Sometimes real life is better than a reality show!
It seems that Paris Hilton was dragged back to the court house after her overnight slumber party at home. She was then sent back to jail to complete her 45 day sentence.
The hearing was requested by the city attorney's office, which had prosecuted Hilton and wanted sheriff Baca held in contempt for releasing Hilton despite Judge Sauer's express order that she must serve her time in jail.
It turns out that the sheriff sent her home due to an unspecified "medical condition" a condition that the judge was told about but never sent paper work for. During the day in court the judge continually interrupted Hilton's attorney, pointed to the clock and asked where the medical documents were.
Eventually he just sent her back to jail, pointing out that to do otherwise sends the message that people who are famous or who have money are above the law.
Paris cried throughout the proceedings and was lead away in tears. Through out the proceedings she kept turning to her parents and telling them "I love you," as if she were going to the chair.
Well, I guess jail is like the chair for someone as soft as Paris Hilton. How rude could those cops be? They even dragged her away from her "house arrest" before she had time to put her make-up on! The nerve of some people, don't they know who she is? I mean she did offer to attend the trial by phone!
It's only 45 days Paris and it's not like you'll be spending your time in Sing Sing! Think of it as a mini-vacation.
My faith in the judicial process is somewhat restored. This whole legal proceeding was starting to look like a joke. The message to the public: if you’re rich and famous, you’re above the law and it doesn’t apply to you. See the recent socialite case for a precedent. The judge’s response: wrong answer. Kudos goes to the judge for doing the right thing.
I am very glad that she is back in jail. She was rampantly disobedient of the law. However I did not want to write a post about it because I think that’s just contributing to her stardom. I can’t believe it when I hear all about her on every single station when there are so many other more important things going on (granted I’m in the Los Angeles area which is even more enamored with famous people than other areas). Still, I appreciate reading your thoughts.
On another note, I’m not sure if it’s because of the video but the page was pretty slow loading. Just wanted to let you know about that.
Derek, I was wondering about the load time, too.
It was just a combination of StumbleUpon traffic and search bots. Shared hosting does not like it when you get 4K+ pageviews a day ;)
I don’t think there are many people who are not cheering the US justice system for making an example of Hilton.
I can understand her crying though…I’ve spent a couple of nights in military jail once (which is as easy as it can get as far as jails go) and I wouldn’t like to find myself back there.
I say they give her a carton of smokes and send her back into general population.
