Paris Hilton will probably spend the weekend in a medical ward at the jail facility where she surrendered Sunday night, referred to as Twin Towers.

We're told the plans will firm up within an hour. Hilton will stay there over the weekend, when her lawyer will file an appeal, called a writ of habeas corpus, which means, essentially, the body is being held illegally.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

She is only probably suffering her period

For breaking the law

Do people who take "coke" etc break the law....?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am sure if she had been an ugly frumpy hag with no money the vitriol would be non existant, lots of people with chips on their shoulders and jealous of her looks and wealth

You speak sense.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its amazing how god fearing and upholding of every element of the law people on NSC are, I never knew we were such roles models of society for condoning someone being killed or beaten to death becuase wow, they broke the law

No chips on my shoulder, couldn't give a f*** who she is, makes no odds to me if she is the celebrity THICK TWAT we know she is or just a nobody, my point stems from the fact that if it's OK for me to be banged up next to murderers for making a couple of phone calls to a WEASEL **** then it's fine for the same to happen to her, she broke the law, she can f***ing DEAL WITH IT.

That's a nail on the head moment right there.

If it breaks the law then yes. But you never see celebrities such as Pete Doherty and Kate Moss being sent to prision for it

The whole legal system in both UK and USA (and probably other countries around the world) make me sick

"Celebrities" should be made an example of as these are the people that many people (especially children) look up to these days and if the legal system is not doing it's job properly then people are going to turn around as sayi if they can get away with it and so could I

Im not saying that celebrities should serve longer more harsher sentences, just that they serve the same sentence as everyone else would get in the same prisions that every other Tom Dick and Harry should go to.

I don,t disagree with you at all.....if they repeatedly break the law,....then prison is the result. I merely question, that given her profile, should she be put at risk from other inmates...?
I frequently look in on NSP.....trying to gauge what sort of society my young children will join as they grow older.....and the regular occurrence of the "boasting" of what drugs people have taken on their evenings out, lead me to question why they feel so strongly that people who repeatedly break the law SHOULD go to prison, for a motoring offence.
I think (not certain) that more crimes are drug-related than driving.

Yes, just because she is a celebritie shouldn't make her no different than anyone else.
She knew the risk of driving while her licence was suspended could get her sent to jail and should also know the risks that being in jail could mean she gets threatened by other inmates.

If I was Primeminister, I would change the law (not that their is a law saying such thing) and say that celebrities should have the same rights as any other non-celebrity who goes to jail. Thus making celebrities think before they break the law.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

There's no evidence whatsoever that she will be in danger in prison.

There IS evidence that her "medical condition" was dreamt up by the best private psychiatrist that money can buy.



Screaming Paris Hilton ordered back to jail
By LINDA DEUTSCH

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES

Paris Hilton's cool, glamorous image evaporated Friday when she showed up in court disheveled, with no makeup, her hair askew and her face red with tears as her lawyers pleaded for her to remain under house arrest.

Crying out for her mother when she was ordered back to jail, she gave the impression of a little girl lost in the mysteries of the legal system.

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out to her mother, Kathy, who was also in tears..

She tried to move toward her parents but was steered away firmly by two sheriff's deputies who held her by each arm and hustled her from the courtroom.

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer, apparently unmoved by the pleas of her three lawyers, ordered Hilton returned to a Los Angeles County jail to serve out the remainder of her 45-day sentence violating probation in a reckless driving case.

The judge gave no explanation of 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 the heiress celebutante after three days in jail to do her time in the luxury of her Hollywood Hills home while on electronic monitoring.

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.

Following the hearing, the 26-year-old Hilton was taken to a correctional treatment center at the downtown Twin Towers jail for medical and psychiatric examination to determine which facility she will be held in, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

"She'll be there for at least a couple of days," he said.

The sheriff later defended his decision, citing jail crowding and what he termed "severe medical problems." Baca charged that Hilton received a more severe sentence than the usual penalty for such a crime, but he told a press conference he would not try to overrule Sauer's decision again.

"The criminal justice system should not create a football out of Ms. Hilton's status," the sheriff said grimly.

Hilton was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff's car and entered the courtroom weeping. Her hair, pulled back in a knot, was askew and she was wrapped in a long gray fuzzy sweatshirt over slacks. She cried throughout the hearing.

Her body shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents who were seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed the words, "I love you."

Despite being reincarcerated, she could still be released early. Inmates are given a day off their terms for every four days of good behavior, and her days in home detention counted as custody days. It appeared that Friday would count as her sixth day.

Friday's hearing was delayed by a misunderstanding. Hilton apparently thought she was going to be able to have a telephonic hearing, but the judge, who had not authorized that, angrily denounced a media outlet for spreading that rumor. He ordered sheriff's deputies to go to Hilton's home and bring her to court. The process took nearly two hours.

Once the hearing began, Sauer was blunt in his criticism of the sheriff for disobeying his orders which specifically banned home confinement with electronic monitoring.

"I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions," he said of the decision to release Hilton from jail after three days.

"At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road," he said.

The hearing was requested by the city attorney's office, which had prosecuted Hilton and wanted the sheriff held in contempt for deciding to reassign Hilton to home detention despite the judge's express order that she must serve her time in jail.

A member of the county counsel's staff said that Baca was concerned with Hilton's medical condition and was willing to come to court with medical personnel to meet with the judge. The judge did not take him up on the offer. The judge also took no action on the contempt request.

Assistant City Attorney Dan F. Jeffries argued that Hilton should be returned to jail, saying, "Her release after only three days erodes confidence in the judicial system."

Hilton's attorney, Richard Hutton, implored the judge to order a hearing in his chambers at which he would hear testimony about Hilton's medical condition before making a decision.

The judge did not respond to that suggestion.

Another of her attorneys, Steve Levine, said, "The sheriff has determined that because of her medical situation, this (jail) is a dangerous place for her.... The court's role here is to let the Sheriff's Department run the jail."

A former district attorney, Robert Philibosian, also represented Hilton. He said that the law supports the sheriff in making an independent decision on her custodial situation.

The judge interrupted to say that he had received a call last Wednesday from an undersheriff informing him that Hilton had a medical condition and that he would submit papers to the judge to consider. He said the papers never arrived.

Every few minutes, the judge would interrupt proceedings and state the time on the clock and note that the papers still had not arrived.

He also noted that he had heard that a private psychiatrist visited Hilton in jail and he wondered if that person played a role in deciding her medical needs.

The last attorney to speak was Deputy City Attorney David Bozanich, who declared, "This is a simple case. There was a court order. The Sheriff's Department chose to violate that order. There is no ambiguity."

As he made the final pitch for Hilton's further incarceration, Hilton's entire body began trembling. She had a ball of tissue clutched in her hand and tears ran down her face. At one point, she made the sign of the cross and appeared to be praying.

Seconds later the judge announced his decision.

"The defendant is remanded to county jail to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence. This order is forthwith," he said.

Hilton screamed.

The courtroom was surrounded with eight deputies who immediately ordered all spectators out.

Hilton's mother threw her arms around her husband Rick and sobbed uncontrollably.

Deputies escorted Hilton out of the room, holding each of her arms as she looked back.

The frenzy began early Thursday when sheriff's officials released Hilton because of an undisclosed medical condition and sent her home under house arrest with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet.

The Los Angeles County jail system is so overcrowded that attorneys and jail officials have said it is not unusual for nonviolent offenders like Hilton to be released after serving as little as 10 percent of their sentences. The sheriff's decision for an early release, however, was based on a medical condition rather than overcrowding.

Hilton's path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her Mercedes-Benz on what she said was a late-night run to a hamburger stand.

She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

In the months that followed she was stopped twice by officers who discovered her driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom, where he sentenced her to jail.

If she was a nonentity then sure, the vitriol would be correspondingly non-existent. But that's rather stating the bleedin' obvious!

As for being jealous of her looks, I'm quite happy in the ugly old hag camp, thanks. Only the alternative seems to involve having your brain removed and replaced with air. And there's no amount of money that could compensate for being as stoopid as Paris Hilton.

 

[bhaexpress]

Why is everybody so happy to see somebody in prison ? Granted the woman wasn't innocent but why gloat over somebody's misfortune ?

What will happen if she does get hurt in prison (being famous will make her a target for somebody trying to enhance their reputation) is that there will be the mother of all lawsuits in tried and traditional American tradition. It would have made more sense to have made her pay a large fine and community service where her fame could have been more use.

Poppycock. You agree with different rules for the rich then?

She was made an example of and what is the point of her incarceration ? I would very much doubt that the officials at the jail she's in want her there because protecting her will cost them money.

It would make far more sense to make use of her wealth and fame, I mean jail for driving while her license was suspended ? For a first offence ?

Mind you I wouldn't mind betting that the judge who sent her back to jail may live to regret it.

Dont take nsp as a snapshot of society!!!

 

[NMH]

I have a friend, a very shy and polite girl, who went to the LA downtown block for a year for a driving offence. She's had too many glasses of wine after dinner, and some bloke opened his car door right in front of her. Normally, he'd be at fault, but because she was over the limit, she was held. He then claimed he was hurt, so he could collect insurance money - and presto, an injury caused by a n intoxicated driver = a year in the slammer with some months in a rehab unit.

I don't say people should feel sorry for my friend, but no way should anyone be in the least bit sad for someone who gets money for being famous (for having money) and tries - and fails - to avoid her comparitively short sentance.

Boo Hilton?
