time.

“We cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment,” Mr. Delgadillo said after learning of the release.

In a news conference on Friday afternoon, Mr. Baca said that Ms. Hilton “had a serious medical condition,” though he declined to say what it was. He said, “This is evidence that this lady has severe problems.” But, he added, “The criminal justice system should not make a football out of Miss Hilton’s status.”

In a scene that seemed a strange parody of O. J. Simpson’s low-speed chase more than a decade ago, news cameras from across the country followed a police cruiser containing Ms. Hilton as it drove slowly down from her home to Superior Court Friday .

Good!

Everywhere I have read on the internet is crude remarks about what people wish would happen to Paris in Jail. Here are some of those wishes.

Raped by a cellmate.

Beat up by the guards

Her pretty face beat in.

To name a few. Some were put in such graphic details I cannot dare post them for they would be deleted.

Most crude and unsympathetic. The ONLY one who had compassion and mercy on Paris was her jailer.
The Sheriff had the authority to free Paris. Yet in an unprecedented move the judge ordered a sheriff move to free a prisoner back to jail. Why?? Because Paris was well known and the public outraage against the rich kid getting out of jail.

The question now is if Paris will be allowed out of jail in 23 days or 45. The sheriff said 23 but the judge said the full 45 days. Shrug. Still some confusion on that.

Found this statement on MSNBC.

========================
Making an example, however, out of Hilton might prove to be yet another blunder for the city’s legal system. If in fact her undisclosed medical condition is real and something happens to her when she’s on lockdown, the Hiltons might subsequently own more than a few hotels in L.A. They might be granted the deeds to the coveted three Bs — Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Brentwood.

==============================================

Judge Sauer had ordered the hearing for 9 a.m. When Ms. Hilton did not appear, apparently believing that she could participate by telephone, he sent sheriff’s deputies to escort her from her home.

When she arrived and the hearing began, the judge said he had received a call on Wednesday from an undersheriff informing him that Ms. Hilton had a medical condition and that the sheriff’s office would submit papers to the judge to consider releasing her early. The judge said the papers describing a “psychological” problem never arrived and, every few minutes during Friday’s court session, interrupted the proceedings to state the time and note that the papers had still not shown up.

Maybe the rich are able to attend court by phone, but I am unaware of this priviledge afforded to the rich...or to anyone for that matter. Why was Ms. Hilton thinking that she could? As for a "medical condition", I am again unaware that psychological problems are concidered a 'medical condition".

I am sorry,, but she is having "rich kid syndrome" and thinks she can get away and take priviledges wherever she can. The public needs to not have thier rights trampled upon by a transgressor. She needs to serve her full sentence.
