If I saw Paris dying while wrapped in burning plastic, I might laugh.

I’d think it was her newest fashion line - and then laugh along with you.

This is a sad commentary on my social life.

Heh-heh…tell me! I can’t remember the last time I was up late enough to see the 10:00 news. It’s pathetic, I tell ya…paTHETic!

Apparently, we aren’t allowed to know what the medical reason was for privacy reasons, which I suppose is fair enough.
But I’d really like to know. Really really like to know. Because it’s my impression that poor people can pretty much get prison shanked in the kidney and still not get let out for “medical reasons.” So what’s the deal here?

I believe that they are saying she wasn’t eating. I also heard tell that she would not stop crying. They were worried about both her physical and mental health.
Hooray for our loving and caring penal system and the humane way they treat prisoners!

Its actually pretty common for non violent offenders, many county lockups do not have the room to keep people so they release some low risk folks to make room for newer low risk who have done no time or violent types who probably should be kept off the street as long as possible.

I’d like to propose that they take several other low-risk offenders, give them ankle bracelets and let them room with Paris at her home. This way Paris still gets to experience some of prison life by having to get along with other people and she does a little good for the prison system by freeing up more space for the dangerous criminals.
Dammit, I want Paris to spend at least as much time in jail as I’ve spent hearing about how she’s going to jail.

I have no rich, skinny, overprivileged dog in this fight, but the TMZ entry also says this:
“She was originally sentenced to 45 days in jail, but that was reduced to 23. She served a total of five days – the normal stay for a violation of this kind.” Maybe that influenced the outcome, I don’t know.
[/QUOTE]
The bullshit about that is, they’re calling it 5 days served because she checked in before midnight on the 3rd, so she gets credit for that “day,” and checked out after midnight last night, so she gets credit for today, as well, even though her skanky ass didn’t actually sit in jail today or last Sunday. So technically, she spent all of 3 days in jail, not 5.
Spoiled bitch.
Shit like this makes me reconsider my position on the merits of fundamentalist Islam.
[QUOTE=Marley23]
I wouldn’t know, but I really doubt it’s normal for someone to be sentenced to 23 days and serve five. Wouldn’t she have just been sentenced to five days?

About 20 years ago my uncle was sentenced to 30 days for multiple DUI, he served 9 days for good behavior. This is in Manitoba, but the same principle applies. It worked too, he became a model driver and got his head screwed on straight after that.

Won’t work. The bracelet would slip right off.
For the record, I think Hilton is dumb bitch and will eventually get her just rewards.
However, I just don’t understand the fervor. She was arrested for violating probation for driving on a suspended license. People in jurisdictions all over the US never serve a day for this, yet where is the outcry there? Her probation for her first offense DUI is not uncommon for the common folk - hell, here in NM you can get the same sentence for your 23rd violation. I think the court system there tried to make an example with her, but was slapped in the face with the reality that the jail system couldn’t accomodate.
As to how much time she spent in jail it was 3 days and 2 hours and 22 minutes.
And to her crimes she had a DUI and got probation (normal in California for first offense) but then she violated her probation twice.
If a normal schmo violated their probation once they would have gotten the 45 days in jail but would have actually gotten out in 23 days for good behaviour.
So yes she is getting special treatment and I loathe the cunt about as much as I did before this whole jail thing. I just can’t be moved to loathe her anymore. My loathe-a-meter for her has been maxed out for several years now.

I’m annoyed that I know this, but I think she was pulled over for DUI twice before her license was suspended, and then drove around with her license suspended, which is what she was sentenced for.
I’m torn between not feeling outrage because, as the article states and other posters have stated, “five” days of that sentence served is the norm, and not feeling outrage because we are all very well aware that there are two justice systems in play in the U.S. Rich, famous, and sports stars do as they please and get away with it until they do something so egregious or continuous that the justice system is forced to take notice (basically, they kill someone, and even then there’s no guarantee of justice). It’s just the way it is. It’s good to be rich, famous, and/or really good at sports.

Well it must be for real, since we all know she can’t act for shit.
I don’t think 3-5 days in jail should be seen as no big deal- I was once jailed in small Southern town for not having my drivers license for four hours and was ready to slit my wrists.
Woo-hooo! Vichy can suck it!

Did you get an isolated cell and an hour of phone time a day?
You don’t think she’s pregnant, do you?
