In her case that would be a second DUI during the term of probation, which she did not have.

You may be right on the summary probation thing - I dunno. Ever consider she received this slap on the wrist in the first place because of her status? It seems she was given plenty of preferential treatment in the past - reflected by the fact that she seems to be the first person released from sheriff's custody due to "medical problems."

Most, if not all jails in California are grossly overcrowed.

I know someone who went to jail for his first offense of driving with a suspended liscence (actually he had just parked his car) off Sunset. No other crimes were in the process of being committed - including wreckless driving or break of probation.

I think that's very debatable. To me, it simply seems he noticed someone that considered herself impervious to the system, and so saught the maximum he could under the law in an effort to impart onto her that she wasn't. As an Angelino with something very personal at stake in this matter (as I've expressed a couple times now), I, for one, would not have felt she would have been reformed with a simple anklet for a few weeks.

What country are you from again? Nazi Germany? Imperial Rome?
We have this thing called constitutional cgovernment in the U.S. It's the job of the judiciary to interpret law. It's the job of the executive (e.g. the sheriff's office) to execute those interpretations. I know most Americans have fogotten this facet of the way things work here in the last 7 years - but , I assure you, it's still the basis of our State Governments, at least.
