Paris Hilton Sent Back To Jail Options

[voguelove]

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.

Lol....

(I don't think I have anything else to say besides that, really.)

[*steve330*]

Pwnd.

[SenorClean]

So, being a whore is no longer a medical condition in California. That was short.

[synthase]

hahahahahhaah REJOICE!
I ACTUALLY felt a little pity for her when I read "She cried and even put her hands in a prayer blah blah"

..



NOT

[loveylovely]

This is long, but worth reading.

She was taken handcuffed and crying from her home. She was escorted
into court disheveled, without makeup, hair askew and face red with tears. Crying out for her mother when she was ordered back to jail, Paris Hilton's cool, glamorous image evaporated Friday as she gave the impression of a little girl lost in a merciless legal system.

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

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was apparently unmoved by the pleas of Hilton's three lawyers to send her back to home confinement due to an unspecified medical condition. He ordered Hilton returned to a Los Angeles County jail to serve out the remainder of her 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The judge gave no explanation for 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 Hilton after three days in jail to finish her time in the luxury of her Hollywood Hills home.

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.

The sheriff later hinted at a news conference that Hilton had psychological problems, and said she would be watched in jail "so that there isn't anything that is harmfully done to herself by herself."

Following the hearing, 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 (although Hilton was in special unit and did not have a cellmate) and what he termed "severe medical problems."

He said he had learned from one of her doctors that she was not taking a certain medication while previously in custody, and that her "inexplicable deterioration" puzzled county psychiatrists.

Baca also charged that Hilton received a more severe sentence than the usual penalty for such a crime, but said 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 at a press conference.

After being taken to court in a black-and-white police car, paparazzi sprinting in pursuit and helicopters broadcasting live from above, Hilton entered the courtroom weeping and continued to cry throughout the hearing, which lasted more than an hour.

Her body shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to
her parents, seated behind her in the courtroom, and mouthed, "I love you." At one point, she made the sign of the cross and appeared to be praying.

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 participate from home by telephone. But the judge, who had not authorized that, angrily denounced a media outlet for spreading that rumor, although a court spokesman also gave that information to news media. 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. "At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home."

The hearing was requested by the city attorney's office, which had prosecuted Hilton and wanted Baca held in contempt for releasing Hilton despite Sauer's express order that she must serve her time in jail. The judge took no action on the contempt request.

A member of the county counsel's staff said Baca was willing to come to court with medical personnel. The judge did not take him up on the offer.

Assistant City Attorney Dan F. Jeffries argued that Hilton's incarceration was purely
up to the judge. "Her release after only three days erodes confidence in the judicial system," he said.

Hilton's twisted jailhouse saga 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 hamburger run.

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 while driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom.

Back before Sauer on Friday, Hilton's entire body trembled as the final pitch was made for her further incarceration. She clutched a ball of tissue and tears ran down
her face.

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.

[datass]

hahahahahahahaha.

[alysaphobia]

Eh sorry... but I don't feel very bad for her.
I think she should finally learn her lesson, or at least part of it, instead of getting money and fame to buy her out all the time.

[datass]

but shes paris hilton!

fuck that.

[*karmakiller*]

Isn't there a topic like this in the News forum?

Seriously, no one cares about Paris anymore. She should just suck it up and do her time and then she can get back to sluttin' around Hollywood.

[YourSuperior]

Good for her, she's no different from any other person that's incarcerated.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Stupid bitch. Just cus she's famous ( for absolutley no reason ) don't mean she can have special privileges. Watch her try to put out a rap album after this.

[*stephinika*]

^^
Haha, now that would be amusing.

But yeah, I heard this on the radio and actually laughed.

[*steve330*]

Haha found this:

Top 10 reasons she was REALLY crying

(10) Still inconsolable over February 2006 death of respected character actor Don Knotts

(9) Jail term likely to conflict with long-anticipated volunteer project at a home for disadvantaged children

(8) Horrified at the prospect of being forced to eat three complete meals a day

(7) Prison term likely to cast severe aspersions on acting career at worst possible time, with new sex tape due any minute now

(6) Will miss out on witnessing precious youthful days in Britney Spears' children's young lives, according to Ms. Spears' mother

(5) Suspects Lindsay Lohan liable to one-up her with a 90-day sentence

(4) Criminal conviction may, down the line, deny Hilton the chance to secure steady and respectable employment

(3) Knows, deep down, that she will never, ever, ever be able to pull this sort of pay-debt-to-society stunt off with half the grace and charm of Naomi Campbell

(2) Thinks Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger personally disappointed in her behavior, anticipating apocalyptic battle with android from the future

(1) Figured after watching the trial over Anna Nicole's final remains that somebody was supposed to cry at these things, and the judge wasn't holding up his end

[brownbyea]

I got them to my email. What are they? Anybody?:
Link Removed--Mercy

[Jeng]

[laxumaster8]

people are like "she should be treated like a regular person, not a celebrity"...yet the question is "is paris being treated regularly now that her reduced 23-day sentence was again replaced with her original 45-day sentence?"...i mean, now i think she is being treated like a celebrity [in a bad way]

[Jinny]

She deserved a slap to bring her back to reality.
