Paris if a free woman again...

I'd be willing to let her do her time at home if we never have to hear about her again. And she can take Brittney, Lindsey, Nicole, and Rosie with her.

excellent idea!

to be honest, i think a lot of folks who are sentenced to jail should do it elsewhere, or community service, etc. save the space for those who are a danger--altho, a drunk driver IS a danger.

dui offenders should have to volunteer in the emergency room, mopping the floors after victims of dui's come in.

Or work in the morgue.

I agree with that...keep in mind though that her original offense was DUI, her PV was due to two counts of driving with a suspended license...just a point of clarity, still a violation but not like a second DUI (which would have merited a much harsher sentence imo).

The thing that bothers me is that the judge imposed the full sentence on Paris,when it was the Sherriff who changed her housing arrangement. And it was the Judges' assistant who told the media of the "telephonic hearing". That just put another burr under the Judges' saddle!

well, certainly she merited harsher penalties, since having her license suspended certainly didn't seem a punishment, since she just ignored it!

Yes but....again and again!
According to attorneys and judges who practice criminal law in California, the usual penalty for this type of PV is extension of parole/probation or 3-6 days community service (wearing those ugly orange suits and cleaning up roadside or on the beaches etc.) 45 days was a very heavy hit, and I still haven't heard an explanation as to why aside from sending a message...and we've been down that road over and over!

is that the norm for one driving on suspended charge, or two? since it was two counts, (and wasn't it not too long ago that she went for the original charge? i'm not 'up' on paris) maybe he thought she was a real danger of being a repeat offender, or not taking it seriously, etc....
also, what was she pulled over for that led them to find she was on a suspended license?

Don't know but the charge is the charge! One or two it's still a PV...and that is the norm for a PV.
