LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Paris Hilton was freed from jail Thursday morning, just three days after she began serving what was to be a 23-day sentence for violating probation, according to celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

TMZ.com quoted what it called "unimpeachable sources" saying Hilton left the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, early Thursday.

The Web site said L.A. County Sheriff's Department would hold a news conference at 7 a.m. Pacific time (10 a.m. Eastern) to discuss her release.

Hilton checked into the facility Sunday night to begin serving a sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. The sentence, originally 45 days, was reduced to 23 for various reasons, including good behavior.

LA Sherrif's department is going to be holding a press conference on the matter shortly. Tune in...

...And if this bullshit is true...I'm not sure what I'm going to do...

Come on, you knew this would happen.

You'd assume that Paris Hilton would have just enough cash to have someone else drive her around when she was wasted.


And they can't possibly have let her off on good behavior...

LA Sherrif's department is going to be holding a press conference on the matter shortly. Tune in...

...And if this bullshit is true...I'm not sure what I'm going to do...

Clearly drinking and driving and violating probation are not serious crimes anymore, so don't let that hold you back...

Come on, you knew this would happen.

I'm surprised she did three days.

You'd assume that Paris Hilton would have just enough cash to have someone else drive her around when she was wasted.

If I was her, I'd have someone drive me around, period. Fuck driving.

Clearly drinking and driving and violating probation are not serious crimes anymore, so don't let that hold you back...

Less depressed, more angry.

IF this is true, it is an insult.

Less depressed, more angry.

IF this is true, it is an insult to everything I stand for.

The very existence and success of Paris Hilton is an insult to everything I stand for. She pisses me off just by breathing.

riots in LA?

I'm surprised she did three days.
Apparently she just couldn't stomach the hot dogs that they served for dinner.

No more wieners for Paris.

No more wieners for Paris.
She's going lesbian?! :eek: :mad:

This only reaffirms my disdain for celebrities...

If you ask me, this whole thing reeks of publicity stunt.

The very existence and success of Paris Hilton is an insult to everything I stand for. She pisses me off just by breathing.

One could say that by letting it get to me gives her power...

Yeah, fuck that, I'm still pissed.

So we're in agreement; if she wasn't rich, she'd just be a hooker, right?

So we're in agreement; if she wasn't rich, she'd just be a hooker, right?

Hookers are usually pretty horrifying but I don't think she could be one. Way too fucking scary. Who'd want to bone that?

..

What?

No.. really?

.. but...

*tunes in to CNN*

So we're in agreement; if she wasn't rich, she'd just be a hooker, right?

Ja.

JUST IN: They "reassigned" her to 40 days house arrest...for "medical reasons".

IE: They struck a deal...

Ugh...

Well she is clinically brain dead.

She was kinda hot before she got so... HER. She's one of the few people I'd reject on personality alone.

Ugh...

I said it before--rich people don't go to jail, not often.

I said it before--rich people don't go to jail, not often.

Five days in jail doesn't count as jail time anymore?

...They said that part of the deal was that they would go back to the original 45-day sentence for her house arrest...but said that it would be reduced to 40 days because she already served 5 days in jail...?

First of all, that should have no bearing...second of all...she served only 3 days...

CAN THESE PEOPLE COUNT?!

Edit: The reporters on scene seem as pissed as I am...This makes me happy...

She does not deserve technicallities...

I'm with you, but they disagree.

I'm actually upset that she isn't spending the 23 days in jail.

"Using this time to think about what I did."

.. right.

Honestly, I believe the judge in charge of this whole debacle should be fired and humiliated via thrown monkey poo while walking naked down main street.

Man, you're feeling vengeful this morning. :D

I'll put money on it being mental strain - she's been reported as crying and not sleeping throughout the 5 days.

That's the only legal technicality I can see for getting her out.

JUST IN: They "reassigned" her to 40 days house arrest...for "medical reasons".

Ugh...
Haha, so that's why her shrink visited with her yesterday. :p

And I bet my ass that she's gonna be seen out partying before the 40 days are up.

I believe the judge should be forced to have sex with Paris Hilton.

Man, you're feeling vengeful this morning. :D

He should feel vengeful, I'M feeling vengeful! They said she had a "medical condition" and that she's going to serve her sentence in her nice comfortable 4000 ft home. I'm not that stupid! I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!

She won't be "out" partying--her handlers will make sure of that, because she'll wind up back in real jail again, and no local judge will be able to stop it. But bet your ass there will be parties going on in the Hilton estate.

I'll put money on it being mental strain - she's been reported as crying and not sleeping throughout the 5 days.

That's the only legal technicality I can see for getting her out.

State prisons have people on SUICIDE WATCH because of their severe depression at being in prison.

Put HER on suicide watch! In fact, the funny farm, the happy house!

Hehehehehehehehe!

*dies*

It's interesting because I can see how this is a major mental strain for her - in all seriousness - and given it's her first offense (isn't it?), the judge is correct in granting that leniency and providing house arrest.

If she is out partying over the next 40 days then she's not taking her legal advice correctly - she shouldn't be seen drunk for at least 6 months to be safe though I suppose there's nothing they can do about it once her term is up.

Of course, the first time she does get drunk everyone will be 'OMG she's not changed, ritch bitch etc. ad nauseam'.

Ah well...

You're supposed to be depressed in jail, it's a depressing place. It's designed that way. Being depressed in prison is no more out of place than being happy at Disneyland...

She violated her probation, that's not a first offense.

Jail is a major mental strain on anyone--it's jail, after all--and it's not her first offense, because the reason she got the sentence in the first place was for a probation violation.

She violated her probation, that's not a first offense.

Ah, thanks - but the fact is that she's not a danger to society, in legal terms that is.

Suicide watch is different, I'm not sure her team would claim that as it would lead to suicide watch as you claim, undue mental strain, or whatever the technical term is, gets her out.

You're supposed to be depressed in jail, it's a depressing place. It's designed that way. Being depressed in prison is no more out of place than being happy at Disneyland...

Are you really supposed to be happy at Disneyland? I thought the point of that place was to reinforce the mind control.

Yet there are, eeh what's the word, extenuating circumstances here (not sure that's the correct word but anyway), if she's not sleeping, continuously crying and showing signs of medical mental strain then out she goes.

There's a case to send her to prison hospital but, as said, she's not a danger to society.

I hope a real legal person doesn't show up and call me for for talking off the top of my head - it's been a while since university.

She's a danger to society as much as any other drunk driving parole violator is.

I don't know. I'd call a repeated drunk driver a danger to society. Maybe not it legal terms or on the same level as say someone in for armed robbery, but she's still created a danger for others.

Man, you're feeling vengeful this morning. :D

I am. I don't know why, but I'm very easily ticked off for some reason.


But I stand by what I said - Phelps and the judge deserve what I suggested. :p

Well, in many senses you're right, repeat drunk driving is dangerous but this is the legal case they can make here not our own subjective opinions.

Barringtonia, you're right, but I feel like being a bitch because she's getting on my nerves, so there. <<

She won't be "out" partying--her handlers will make sure of that, because she'll wind up back in real jail again, and no local judge will be able to stop it. But bet your ass there will be parties going on in the Hilton estate.
Actually, I really think she will be. Like, really. Kinda to save her street cred among the other rich kids, you know? :p

Ooohh, let's make it a bet! $5 (€3.71) says she'll be seen out partying before her house arrest is up. Deal? :)

I'll bet $25 e-dollars she not only will be seen out partying, but will not have anything done against her despite it.

I'll put a Bolol Nuclear Cookie Mk. 3 down on it.

It's interesting only in terms of how they got her out - I've no doubt that she's good enough at cry-acting - given all the practice she'd have with Daddy - and I'd put money on the fact that her legal team/consultants gave her exact details on what to do.

I'd also say that the media reports that she's been crying and not sleeping have been purposely told to the media to build the case.

As Nazz says, rich people simply don't need to go to jail for too long, they know how to get out.

I'll bet $25 e-dollars she not only will be seen out partying, but will not have anything done against her despite it.

Bah. Bah, I say! I'm talking real money here, to be sent to the winner by the loser!
Why do you think it's only $5? :p

I'm in agreement with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and that's fucking horrifying.

Sorry--I was elsewhere on teh intarwebs. I think I'll pass on the wager, as my original thesis has been terrifyingly close, that she wouldn't spend any time in jail. She only spent three days; getting out of a house arrest violation probably wouldn't be that big a deal either.

So you're having second thoughts about placing this bet? Hm.
Well, it's Paris Hilton, who knows what she'll do. :p

To be sure, though, I usually only bet when I feel very, very positive that I'm gonna win. But usually I'm only betting against one person, too. :p

*mopes* ;P

heres what i think of paris hilton's bullshit 'medical' reason of getting removed from her cell and put on house arrest instead...:mp5: :headbang:

I'm surprised she did three days.

I was guessing Bush would pardon her.

Okay. not really...

So...

Celebrities go to jail for driving drunk, but only for a little while...But if they kill someone they go free? ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM!

Seriously, it's kind of surprising she went to jail at all.

for "medical reasons" i'm reading "withdrawal symptoms and an expensive lawyer".

This is why I hate celebrities and rich folk most days. They think they rule the world. It's people like this that make me resent any form of "justice" system that exists because we all know damn well that if she was some no-name black chick her ass would be in that jail cell 'till the cows came home.

They make a mockery of the justice system.

They ought to serve their time, fuck this leniency shit. If I did something asinine, you know that I'd be answering to the man and my ass would be fried. Even though I'm a 'white' chick, I'd still be doing time and all because I don't have a rich and famous name.

Sooner or later, one of these rich/celebrity types getting off this easy is going to spark something rather unpleasant. Not sure as to what, but I'm guessing that those in Beverly Hills might want to double check their homeowners insurance policies.

People will put up with such obvious hypocrisy for only so long.

She has a show where she basicly says, "Common people suck and we're above them. Watch us 'slum' in your everyday lives because we're sooo much better."

And not only does it not cause a revolution, but we eat it up and its gone into a third fucking season.

We're on the hook and not enough of us are going to get off.

WTF!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Damn the unfair US justice system to HELL!!!!!!!

Consensual fellatio = 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!

Drunk Driving (for rich people) = 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!


:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I still remember the statement that she made when she went in.

"[it's to] prove I'm just like everone else..."

This, is an insult. Had I been in the US (more specifically, Los Angeles), I'd be out in the streets rioting (I think that's what you people do there instead of protesting, but that could just be me...)!

Death to Paris Hilton (or, throw her back in jail)!

It just shows you the elitist-aligned society the US really is.

I cannot believe some stupid spoiled slut got freed from jail because of her over-reacting shrink and expensive lawyer.

Then again, this is the American justice system. Of course Paris Freaking Hilton is going to wear an untrendy and bulky anklet around her million-dollar mansion, while the nameless chick who did THE EXACT SAME THING will be serving 45 days or more.

I would say something about how appalling this is, but I'd rather not get Modslapped/grounded for saying things I shouldn't say.

:mad:

I wish this fucking bitch would get fucking killed, I'm really pissed off right now and this just made my day a whole lot fucking worse.

This pisses me off as an American, and it pisses me off to realize that our once glorious nation's society that was founded on equality for everyone, regardless of social status, has whithered away to the shit that it is now.

D'ya think crying and refusing to eat prison food will get Scooter out earlier?

I just heard something on the news that sounds like she may be going back. Supposedly she has a hearing on Friday that will determine where she spends the next 45 days.

Yeah, it's Paris Hilton. Justice only WISHES it were blind, or at least wearing really dark sunglasses or something, so it wouldn't have to look at who it had to deal with.

Well now this is fascinating, she's given us a sure fire strategy for getting out of jail. Just refuse to eat the food and start crying like a little pansy, but seriously WTF? Aren't there specialists within jails that deal with exactly this sort of thing?

I don't see too many other inmates at our prisons getting out because of a supposed near "nervous breakdown". Justice is blind my ass.

The fact is, I'm not sure other people with similar circumstances to her, disregarding her fame, would not be released early as well, if not put to jail at all.

L.A. prisons are notoriously overcrowded and many people are often released just hours after incarceration. 47, 000 (http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0421/p01s01-usju.html) people were released early in L.A. last year alone. If there are medical reasons as well, then all the more likely they'll be released early.

"For misdemeanor offenders our system has come to a grinding halt," says Sheriff Baca. "With thousands being freed after having paid less than 10 percent of their sentence, there simply is no sense of deterrence whatever. This is no way to run a criminal-justice system."

5 days of 23? More than 10%.

That's why justice cannot be blind here, because it can't treat her as a normal person due to public interest. Should she stay in jail for the full term just because people hate her, thus differentiating her from everyone else?

I just can't wrap my mind around why so many people would petition/care for someone, that wouldn't give a rat's ass whatever happened to them.

there's a press conference tomorrow and she may be going back.

I'd imagine the judge and the DA are catching nine kinds of hell over this right about now. Public outrage is a bitch when you have to run for re-election.

Its not the fault of the judge; he specifically said that she is not allowed to serve house arrest instead. It is the sheriff who let her free and he is being held in contempt for ignoring the judges ruling.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/08/paris.hilton.ap/index.html


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A judge has ordered Paris Hilton returned to jail to serve out her 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case.

She was taken from court screaming.

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out to her mother in the audience.

Earlier, a crying Hilton was taken to court in a police car Friday for a hearing on her early release from jail.

Hilton appeared to be in handcuffs when she was placed into a black-and-white patrol car, which sped away from her Hollywood Hills home with lights flashing. Paparazzi sprinted in pursuit and news helicopters pursued overhead, broadcasting live TV coverage.

The police car arrived at the courthouse and disappeared into the underground parking lot. Inside, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer listened to the city attorney's complaint that Sheriff Lee Baca did not have the right to reassign Hilton to electronically monitored home detention after only three days in jail for violating probation in a reckless driving case. (Timeline: The Hilton case)

The frenzy over Hilton's jail status began early Thursday when sheriff's officials released Hilton because of an undisclosed medical condition and sent her home under house arrest. She had been in jail since late Sunday. (Watch the details of Hilton's release Video)

Hilton was fitted with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and was expected to finish her 45-day sentence for a reckless driving probation violation at her four-bedroom, three-bath home.

The decision by Sheriff Lee Baca to move Hilton chafed prosecutors and Judge Sauer, who spelled out during sentencing that Hilton was not allowed to serve house detention.

Late Thursday, Sauer issued the order for Hilton to return to court after the city attorney filed a petition demanding that Hilton be returned to jail and to show cause why Baca shouldn't be held in contempt of court.

Baca does not have to be in court, and it was unclear who would represent the Sheriff's Department.

The move also was met with outrage from the sheriff's deputies union, members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, civil rights leaders, defense attorneys and others.

"What transpired here is outrageous," county Supervisor Don Knabe told The Associated Press, adding he received more than 400 angry e-mails and hundreds more phone calls from around the country.

Hilton's return home "gives the impression of ... celebrity justice being handed out," he said. (Watch Hilton enter jail Video)

Baca dismissed the criticism, saying the decision was made based on medical advice.

"It isn't wise to keep a person in jail with her problem over an extended period of time and let the problem get worse," Baca told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday.

"My message to those who don't like celebrities is that punishing celebrities more than the average American is not justice," Baca said.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown criticized the Sheriff's Department for letting Hilton out of jail, saying he believed she should serve out her sentence.

"It does hold up the system to ridicule when the powerful and the famous get special treatment," Brown told The Associated Press in an interview before testifying at a congressional hearing in Washington.

"I'm sure there's a lot of people who've seen their family members go to jail and have various ailments, physical and psychological, that didn't get them released," he said. "I'd say it's time for a course correction."

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.

In the hours after Hilton's release, it was a madcap scene outside her house in the hills above the Sunset Strip. As word spread that Hilton was back home, radio helicopter pilots who normally report on traffic conditions were dispatched to hover over her house and describe it to morning commuters. Paparazzi photographers on the ground quickly assembled outside its gates.

Shortly before noon, Hilton issued a statement through her attorney.

"I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally," she said. "I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes."

Hilton's path to jail began September 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


Take that rich bitch :D

Paris Hilton going back to jail. America celebrates.

Fortyfive days? What fucking bullshit.

Fortyfive days? What fucking bullshit.

I'm told by the talking heads on CNN that this sentence is standard for someone who violates probation like she did.



And the people are going nuts! Photographers acting like animals trying to get shots of her!

I'm going to look into this legally, but until I get more facts than TV (which I've been going by), I'm going to argue this 45 day sentence is absolutly unjust.

well her being in jail sounds just to me, how long I guess can be questioned but her going back to where she belongs his absolutely correct.

I would just like to say this

why should paris hilton get of scot free just because she is a celebrity. other people do the same thing and just cause they dont spend thousands on getting a f****ing boob job and pretend to be a good singer but really makes a turkey want to go in a kitchen on thanksgiving shes that bad doesnt mean they should have to suffer more than her.

Paris, if you cant do the time dont do the crime
::p

I can agree with you on this.




Oh snap, Ann Coulter's going to comment?!

unjust in what way...

Too long?

Too Short?

Cruel and unusual punishment for the other prisioners?

Well, not quite, but still...

The only problem I have with the judgement is the legnth. It's too long; a month? Sure. Fortyfive days? No.

did you consider that it was longer because maybe it's for multiple offenses. the reckless driving + Probation violation?

Driving while intoxicated (1)
Driving while suspended (2)

How long do you think I'd be in jail for that?

You'll have a TG.
Driving while intoxicated (1)
Driving while suspended (2)

Driving while suspended is no where near as bad as a DUI. There's probably a lesser chance of danger.

You should serve 30 days, no more, no less.



Holy shit, I'm in agreement with Ann Coulter.

Driving while intoxicated (1)

Doesn't the fact that she was in violation of her probation increase the sentence?

Holy shit, I'm in agreement with Ann Coulter.take deep breaths ruffy... don't panic... it's a rare thing but it has happened... calm down.... :p


normally, but I believe with both acts... the sentence would be increased to reflect both counts.

Now now!

I see it, she's just as stupid as Geraldo on this. :p

Prisons often use up time on 1 week sentences...

AFAIK, her original sentence was 45 days, and she could get out in 23 if she had good behavior (which everyone was expecting).

But she fucked things over. We dont know exactly what happened, but the way she is behaving is far from "good" behavior, which makes me think she deserves to stay indoors 45 days, her full sentence.

Also, unless she has been highly abused, sexualy or otherwise, she is behaving luck a fucking animal that cant adapt the least to her enviroment. Hell, she is acting worst than a dog. Funny that she has lived among wealth and power her entire life and is more psychologicaly imature than 95% of the people out there. Call that irony.

And what, she is suposed to be like 27 or something. I´ve seen kids more mature than her.

Why? I know someone who spent 6 months in jail for getting a DUI and then repeatedly driving on a suspended license. To me, 45 days seems like nothing.

Note: One difference is that he had multiple DUI's, so maybe she could get 1/5 of the time he had. Of course, he was supposed to serve a year...

And what, she is suposed to be like 27 or something. I´ve seen kids more mature than her.

Maybe she should go to juvy instead.

Maybe she should go to juvy instead.

Dunno, teenagers can be pretty hardcore. Sometimes even more than adults lol :D

I think Paris would be more endangered between teenagers than around adults. That is how lame she is.

Oh Paris.... You silly, spoiled, whiny little moron.


A haiku....


Just three weeks in jail
But now, Paris must serve six
What a stupid twit


And another, in dedication to her pending time in the hole. (Hmmmm.... not sure I should have worded it quite like that.)


No fruit for Paris
No cupcakes for her as well
Now she must eat SPAM

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."

Hilton screamed.

Eight deputies immediately ordered all spectators out of the courtroom. Hilton's mother, Kathy, 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.
Oh for fucks sake. It's 45 fucking days. She's a goddamn heiress, it's not like she's going to be evicted and lose her fucking job as a 'celebrity.' It's not like she was driving because that's the only option she had to go to the job she needs to make ends meet. Being 'above the common folk' and consequences for your actions is not a medical condition.

Welcome to Earth with the rest of us, 'your highness.'

Apparently she thinks if you don't like jail you shouldn't have to be there. Too bad she nearly got out for that reason. Why can't anyone else? I bet they don't like jail either. :(
