See what happens when you're nice to people with broken english.

But that was a result of a typo. It's my fingers' fault. Not due to my lack of knowledge of the English language.

Yes, I know. But still...

I'm really just try to keep this thread de-railed.

But it will cost you your freedom if you end up in jail.

That is why you steal in small quantities from different places.

Well I hope Paris will spend her time in jail doing something constructive for herself... Like study for her GED. I guess high school was too traumatic for her too.

She doesnt have a high school diploma? Really?

Who cares? She's a billionaire.

She has a GED. I learned that yesterday on CNN.

CN ****ing N!
The fact that one of the most prominent news networks in the world actually dedicated several hours to an airhead socialite and took the time to do an in-depth profile on her education background is mind-boggling.

Then again, I watched it.

I'll step in as Devil's Advocate here and say it's not just the fact that Paris is a well-known celebrity. She's also an heiress.

 

[EnvyEquatesHate]

I'm sorry man, but your post is simply not the truth. It's not. She is getting harsher treatment because she is paris hilton, and that is the reason. If her name was Joe Blow she would have gotten a week in jail, and according to the law, the sheriff has the authority to do it. They even freaking quoted the law last night on the news.

It was on Abrams new show. the normal sentence would have been 5 to 7 days, and the sheriff has the authority to do this, and he does it every single day.

Dude. Whats wrong with you? Sorry to be rude but your concept of the US Law is fleeting. Extremely so.

As Jag has said the usual in MOST STATES for violation of Parole ,inciting a DUI is 60 days or more. If you're lucky, you'll serve less time incarcerated and then be placed on Parole or ACD. Thats Unsupervised Parole. Which extends your "sentence" to a full year. No matter what. Period.

The Sheriff only has the authority to release her from what we here in NYC call "The Tank" under the grounds that she has no forward progress in projection. Meaning, she is not being projected to see a judge within the time that she is in "the tank". After such, she would be transported to what is called "Central Booking". Where she will see a judge, and then she will be sentenced. THEN she will be taken to a facility that the "Sheriff" has NO authority over what so ever.

You are sorely mistaken if you think she's being treated the way she is because of who she is.

She was given LIGHT treatment because of who she is and should be thankful that they didn't place her in for 5 months. Which would be the usual outcome of someone violating their Parole....TWICE.

Oh, well a GED is the same thing as a HS Diploma, but again, who cares. She's a billionaire.

Agreed 100 percent, J

Exactly, which is pretty much what I've been pointing out; judges have the discretion to make whatever call they want to within their legal boundaries for each individual case. There is not a one size fits all sentence, nor are their one size fits all rules for every inmate regarding having a sentence commuted for whatever reason. It is up to the discretion of the judge (or a jury, in the instances where a jury might be involved in sentencing).

What I can't believe is that he thinks "Good Behavior" gets "everyone" out "Early".

You know how many ex-cons would be flooding the streets right now?

You think people in prison act up all the time? They do their best to keep in the good graces of the facility almost 24/7. Thats if they WANT to -attempt- a Parole appeal.

I'm baffled at Spider-Bite's logic.

My friend Jason who got a DWI and got caught driving without his license. He got 60 days and had to serve two full weeks of it PLUS community service and probation. And I know that judge. Had my friend been a snot towards him over it, he'd have gotten the full sentence. I told ya....45 days is not an uncommon sentence.

jag

what was his prior criminal record? How far over the legal limit was he? And it varies from state to state. I can't say for sure if a week is normal in every state, or just her district, but I know that i nher district at least, the norm is a week.

As for the rest of your post, I think your just assuming facts, without knowing them to be true, and then using them to back up your argument. I watch the news a lot, and I watched the coverage on this. I heard several people who work in the courts say her sentence was way harsher than any other case they ever heard of, where the same crime had been committed.

I heard zeroe say the opposite.

But you don't get to wear the nifty cap and gown.

 

[terry78]

Sure, let's go to the club. I can practice my ******io that I'm going to give to some random B-lister on this lollipop here.

YEAH, get me some more shooters over here!!! I can still form coherent sentences and it's a Saturday night? No, that just will not do!

Officer, what are you talking about? I only had a sip of Mischa's Smirnoff Ice! I'm am ok to drunk, I'm not drive at all.

I'm not worried, my mommy will fix this.


......mom?

 

[Spider-Bite]

And, when has she ever did what she was told?

She showed up to jail when she was told, and as far as we know she got no infractions, and didn't disobey the officers while in jail.

As far as her being released, that's a legal matter to be worked out in the courts. It's not like she escaped without being authrorized to do so by the jail. The jail released her, and that can't legally be held against her. That would be like holding somebody's motion for an appeal against them. It would be a violation of due process.

I guess you know more than all of the lawyers, and attorneys? Right? The law books are wrong, and your right?

Okay I see. Because this argument I'm making here? I didn't make this up. This argument your combatting isn't mine, it's the law.

Err. Being in Law school for the last 5 years helps me out a bit to let me know I know a bit more than you on the subject =/

so I guess you know more than all of the people who went to law school, and then got 20 years experience in law?

I ask you this. What is the name of the law in Wisconsin, which states a person's medical background can not be used to discredit them as a witness in a court of law?

 

[logansoldcigar]

Right, let me say one thing: i couldnt care less about Paris Hilton.
I wouldnt normally bother with a thread about her.

But I have to ask this:

I thought the US had some constituional thing about cruel and unusual punishment. Cos I cant think of much that is a more Cruel punishment then sending someone inside, letting them go out tagged and then a couple of days later saying "sorry, although you turned up to jail as you should, behaved for the admittedly pathetic amount of time you were in chokey, and havent broken the terms of your tagged period, we have to send you back cos the judge has thrown his toys out of the pram"


and i do find myself asking that if it wasnt Paris Hilton (about whom there seems to be a developing cult of hatred), would the Judge have done his pieces?

 

[Badger]

^How much is Spider-Bite paying you?

 

[logansoldcigar]

Its common sense.

do you honestly believe the judge would have done his pieces if it were you or me (assuming an identical case history to her, just not the whole celebrity baggage )

cos I dont

 

[Calvin]

Yes, yes it does.

I almost find myself wishing the Hilton line would go totally bankrupt, just to see what happens to this air-ess.
