Paris Hilton's Prison Sentence Shortened

Paris Hilton broke the guidelines of her probation, was convicted, and sentenced to jail for a month a half, while the United States cheered. Many will be disappointed, however, as her sentence was cut in half on the grounds that she basically does not to murder anyone, commit grand larceny, or peddle drugs in prison.

May 4th will stand out in many American minds as a victory when Judge Michael T. Sauer sentenced socialite Paris Hilton to forty-five days in jail after she drove on a suspended license. It was finally an opportunity to show society that celebrities are not above the law. Yet, on May 16th, celebrity attorney and drunk driving specialist Richard Hutton met with Hilton to tell her that the Sheriff agreed to reduce the amount of time she will have to serve to twenty-three days, instead of the original forty-five. The shorter sentence comes with one rule: Hilton must behave behind bars.

Upon hearing the news of her shorter sentence on May 17th, Hilton called up the courts to cancel her scheduled appeal. While she called the original ruling unfair, Hutton made it clear to Paris that this is the best break she can possible get. With no appeal in sight, it does give the public some reassurance. Despite the fact that her sentence is only twenty-three days, Hilton will definitely do the time.
