She did not recieve a slap on the wrist in the first place. She recieved what an average person would recieve for a first offense. It is not infrequent for a person to be let out of jail to serve house arrest for many different reasons including medical reasons. So you are wrong.



You are not telling the whole story, and maybe were not told the whole story. There would not be any jail time for anyone with a first offense. So you are wrong.


The punishment is supposed to fit the crime and driving with a suspended license is not much of a crime.



The Sheriff has the power to release inmates from his jail for many different reasons and he exercises that power virtually every day. It is SOP to the point that he does not normally file with the court, as he is technically required to do. Normally Judges do not interrfer with the power of the Sheriff as this Judge has.

I will not be surprised to see the Sheriff file the proper paper work with the court and she will be released to house arrest once again.

if hilton was anyone else..it wouldn't be so hard to find a picture of her behind the bars..naked lol!

Why don't you an Paris get a room? Driving on a suspended license is serious. Driving and violating parole / probabtion even more so.

I am not a fan of Paris and no, driving on a suspended license is not a serious offense and no, breaking summary probation is not a serious offense. Jail time is not usually given for driving on a suspended license and even if it is the outside range is normally no more than 72 hours max.

I'm not sure what you're going on, but I'm going on the reports given in the last 24 hours from Los Angeles Country Prosecutors and criminal analysts. From what I read, they haven't heard of an inmate being released from custody for medical reasons in Los Angeles County before.... they've instead been transferred to medical facilities.

Maybe you're right. I can only go on what I witnessed, what I was told, and what the cops said as they arrested my friend in front of me. it's possible I misunderstood what the police were saying, and my friend was less than honest with me because he was embarrassed or whatever - but I don't think so.

She was also violating her probation and driving recklessly... and - on a personal note - on a street that my girlfriend drives home on every night, against the redundant instructions of a court to her. I think that's a significant crime, myself. It's not like she's going to jail for years here - she's in and out inside a month due to her being advanced an early release due to expected good behavior (and I'm not going to even bother touching that one). The judge noticed a person that has shown time and time again that she has no respect for the system - he gave her chances, and she laughed at him for doing so - maybe it's time for her to learn a little respect - the judge certainly seems to think so.

Even with the proper paperwork, no sheriff has the right to overturn the ruling of a judge - and that's exactly what happened here. In this case, explicit instructions were given that were not followed. After having given those explicit instructions, the call is the judge's, not the sheriff's - regardless of what paperwork was filed or was not filed.

The United States isn't a despotism.... yet.

Sarah killed it with that joke!

The paper work is susposed to be filed with the Court to get Court approval, but because it has been so common over the years the paper work is not usually filed because most Judges simply do not interrfer with the Sheriff's decisions.

BTW, there has been in the past, people "released" from jail and from prison because of medical reasons, so that they may seek private treatment.

I'm wondering how many of those 'common' cases dealt with the Sheriff violating an explicit order of the court, as this one did.

I have no doubt that the Sheriff makes calls that release people early or to house arrest every day... "released into the custody of the Sheriff's office" and all... but if the judge says "do not do this thing," the Sheriff isn't supposed to do that thing. The Sheriff operates at the behest of the courts - as, with the exception of "pardons," all members of the executive are supposed to.

I'm not saying it hasn't happened - I'm saying that County Criminal Analysts are saying that it hasn't happened for the term of a sentence in Los Angeles County... which seems to be at the heart of the issue here.

I know a dude who got 14 days in jail for his first offense of a suspended license


Paris thought she was above the law

she's such an untouchable bitch!:(
