Paris Hilton ordered back to jail

Los Angeles, California - She was taken handcuffed and crying from her home. She was escorted into court disheveled, without makeup, hair askew and face red with tears.

Crying out for her mother when she was ordered back to jail, Paris Hilton's cool, glamorous image evaporated Friday as she gave the impression of a little girl lost in a merciless legal system.

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out to Kathy Hilton, who also was in tears.
The 26-year-old hotel heiress tried to move toward her parents but was firmly steered away by two sheriff's deputies, who held her by each arm and hustled her from the courtroom.

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was apparently unmoved by the pleas of Hilton's three lawyers to send her back to home confinement due to an unspecified medical condition. He ordered Hilton returned to a Los Angeles County jail to serve out the remainder of her 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The judge gave no explanation for his ruling. But his comments throughout the hearing showed he was affronted by county Sheriff Lee Baca's decision to set aside his instructions and release Hilton after three days in jail to finish her time in the luxury of her Hollywood Hills home.

Her lawyers said the reason for her release was an unspecified medical condition. The judge suggested that could be taken care of at jail medical facilities.

Yeah, I'm sick of the royalty that has been bestowed upon these Hollywood stars. But, what do you expect when society is set up in a way where a teacher who helps handicapped kids through their disabilities makes 35k/yr verses an actor in make believe world or a steroid drug role model breaking homerun records that affords them to make hundreds of millions of k.

Though I think capitalism is good, there has to be something done to address woeful inadequacies like this.

I guess it begins and ends with our value systems. Perhaps it brings more people to excitement and tears to watch a sports player break some old record or a starlet receive an Oscar rather than Teacher Mary to get her class of mildly mentally impaired children to read and write.

Hmmm...just thinking...I think all major league sports, and high school sports teams should, by the authority of their coaches and unions, be mandated in their contracts to participate as volunteers in all Special Olympics.

But what should stupid bimbo stars be forced to do to in a way that gives back to society?

[DoctorP]

I'm glad to see that they sent her back, but while watching the news the other day one guy made a good point. It is not exactly fair treatment that she is receiving. Look at how many Hollywood stars have done the same or worse in the past few years with absolutely no jail time!

[Tempestuous]

I think part of it is her blatant disrespect for the law & her attitude. Would be cool if it could become a standard that celebrities faced up to the consequences for their actions.....well even people in general.

[TheNoNamedOne]

Yea, DrP, I see your point with that. You really can't blame her or others saying this is unfair treatment when looking at past celebrity cases.

California's legal system has been the butt of jokes because of that. I think this judge is saying, "Not with me. Things are not like that in my docket." And I support his decision eventhough it is a break with the past that makes it look inconsistant. Hey, things have to change for the better sometime, and this is just a correction to the past failures.

Though, I hope someone takes care of Paris's little dog while she's gone.

I think she finally gets what she deserves. If a normal person did what she did they would have been sent to jail too. I hate the way American's put celebrities up on a pedestal above everyone else. They aren't that great and a lot of them are horrible people.

Are you sure about that? Most DUI arrests cause someone to spend about 4-8 hours in a cell then they are released home. They make a court appearance, and many (not all) wind up with a fine, several hours of community service, and probation. Not very often do they serve 30 days in jail. I realize that she broke her probation, but I think that the judge is making this personal.

I personally can't stand Ms. Hilton, but I am trying to look at this fairly.

[P_chan]

doctor P: I'm talking about repeat offensives as in her case.

[Tempestuous]

She had a DUI in September that got her license suspended and the actual arrest came from her driving while her license was suspended.

She was stopped a week after one of the hearings for the DUI (Jan 15th) and the PD informed her that her license was suspended from the Sept event. She signed a paper that stated she understood her license was suspended.

She pleaded no contest on Jan. 22 to a reduced charge of alcohol-related reckless driving.
The plea earned her three years of probation and a $1,500 fine as well as attend an alcohol education program.

A month after her plea she was driving in darkness with no headlights, 35miles over the speed limit, all the while her license was still suspended.....the note she signed on Jan 15th that her license was suspended was in her glove box.

They are contending that she violated her probation on 3 counts,
she failed to sign up for the alcohol education program,
several traffic violations,
& failed to "obey all laws and orders of the court."

Originally she was to serve 45 days, which she was appealing. It was dropped to 23 days and she dropped her appeal.
She served 3 days then when her attorney & a psychiatrist visited she was released the next day for an 'undisclosed medical condition'.

(That's bullsh!t!!! I am sure her "medical" treatment could have taken place by medical professionals at the facility, even if an outside dr came in and had to give them the directions. If the local facility could not handle the condition they have various hospitals that have high security areas set up as separate floors for the sole purpose of treating convicts.)

Now after the hub-bub the judge is reverting back to the original 45 day sentence.
If she had sucked it up and served the 23days, she would have gotten off with 22 days less time served.

[TheNoNamedOne]

Is it right that she should serve the original 45 days due to the poor judgement of the prison warden/sherrif who decided to release her without the judges approval? It sounds like now she is being punished for another's failure.

[Tempestuous]

Maybe the judge feels she poked him in the eye, getting her attorney to pull strings and go against his ruling?

I am sure the sheriff will be "handled" as well. I know the prosecuting attorney is calling for him to be held in contempt.

I would wager it is safe to say the judge is ticked off at her, her counsel and the sheriff.

But as it sounds, she will still only be serving the 23 days (now 18) if she behaves.
They came to that number after accrediting her the time off for good behavior.
Even though the judge said 45 days, I have continually heard that she will only be serving the remaining days from the 23 as they will be accrediting her the time off for good behavior. She has less than 3wks of time left to serve.


I googled it, some are believing it was a mental issue for which she quit taking her medication for while in confinement.......her deterioration since being in confinement had sheriff's medical team puzzled so the released her to home confinement.
So if she is so mentally distraught, shouldn't she go to a medical facility that could attend to her psychotic needs? Why would just going home be the answer? Can't she take her meds while at the confinement center?
Odd!

I bet just about anything she or her family had something to do with "another's failure".

So no, I really do think this is justified.

Seriously, why would the sherrif just up and decide to go against specific orders?

[Tempestuous]

My FIL thinks they should check the sheriff's bank account.

That's exactly what I was thinking. :p

Oh wow... Some of you might think this is funny. I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read this. I generally don't believe rumors, but this has me cracking up so bad just at the thought of it. Kind of sad in a "poor little thing" kind of way, but funny in a seeing somebody walk right into a glass door kind of way.


"She was absolutely terrified that one of the guards or staffers would get her with the cell-phone cam and it would wind up on the Internet," a Hilton insider said yesterday. "She didn't eat or drink a single thing for three days because she didn't want to use the toilet. She was in real danger."

Hilton also suffered from "extreme claustrophobia" and began hyperventilating and freaking out.
"She cried the entire time, and that wasn't helping the dehydration," the source said.

I have no feelings for Paris, but I can see the whole open toilet thing being a cause of concern for her. I mean think of how much money a couple of pics like that would go for in the tabloids! I do think she should fulfill her entire sentence, but perhaps they could make arrangements to give her a little bit of privacy while taking care of business. I know some will think that would be special favors that other inmates don't get, but other inmates typically don't have the photo popularity that Paris has.

[dk]

Yeah, I completely agree. Either that or absolutely positively make it mandatory for all police who are able to come within viewing distance to turn in anything that could possibly be used to take a photograph. But there's always the chance one of them would be corrupt and figure out a way to sneak in a hidden camera for the paparazzi.
