Ummm, she should have never went to jail in the first place on a suspended license violation (even it it was for a dui - which is a misdemeanor)
1,000's of people get busted on suspended license violations for all kinds of shit and 40% of the time they do NO TIME - so for her to even spend a night in jail was excessive
she should have been on home detention in the first place
and I don't know if you know anyone who's had to be on "house arrest" it's not all that - sure you can stay home and mix records all day but you can't leave to go buy a new one
You just don't like her
the sentencing judge didn't like her either

They should do time, and sorry, but a DUI is a big crime now, and should be. I know at least three people who have been killed or paralyzed by drunk drivers, so my sympathy level for a famous person, who could easily afford a driver, who decides to "rebel" by getting behind the wheel, and is too lame at bucking the system to not get caught, again, is nil.djadonis206 wrote:1,000's of people get busted on suspended license violations for all kinds of shit and 40% of the time they do NO TIME - so for her to even spend a night in jail was excessive

Sarah Silverman is great, isn't she? Paris was *PISSED* when she said that!kabuki wrote:"Undisclosed medical reasons"... She probably broke all her teeth on th ebars when they painted them to look like penises (to make her feel at home).
DJAdonis is right though, she could've/should've been on house arrest to begin with. They came down on her extra hard because of her celebrity, but now they've tempered it with special treatment because of her celebrity. So it all balances out?

She should serve the rest of the full term plus a fair some more on house arrest. The issue wasn't just the offense, they cut her slack with probation, and then she pulled a probation violation on top of that. This is someone who can afford a freaking driver, for crying out loud.jamester wrote:Sarah Silverman is great, isn't she?

Is it me, or have there been way too many clips of Paris and her entourage launching into stuff with cars?! there seems to often be one or two caught on camera moments floating around..sober and defensive driving is really rare though

but kind of like that movie pulp fiction
my girls a vegetarian so that makes me a vegetarian
my better half is a public defender and I have to listen to this kind of stuff all night
but for the record in Seattle (I had to ask)
If you're caught driving on a suspended license for a dui it's a second degree suspended license charge - mandatory 30 days in jail (in california it's obviously more...the judge gave her the max) BUT 9 times out of 10 depending on your record and the judges mood (seriously) people tend to night do anytime and home monitoring or house arrest is given
had Paris not been so stupid at her trial she probably would have got off with a warning or home monitoring but because of her "holier than thou" attitude in court the judge gave it to her (hehe, gave it to her...get it)
but hey, when I watch Law and Order I'm always rooting for Jack McCoy (the prosecutor) so I can hear where you're coming from...
Her sentencing may have been excessive compared to the common person but to an extent I think the courts do (and should) take into consideration a person's behavior outside the case. For example, 2 people with the same DUI charge, with one of them seen constantly partying since and the other person with documented proof of a treatment program and showing some remorse. Should they both get the same punishment?
But the fact that she got out this early does more damage to the system than if she just didn't get thrown in at all. Not to mention any amount of time in jail isn't going to impact her future in any way whatsoever, unlike the rest of us. The least she could do is take a month to chill out, sitting in a cage, and think about what she is going to do with all the money she is going to get from the major career booster this is for her. I didn't care much about this case before but this kind of pisses me off now.
