QUOTE Paris Hilton is back in jail. The heiress was taken from court screaming and crying on Friday after Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her to serve the remainder of her entire 45-day sentence behind bars. "It's not right!" Hilton, 26, said as deputies approached her in the courtroom. She also called out to her mother in the audience: "Mom!" Kathy Hilton, accompanied by Paris's father Rick, answered: "Honey!" Hilton's screams echoed in the courtroom's internal hallway as she was escorted out. As the courtroom began to clear, Kathy draped her arms around her husband, who tried to console her. Before the hearing began, Hilton entered the courtroom at 11:00 a.m. wearing a gray sweater, gray pinstripe slacks and looking disheveled with her hair in a messy ponytail. Hilton cried and trembled throughout the hearing. She also clasped her hands in prayer several times and turned to her parents seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed, "I love you." The judge's decision came after hearing arguments from both the L.A. City Attorney and Hilton's lawyers. Judge Sauer ruled that because the sheriff's department had not adequately submitted medical records supporting the reasons behind Hilton's transfer, she should be returned to jail. TMZ.com reports that Hilton's lawyer plans to appeal the ruling. In the meantime, Hilton was brought to the Twin Towers jail in downtown Los Angeles Friday afternoon. Court spokesman Alan Parachini said after the hearing that Judge Sauer hadn't bought the sheriff's "medical condition" rationale for sending Hilton home. "What he said was, on the record, that he'd seen no evidence, no documents to support the contention that there was a medical condition." Details of Hilton's alleged condition were not released in court. Parachini declined to describe the scene inside the courtroom, saying only: "It was pretty short and sweet." Earlier in the day, a sheriff's car picked Hilton up at her home and took her to court for the hearing. As a swarm of media watched, Hilton parted ways with her parents, and her mother told reporters: "It is what it is and it's in God's hands now." She added: "It's out of our hands. There's nothing we can do." Asked how her daughter was faring, Kathy said earlier, "She's doing the best she can." Hilton was seen being handcuffed before getting into a police cruiser and was photographed crying in the backseat. As the gates of the driveway opened, the scene was pandemonium, with the officers on their bullhorns and Hilton's fans screaming. Friday's proceeding was granted by Judge Sauer after the Los Angeles City Attorney requested an emergency hearing to demand that the Sheriff's Department put Hilton back in jail. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo had accused the department of disobeying the judge's original sentencing orders, which explicitly forbade electronic monitoring. Yet due to an undisclosed medical condition, Hilton was released from Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., early Thursday and reassigned to home detention after serving just three days of her minimum 23-day sentence. The heiress was fitted with an ankle bracelet and her original 45-day sentence was reinstated – since she'd enjoy the confines of her Hollywood Hills home instead of a 12-by-8-foot cell – with credit for five days served. Hilton's reassignment sparked outrage across the nation; the L.A. Board of Supervisors alone received more than 500 angry calls, e-mails and faxes by Thursday afternoon. At least two of the supervisors demanded an investigation. Sheriff Lee Baca, who ultimately approved Hilton's transfer, defended his decision, telling the Los Angeles Times that "the minute I was informed by the doctors about her medical condition, I realized the system was not able to respond effectively to these problems." He added that her three-day incarceration was more than what most people guilty of violating probation would receive. "We did what is best and what is justice," Baca added. and she even has to serve her original 45 day sentence. |
