Paris Hilton - 45 days in jail

[breezephil]

Finally, the most annoying socialite in the world - has discovered that she is not immune to the Law.

Personally I think it is a Just thing to do, even though Her Lawyers think it is wrong - the daft cow needs a wake up call.

From the BBC

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has been jailed for 45 days after being found guilty of violating her probation for a drink-driving conviction.

A Los Angeles judge ruled she must start her sentence on 5 June and has no prospect of an early release.

Ms Hilton told the judge she was very sorry and that she would "pay complete attention to everything" from now on.
The socialite said she did not know her licence had been suspended when caught driving without headlights in February.

According to papers filed in Los Angeles' Superior Court, Ms Hilton was stopped by California Highway Patrol officers on 15 January and informed she was driving on a suspended licence.
The 26-year-old then reportedly signed a document acknowledging she was not allowed to drive.


On 27 February, she was stopped by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for speeding on Sunset Boulevard with her car's headlights off and charged with violating her probation.
Although Ms Hilton maintained she was not aware her licence had been suspended, court papers said the document she signed in January was found in her car's glove compartment.
She was also accused of failing to enrol in an alcohol education programme by a court-ordered deadline.


Late entrance
Ms Hilton was sentenced to three years' probation, fined $1,150 (£582), and lost her licence at the end of January after pleading no contest to a drink driving charge in September.
Despite prosecutors saying the heiress deserved a jail sentence prior to Friday's hearing, Ms Hilton arrived at the court at least 10 minutes late.

One of the world's most photographed women, her arrival attracted a swarm of paparazzi at a courthouse whose most glamorous work usually consists of dealing with parking fines.

Her mother, Kathy, laughed when the demand for a custodial sentence was made during the prosecution's closing argument and asked Judge Michael Sauer for his autograph.


"I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything," Ms Hilton told the court before she was sentenced.

"I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all," she said. But the judge was unmoved.

The 26-year-old heiress wept when the ruling was announced, and her mother shouted at the prosecutor: "You're pathetic."

One of Ms Hilton's lawyers said the jail sentence was unfair.

"To sentence Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail to me was uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous. I think she was singled out because she's who she is," Howard Weitzman said.
If Ms Hilton does not report to jail on 5 June she will face 90 days behind bars.

Ms Hilton, heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune, first gained notoriety for her constant partying as a teenager.

The BBC's David Willis says the austere surrounding of the all-women's detention centre will be a far cry from the five-star luxury the hotel heiress has become used to.
What her fellow inmates will make of her, and she of them, remains to be seen

So there she was, , when . Cop says you have a driving .
Despite her discussing the matter and claiming to not realise ,
she got . So she went to court and made out she was some kind of , but they knew she was in fact a lying cow and sentenced her to 45 days .
At least when she is inside she will be able to keep herself amused,
,i'm sure no one is going to .
Oh well, never mind!

[yorkshireborn]

it will be 45 days on her back 2 weeks later there will be a vid on the tinternet with her and 12 inmates and she'll make another million from that.

[Hideous]

Seems a bit harsh, doubt she'd get 45 days for that over here.
No sympathy though

[Big Sig]

A ban clearly did not do any good as she kept driving, fines are no good as she has more money than I could ever dream of! So whats left???? Lock her up! Its just what she needs, nothing else would be a deterrent for her and i'm sure thats why she got 45 days.

Well thought out decision I think

[breezephil]

She has done it before, although this time she didnt get some useless judge who is afraid of the Law teams these Celebs have behind them.

Good!
