Paris Hilton walks …
p2pnet.net OT news:- Millionairess Paris Hilton has passed Go, after all. But it may not be for long.
Hours after being supposedly incarcerated for three weeks in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Los Angeles, for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case, she was out again, thanks to an undefined “medical condition”.
She went home under house arrest but, “the judge who put her in jail for violating her reckless-driving probation ordered her into court to determine whether she should be put back behind bars,” says Associated Press.
She was slated to be back in court at 9 am today, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said, according to the story.
Hilton was turned loose wearing a remote monitoring device.
The decision to release her was made by the sheriff’s department and, “I can’t specifically talk about the medical situation other than to say that, yes, it played a part in this,” AP quotes spokesman Steve Whitmore as saying.
However, “It is the city (prosecutor’s) position that the decision whether or not Ms Hilton should be released early and placed on electronic monitoring should be made by Judge (Michael) Sauer, and not the Sheriff’s Department,” says Jeffrey Isaacs, chief of the city attorney’s criminal branch, said in a statement, states The Telegraph.
According to another AP story, Hilton’s lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, said Hilton’s first night in jail, “She’s using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people.”

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

Pathetic. How could anyone truly have faith in a justice system which treats criminals differently depending on social class / status.
They may as well have let her off. What a waste of time and resources. Can you imagine them letting anyone else out ? No i didn’t think so.

THE BITCH GOES BACK TO THE SLAMMER.
IT SERVES THE SLUT RIGHT !!
Wailing Paris Hilton ordered back to jail
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A sobbing Paris Hilton was sent back to jail on Friday as a judge overturned a sheriff department’s decision to place the heiress under house arrest after just three days behind bars.
The slender 26-year-old celebrity trembled and cried quietly throughout the hearing and then broke into loud sobs when the judge ordered her back behind bars. “Mom, Mom. It’s not right,” she shrieked as she was led out of the courtroom. Her mother, Kathy Hilton, sobbed.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer ordered Hilton to complete her 45-day sentence in jail rather than at home, marking a stunning turn of fortune for the multimillionaire socialite who has become a symbol of the excess of America’s celebrity culture.

But it remained unclear how long the star of the television reality show “The Simple Life” would spend in jail since she will be given time off for good behavior.
Sheriff Lee Baca, who runs the county detention facilities, let Hilton out of jail on Thursday for unspecified medical reasons and ordered her confined to her lavish house in Hollywood Hills with an electronic monitoring device attached to her ankle.
At that point she had served just three full days of what was expected to be a 23-day stint in jail. She had been on probation for reckless driving when she was caught driving her Bentley with a suspended license.
The hearing was delayed two hours because of confusion over whether Hilton would testify by video from her Hollywood Hills home, or in person.
Finally, she was handcuffed and placed weeping into a sheriff’s car for the trip to court and later driven back to jail, trailed by news helicopters.
