Poor, poor Paris Hilton

[Morrigoon]

You know, when you're in court for MULTIPLE incidences of disregarding the law, and your parole orders, and getting caught on multiple occasions (meaning you probably violated the law on many more occasions that you got away with), AND you show up late for court... it's gonna piss the judge off.

That last part I don't think was her fault... the sheriff was the one who was supposed to pick her up, after all, and she thought she could appear via telephone (which is not a bizarre thing).

The judge wants to make an example out of her, and she is probably detoxxing from Oxycontin or something like that (I have seen people detox from this drug and my lord it is not a fun experience). Hence the medical issues and the hysterics. (They're running stories that she has extreme claustrophobia, lol)

But I certainly do not think she should do the full 45 days (if, indeed she ever was). The "getting out of jail" thing was NOT her decision, but rather, that of the sheriff, and Paris shouldn't have to pay for that.

On a side note, here was the email I got from Al this morning:

Subject: There are seven helicopters above my apartment...

...the area is clogged with reporters and paparazzi, and to top it off - the
streets all around the West Hollywood area are closed for Gay Pride weekend.

I hate Paris Hilton.

What a mess. But...here we are talking about it!!!

Not to speak for Mori, as she does that so very well on her own, but I thought she was talking about being late to the court date arising from her second probation violation, the incident that resulted in the original 45 day sentence... not this latest incident

Neither do I, and it's my understanding she won't if she doesn't cause any more trouble. She still applies for time off for good behavior (LOL) and will not serve the full 45 days if she keeps her nose clean.

I didn't understand it at first, but then I read PerezHilton and then it all made sense.

Eesh! So much over someone so little.

This thread has a lot of guessing what "normal" is for a sentence and time served in a situation like Paris Hilton's. This LA Times article has a lot of actual statistics.

One sentence sums it up pretty well:

Had Hilton left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60% of those inmates.

Though is bears noting that her sentence and time served is not a complete outlier.
