I am not familiar with the legal players in this story, but up here the judge interprets the law and imposes sentences- the sheriff implements the judge's orders. It seems the sheriff down there is confused as to his job description. If I were the judge, I'd be citing his ass for contempt of court. The grandstanding here seems to be from the sheriff- I don't know the last time I saw one so very concerned about a prisoner, especially when said prisoner was 'enjoying' a private cell and didn't have to even undergo the usual strip search the first time around. (Don't know about this time- perhaps they will if only to ascertain she doesn't have any of the drugs that she is probably detoxing from inside her). Is he really all that concerned about her as a person, or because she's a rich, (in)famous and "hot"?
