Well, I had to say it but I'm very tired.  I think I'm going to go and turn in.  

Oh one last thing, I took Sheena to the vet the night before.  My little girl weighs 87 pounds!  That was another hurt because Mom had asked me how much she weighted and I told her we would find out as soon as I took her for her "first" shots  (at least from our vet).  

Have a good evening all.  Sorry to be such a downer.

No it's not Paris....it's Frances Farmer being hauled off to jail to serve 45 days for violating her probation in a drunk driving arrest.   ;D

January 14, 1943.  8)



I was actually just thinking of the parallel there.  

Ok, I will say this....people don't get 45 days in jail for this sort of thing. Maybe a couple days but no more than that.  I didn't want to feel sorry for Paris Hilton, but I do. She is being punished because of who she is, not what she did and it really bothers me.

I've never been a big Paris fan, but please.  I've had clients with very long rap sheets for minor violations and they don't get 45 days in jail.  She's clearly gotten the point, she's been ridiculed and publicly humiliated and now she's having what appears to be some sort of a breakdown.  For this level of offense, my clients - who have no money - are treated better than Paris.

Cilla, thank you for that insight on Paris.  I searched for some in the news today & couldn't find it.

I don't think she is jailed for a DUI -- isn't it for violating the probation?

Yes it's for violating probation. My understanding is that she didn't plead to the DUI she pled to something else, got a fine and probation and then drove on a suspended license. There was some question on whether she knew the license was suspended.  A judge didn't order that, it came in a notice from DMV. If that was the case, you would expect an extension of probation, maybe a couple days in jail, but not 45 days.

LOL-I found news on Paris, just nothing explaining the details as you did.  I only scanned the articles, why she has become a celebrity is beyond my conception.

Francois -  What's with this "As FJL would say" thing?  Anyway, I actually read that as The Mystery of the Orangutan, and that a human being has at least four thousand orangutans during its lifetime.

LOL, LOL, LOL...

Apparently Paris was ordered back to jail!

I find this sort of bizarre since they let her out. But the way they describe the judge in this article makes me sound really harsh. I mean why wouldn't he let them explain what her medical condition was?

Normally a judge issues a sentence but for this level it would be the sheriff who determines whether there is overcrowding etc. The sheriff was within his authority to release her, I don't believe the judge was within his authority to order her back to jail...but we'll see how that shakes out over the coming days.  

As an example, a federal district court judge doesn't have the power to tell the Bureau of Prisons where to house or what programs to provide to a federal inmate. the judge can make recommendations, but he can't do anything about it if the BOP doesn't listen

Cilla, I did read if the sheriff had released her due to over crowding the judge might have left thing stand.  Since she was released for medical reasons, and the judge had ordered she not be put into house arrest, he intervened.  

That is what I think the article said when I scanned it.

Doesn't she have two more DUI's after the first? The airhead is a moron with an over-active sense of entitlement, completely spoiled and deserving all the law can throw at her stupid privileged little ass. There was clearly a deal set up between her reps and the sheriff, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some payoff, and whether she's spending too much time back in prison is the judge and prosecutor's affair.  

The truth is, a poor black, white or person of another racial makeup gets no special in-house treatment simply because they're suffering from AIDS, cancer or something else more serious than that dumb whore's disorder of Mutfa (Money Up the Fucking Ass), and - pay-off, corruption or whatever - I'm glad that someone in a California criminal court threw the book at her, if only to prove that a rich twit isn't granted special privileges.  Look at Martha Stewart, for chrissake! She wasn't happy either, but she did her time. She may be guilty of illegal financial matters but she wasn't threatening public safety by driving drunk.

Illegal business practices? Drunk driving? I think Martha deserved less time that Ms Hilton who should rot in jail.

Elmore, when Tim Allen, once again, was stopped for drunk driving nothing happened to him, and boy was I upset.  Craig had been out driving on the same street, about the time he was stopped.  I’m very grateful a cop pulled Allen over before he hit my kid.

I didn’t necessarily want him in jail, perhaps some kind of program to help him stop drinking-one that didn’t cater to folks with money.  

As annoying as Paris is, she should have been thrown into a drug program instead of getting probation.

Time to say goodnight.

I have no idea who either of these women are, actually, but it is plastered all over the news so that even the television and movie ignorant know their names and problems.

I'm not going to argue, Lar. But what you're saying is that you don't like her and that she has an attitude so she should have the book thrown at her. She drove on a suspended license while on probation. The evidence isn't clear that she knew it was suspended, but putting that aside, that is a violation of a misdemeanor, and a city code violation at that (the city prosecutor is involved) This makes it about the lowest level offense you can get. ....Martha Stewart was convicted of a federal felony. I don't agree with her sentence, but the judge was bound by the United States Sentencing Guidelines.

It's my understanding that "Joe Public" convicted of the violation that Paris Hilton was accused of violating would have gotten no jail time to begin with or maybe a day or two.  Because she's Paris, she got 45 days...that's crap and I don't even like her.   I have gotten many clients no jail or early release on minor misdemeanors because they have medical issues.
