Medical reasons are sited: "For medical reasons, Paris Hilton will serve her sentence at home, according to a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"After serving just three days behind bars, Hilton was "reassigned" to home detention and was sent home with a electronic-monitoring device. In conjunction with her home detention, Hilton's sentence was re-set at 40 days."
I'm just sick of this whole thing (Yet, I keep blogging about it. What the hell is wrong with me?) I know it's "not a big deal" but in a way, it is. It just seems to be another sign of how unfair American justice is regarding race and class. Yes, what she did was more stupid than malicious, but I've seen poor minorities literally beaten by police for doing stupid things. People have been executed for stupid things. But because Paris is an hotel heiress, a celebrity, she gets coddled. I'm reminded of a scene from the movie John Q where Denzel tells his son to be a good and honest man, but then says, "But most importantly be rich. Wealth will solve most of your problems." In calling truth to power, he's right. Just ask OJ and just ask Paris.
I'm going to go and sell some drugs now. In Iceland.
