Dear Judge Sauer:

Thank you for showing us that our criminal justice system, while flawed, is in fact a system where best efforts are made to ensure that ALL folks are treated equally.

By reincarcerating Ms. Hilton, you have demonstrated that money does not necessarily buy justice, nor does lack of same mean you arent going to get justice.

May I respectfully suggest you request an investigation of the Sheriff as to whether his actions in releasing Ms. Hilton were a result of criminal activity.


PS...I love it when she cried for her mommy.:D


Leaving that spoiled brat aside, do you think that in general and as a whole, the CJS treats folks equally?

Now that Baby Paris is crying from a real spanking, when and how will Baby Lee get his?

His pandering to the glitterati and moneyed is easily discernable and he ought to be ousted from office.

That said, Baby Paris should be punished for the crime, not for being Baby Paris. The sheriff should get kicked as well for his transparent attempt to ensure continuing invitations of A-list parties and campaign money.
 
I am so sick of this non-story I could :barf:

Where's that "Close Thread" button...

Danmit! It's actually related to legal issues.

I'll get you for this, Ken. :mad: ;)
 
I bet the judge is overuled at least for increasing her sentence. She got screwed, so to speak, by having to serve more time for no fault of her own. If there was anything like justice in this crazy world, they'd send her over to my place for a few weeks with her ankle monitor and maybe some fur handcuffs and lots of Mr Bubble. Rough on her perhaps but we all have duties as citizens and I got first dibs on thisn'.
:p

Sorry :D:p

But
As vomitorious as the young lady is (although I must admit a certain male admiration for her homemade film roles:rolleyes::p) I think she should be commended, even in her self centered inadvertance, for bringing certain things to the forefront about the CJS system for her primary admirerers, the YOUTH of America today, the MTV generation and so on, viz

Ya cant get away with all all the time, even if you have money.
Some judges just wont be screwed with.
The Law is the Law, not just what you think the law is or want the law to be, and
The guys in the black robes are what keeps us from ever going to the rooftops.

Id love to see who picks up on the last point..and tells me how I can ever contend that based on what happened to her.

Regardless:

The last lawyer to speak was a deputy city attorney, David Bozanich, who declared: "This is a simple case. There was a court. The Sheriff's Department chose to violate that order. There is no ambiguity."

the cliff notes...

Dont piss the guy off at the raised bench wearing the robes with a gavel in his hand who is called judge.
 
ooops

One other thing:

That said, Baby Paris should be punished for the crime, not for being Baby Paris.

She was. And like the rest of the whiners in the criminal justice world, her remedy was an appeal...not to the press but to a Court.

This country would have no problems at all if folks would sleep in the bed they made, instead of either stealing someone elses or getting someone to give em a new one.

Why wasn't the sheriff held in contempt?

gee al, ya think?:D

Back in the good old days back east, Sheriff pulls a stunt like that and publically embarrases the judge...and screw it the law itself ,one of those patronage judges (especially from the other party :D) would lay a writ on him faster than you can say writ of quo warranto or writ of mandamus (cant remember which one) and have the State Boys drag his power crazed ass right up to the bench

Cuz that is what this is all about.

An elected/appointed, governmental official who takes it upon him or herself to decide that what he or she wants to do and damn any statutory authority pro or con. Its not a question of defying an order. Its a question of saying "HEY, WHATEVER, I,M THE ONE WHO DECIDES"..

Sorry sport, you aren't. And the Court isnt going to let you.

And as a caveat folks, The Sherriff (which in an of itself is essentially a common law, power and patronage position) is like those o so correct little elected minds who decided to marry gay folk in contravention of laws forbidding gays to marry (stupid as those laws might be)...at least one of them even was facing criminal charges.

Ya cant have it both ways America :)

no no, the best part is:

Hilton's attorney, Richard Hutton, implored the judge to order a hearing in his chambers to hear testimony about Hilton's medical condition before making a decision. The judge did not respond to that suggestion.

The judge interrupted several times to say that he had received a call last Wednesday from an undersheriff informing him that Hilton had a medical condition and that he would submit papers to the judge to consider. He said the papers never arrived.

Every few minutes, the judge would interrupt proceedings, state the time on the clock, and note that the papers still had not arrived.

That is classic...
 
I believe the Judge would issue a Quo Warranto to the sheriff to show proof of the power to release a prisoner duly ordered to jail.

IIRC, it is one of the common law perogative writs, that may or may not still exist in a given US jurisdiction (i.e. depends upon state law).

Regardless, if I were that judge, my second action, after first returning the prisoner to jail, would have been to issue a bench warrant for contempt on the sheriff... 'Course, that would mean I'd have to live in L.A..... Nevermind! :eek:
 
The sheriff was on CNN or one of those channels and sounded like a reasonable guy. If he thought he had something to fear from that particular judge it's not likely he'd done what he did. The jail is his charge and he gets to run in a practical matter. If every prisoner served all the time judges gave em, they'd have to build ten more jails which tax payers wouldn't abide. Good job, sheriff.

Hey, right-wingers are supposed to hate judges. What gives?

The jail may be his charge, but sentencing is not. The judge was crystal clear in his order that the full sentence was to be served in the jail and not with a ankle bracelet served in the comfort of her Hollywood mansion.

Show me legislation that authorizes a sheriff to "interpret" a judges' sentence and release a prisoner as he sees fit. If this were the case a sheriff could release a murderer if they were his brother in law. The sheriffs' job is to carry out a judges order. The sheriffs' defense on this is that Paris was so depressed that she was not eating/drinking fluids and was dehydrating. If Paris was indeed so depressed that she chose not to eat or drink and dehydrated as a result, then she should have been taken to the medical ward of the prison or transported to the hospital -while still in cusotdy- and be fed with an IV; just as any other inmate. She should not have been released. Further, if she was admited to a phsyc ward, she should have remained there until being released by a doctor, even if that time was after her 45 day sentence. Just like any other inmate would have to be.



Somebody, explain the politics of L.A. to me... Why wasn't the sheriff held in contemp?

Exactly, he should be held in contempt.
