Paris Hilton: Sentenced to Jail

Paris Hilton: Sentenced To Jail

Paris Hilton was sentenced to jail for 45 days. She could have gotten 90 days. Paris Hilton has until June 5, 2007 to report. She will not be receiving any work release time.

Cathy Hilton, Paris Hilton's mother, was outraged that her daughter was sentenced to jail. She said it was a waste of tax payer's money. Her Attorney said that, he was shocked and disappointed. The sentence was uncalled for.

Paris Hilton was on probation for an alcoholic related conviction, this was the second time that Ms. Hilton was stopped for driving with a suspended license. She was also driving recklessly. Hilton said she didn't know that she could not drive with a suspended license. Does she know what suspended means? It's very clear cut. It's very simple, if your license is suspended, you can't drive.

Some made the statement that Ms. Hilton was singled out because of who she is. Paris Hilton was not singled out. She was stopped twice for driving with a suspended license. The last time Ms. Hilton was stopped, she was speeding with her head lights turned off.

She was given so many chances, she chose to ignore them. She didn't follow any of the court's orders when she was given probation. She didn't go to a 12 hours substance abuse course. She didn't do her community services. She didn't stay from behind the wheels.

Nobody is waiting for Paris Hilton to go to Jail. No matter who you are, you should not drive and drink. You should not be driving recklessly with a suspended license.

I was so shocked at the statements made by Paris Hilton's mother and her attorney. That is not the message we want to send to other young drivers out there. We don't want young drivers to think its okay to drive with a suspended license. We don't want them to think that it's okay to drink and drive.
