Paris Hilton gets 45 days in jail

[GazeboflossUK]

I wouldn't normally care about Paris Hilton stories and other "celebrity" non-sense - But I really want her to serve the time out of pure principle....money does not mean you are above the law!! Well, it shouldn't.

06.08.2007 WHY WAS PARIS ORIGINALLY RELEASED EARLY?

 

 

Yesterday Sheriff Lee Baca released Paris Hilton from jail after just three days into what was originally a 45 day sentence. And it wasn’t because of overcrowding or good behavior. In fact it didn’t seem to be for any good reason at all. So why would he do that? Radar says:

Sheriff Lee Baca accepted a $1,000 campaign donation last year from William Barron Hilton—Paris's grandfather. That contribution constituted the maximum amount allowable under California campaign rules.

 

In office since 1998, Baca has cultivated close ties to the

Hollywood

community. Others who donated money to his campaign last year included Rupert Murdoch, Les Moonves, Ron Meyer, Brad Grey, Steven Segal, and Burt Bacharach. He was assailed last year over a claim by the Sheriff's Department that

Mel Gibson

had been arrested without incident, when the star had actually spewed anti-Semitic statements after getting pulled over for drunk driving. It soon emerged that Gibson had taped a public service announcement for Baca's relief committee.

I guess the only one who knows for sure is Baca, and he's not talking. Maybe this laser beam will refresh your memory! (que dramatic adventure music...)

LOS ANGELES - A day after a tearful

 

 

 

Paris Hilton was ordered back to jail, the hotel heiress said she won't appeal her 45-day jail sentence and is "learning and growing" from her time behind bars.

Her change of heart came Saturday when she announced in a statement released by one of her attorneys that she won't fight her sentence after a brief stint under house arrest at her Hollywood Hills home.

"Today, I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision," Hilton said in the statement. "While I greatly appreciate the sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, I intend to serve my time at L.A. County Jail."

The celebutante was at a maximum-security detention center, where she was believed to be undergoing medical and psychiatric evaluations to determine the best jail to keep her in as she serves the rest of her sentence.

Hilton, in tears and screaming for her mother, was taken to the downtown Twin Towers facility Friday afternoon after Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her back to jail.

"Being in jail is by far the hardest thing I have ever done," she said in the statement. "During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to think and I believe that I am learning and growing from this experience."

Hilton added she was "shocked" by the attention her case has received and suggested the public and media focus on "more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq."

Her lawyers had sought to keep her out of jail on grounds that the 26-year-old was suffering an unspecified medical condition. Sauer suggested that could be taken care of at jail medical facilities.

Although authorities wouldn't discuss Hilton's condition, citing privacy laws, Sheriff Lee Baca indicated it was psychological.

He said she arrived at her original jail with a condition he hadn't been apprised of and that it immediately began to deteriorate to the point that he feared for her safety.

Sheriff's officials expect Hilton to be at Twin Towers at least through Sunday.

Which jail the heiress will end up at depends on the results of her assessment by the facility's doctors.

Sauer sentenced Hilton to 45 days in jail and said she could not serve it at home. When she was released she had served only three full days but was credited with five because she surrendered to authorities late Sunday night after attending the MTV Movie Awards and was released early Thursday morning. Before her release, she was fitted with an ankle bracelet and ordered not to leave her house until her sentence was up.

Hilton was expected to serve only 23 days because of a state law that requires shorter sentences for good behavior. She was credited with both her time served in jail and at home, so by Saturday she had completed seven days of her sentence. With time off for good behavior, she could be released in a little more than two weeks.

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.

Paris Hilton gives interview to journalist Barbara Walters from prison

 

Last updated at 16:16pm on 11th June 2007 Comments (17)

Jailed heiress Paris Hilton who criticised the media's blanket coverage of her courtroom drama, spoke to veteran news journalist Barbara Walters in a phone call from prison, it was revealed.

 

After releasing a statement in which she said she hoped "the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq" the socialite spoke to ABC news journalist Walters about her "horrible experience" .

One-to-one: Paris Hilton spoke to veteran broadcaster Barbara Walters who is best known for her interview with Monica Lewinsky which broke ratings records

 

According to the ABC news website the jailhouse call came about because Paris' mother, Kathy Hilton, phoned Walters and during the conversation, Paris called on another line.

When her mother told her she was talking to Walters, Paris said she'd like to speak to Walters herself.

Walters then agreed to accept a collect call from Paris in jail. All prisoners are required to call collect. Hilton told Walters her first few days in jail before she was released were "a horrible experience."

She said: "I was not eating or sleeping. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage," she said.

Asked how she is now she has been sent back, a seemingly contrite Paris said: "I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute.

She added: "Now, I would like to make a difference...God has given me this new chance."

A household name in the US, Walters is known for "personality journalism" and her "scoop" interviews, such as the Monica Lewinsky interview that won the highest ratings of any journalist interview.

Paris is said to be refusing to eat or drink, as she fears prison staffers trying to make money will take a mobile phone picture of her on the toilet.

 

She is under observation in the medical ward at Los Angeles's Twin Towers jail, and her small cell is in full view of jail officials who are monitoring her around the clock.

 

A Hilton insider told the New York Daily News: "She was absolutely terrified that one of the guards or staffers would get her with the cell-phone cam and it would wind up on the Internet."

 

 

"She didn't eat or drink a single thing for three days because she didn't want to use the toilet. She was in real danger."

After visiting her sister, Nicky said the heiress is 'being strong'

 

 

The heiress was comforted by her sister Nicky Hilton and her sometime boyfriend Stavros Niarchos, who visited the Twin Towers detention centre over the weekend.

"She's being strong," Nicky said as she walked out of the jail.

Paris' sister Nicky Hilton and her sometime boyfriend Stavros Niachros tried to boost the heiress' spirits

 

 

She is allowed visitors only two days a week, yet her parents, Kathy and Rick, were yesterday seen going to church instead - perhaps to pray for their wayward daughter.

 

 

Mrs Hilton said they would not visit as Nicky was there and there was only a 30-minute slot.

 

 

Fellow visitors complained that Nicky and Stavros received special treatment by guards and were allowed to jump the two hour long queue

 

Hilton announced that she had told her lawyers not to appeal against her return to prison and instead vowed to serve her time although it was "by far the hardest thing I have ever done".

 

 

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Hilton's billionaire grandfather donated money last year to the sheriff who released the 26-year-old heiress from jail.

 

 

William Barron Hilton, 78, co-chairman of the Hilton Hotel chain, made a contribution of around £500 to Sheriff Lee Baca’s re-election campaign - the maximum allowed by law - according to financial records.

 

 

Was it right to send Paris back to jail? Join the debate in readers' comments below...

 

 

The friend said: "A member of her family has been a contributor to Baca’s campaign and this may have been payback time.

"Her entourage initially were confident she would be out of jail in a few days."

Sheriff Baca has faced heavy criticism for attempting to overrule the judge in the case.

 

 

His spokesman Steve Whitmore reacted angrily when The Mail on Sunday if Paris received special treatment because of the contribution, snapping, "Absolutely not."

 

 

Hilton left jail on Thursday, having served just three days of her sentence for flouting a drink-driving ban.

 

 

She was originally told she would spend 45 days in jail with no prospect of early release, although the term was later cut in half for good behaviour.

 

 

But when the outraged judge heard Hilton had been released to serve the remainder of the term at her luxury home, he ordered her to be sent back to jail.

 

 

He also said she must serve the full 45-day sentence.

 

 

Sheriff Baca has been accused of favouritism towards the Hollywood elite in the past.

 

 

Celebrities including Sylvester Stallone and Dustin Hoffman have backed his election campaigns since 1998.

 

 

Last summer, Sheriff Baca was at the centre of a row when he failed to report Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic tirade after he was arrested for drink-driving.

 

 

Gibson had filmed TV adverts for one of Sheriff Baca's pet causes - an education fund for policemen’s children.

Hilton's early release has led Baca's own employees to criticise him.

 

 

Steve Remige, president of the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, which represents 9,000 deputies, said: "Outward appearances seem to be that the sheriff does lean toward favouritism of the rich and famous."

 

 

Baca, 65, insists he released Hilton because she was suffering from a worsening medical problem.

 

 

He said: "My biggest concern was basically her deterioration."

LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton is feeling thankful. The 26-year-old heiress, who is set to be released from jail soon, told Ryan Seacrest of E! News that her "gratitude has gone up so much" since she's been behind bars.

Hilton has been in custody since June 3. She is housed in the special-needs unit of the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, a suburb of Los Angeles.

She called Seacrest Thursday to talk about how the experience has changed her.

"I'm much more grateful for everything that I have, even just to have a pillow at night or food," she said.

Serving time has been tough, she said, and visits with her family have been emotional.

"I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won't even let me do that," she said. "I'm not a criminal, I'm not dangerous. ... It's hard but I'm stronger every day."

The star of TV's "The Simple Life" also weighed in on her status as a tabloid darling.

"I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it," she said, adding that she is "frankly sick of it" and that she wants to "use my fame in a good way."

The interview is scheduled to air on E! News on Thursday and Friday.

TV presenter screws up and sets fire to Paris Hilton story live on air

 

Last updated at 10:24am on 29th June 2007 Comments (20)

A US television news presenter refused to lead her bulletin with the latest Paris Hilton story, then screwed up, shredded and attempted to set fire to the script on air.

Mika Brzezinski, co-presenter of MSNBC's Morning Joe programme, refused to read out the story of the celebrity socialite's release from jail ahead of items on Iraq and developments at the White House.

 

A clip showing the presenter's stand has been viewed more than 250,000 times on the popular video website YouTube.

Mika Brzezinski attempted to set the Paris story alight in a show of disgust at it being the top news story

It shows Ms Brzezinski repeatedly refusing to read the Hilton script and arguing with her co-presenters about its place as the lead item.

 

She told viewers: "I hate it and I don't think it should be our lead.

 

"I just don't believe in covering that story, at least not as the lead story on the newscast, when we have a day like today."

 

Ms Brzezinski, whose father is Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security adviser under Jimmy Carter, first screwed up the script and refused to read it.

The enraged newsreader ripped the story to shreds

 

Then, on the next bulletin, she refused to read it again, took a co-presenter's cigarette lighter, and tried to burn the script.

 

Later, she refused to read the script for a third time and took it straight to the shredder in the studio, where she fed it into the machine.

 

When producers played images of Hilton leaving jail, where she served her sentence for a probation violation after her drink-driving conviction, Ms Brzezinski was shown with her head in her hands as the cameras returned to the studio.

 

The YouTube video attracted hundreds of comments on the website.

 

"Mika, you're the best!!!" wrote one viewer, and another said: "Someone should give her a medal."

Brzezinski screwed the report up into a small ball - but the Paris broadcast went ahead anyway

 

Another said: "This lady has some serious balls and some serious morals. People like her make me proud to be an American."

However, others have questioned whether the entire incident was scripted.

 

Hilton, 26, told CNN's Larry King Live show early yesterday that she wanted to help her fellow inmates, do more work for charities, and said that partying would no longer be the "mainstay" of her life.
