Celebrity Justice
Paris Does Not Lack Appeal

Paris Hilton's lawyer has made it official -- Paris has filed a notice with the court, vowing to appeal her 45-day jail sentence.

The notice is a formality that lawyers are required to file before lodging the appeal. It does not give the grounds for the appeal, but Hilton's lawyers must essentially prove that the trial judge abused his discretion by imposing the sentence.

61. She just needs to "stupup" and "go way", and be a spoilt rotten 'trust fund' baby! She is never going to think she broke the law, because in her eyes she is above the Law! Why she didn't just hire someone to drive her, she was arrested by the cops, she know what they told her! And she knew after the second time that she wasn't suppose to drive! She has made fun of so many people in her own life, that it isn't even funny, and she is becoming the laughing stock of the US! There is no need to give her jail time, it isn't going to teach her anything , and she'll just be that much more popular for just being a "D Rated" Star! I wished she would just grow up and go away! She doesn't need to go to jail, the Media just needs to quit given her so much Hype and she would finally go away! Hopefully soon she'll be to old and not very many people will care! She has been a party girl since she was a very young girl, and she really doesn't need to go to jail for what she did! Alot of everyday/regular joe's have done just as bad if not worse, I know guys with 6/10 DUI's that have bought there way out and haven't spent but a night in jail, and I have known some that have killed people, went for about 9 months, laughed it off, and even with to AA and it still didn't bother them! Until she wants to grow up and live a grown up mature life she'll always been seen as a "train wreck" and we'll always be out their waiting for her to "fail", jail is not going to help her, in the end it will just help her with her career! If people would just ignore her, then she might decide to grow up, but tell then, we'll just be ready to laugh at her, and she'll laugh her way all the way to the "BANK"!

63. Will someone revoke Poster #65's internet privledges? Clearly hes a moron like Paris, or thinking with his "little head". You missed the point, if his congregation applauded him its BECAUSE he took a stand on the LAWS of CA. Stay in GA where you belong, this drunken bimbo may kill YOU or a friend or family member then you will be writing that the Judge didnt do his job. This fool was given THREE (3) PREVIOUS warnings out here by the entire police department who, buy her OWN claims wants to date her. The Hilton Family belongs in church, it can explain the EXACT meaning of "spare the rod & spoil the child"...Now its time to pay, like YOU would have to. Stop defending her, the laws are for everyone. EVERYONE.

64. Too bad Paris doesn't emulate Martha Stewart and forget the appeal and just go to jail NOW - like tomorrow. She does her MERE 45 DAYS and is out just in time to go to the beach.

It is too bad that community service wasn't imposed in addition to jail. She would be excellent at picking up trash from the freeway or - if she got lucky - the beach.

65. I agree that people who feel that Paris did nothing wrong should be forced to see stuff put out by MADD to see the results of drunk drivers. The cliche is absolutely right in this case . . . "Only the good die young." Ever wonder why drunk drivers live and never get a scratch, while their victims either die or suffer a horrible, crippling, permanent inury.

66. THE SMARTEST MOVE BY PARIS SO FAR IS FIRING HER PUBLICIST ELLIOT MINTZ.
ELLIOT MINTZ IS WORTHLESS AND GAVE PARIS HORRIBLE ADVICE THAT GOT HER SENTENCED TO JAIL TIME. HE WAS A LOSER FROM THE START AND IT'S TOO BAD PARIS DIDN'T SEE IT. PARIS, DO YOUR TIME THEN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR JAIL STAY AND MAKE ANOTHER 5 MILLION DOLLARS. YOU WILL HAVE MUCH STREET CRED AFTER YOUR JAIL STAY. YOU WON'T DO THE WHOLE 45 DAYS AND I'M SURE THEY WILL GIVE YOU PERKS IN JAIL.

67. Ohmighod. Can you imagine it? Forty-five days of no new photos of Spare-Us Hilton, forty-five days of not having to hear what bar she stumbled out of at two AM, and forty-five days of not having to worry if the spoiled little bitch is out on the streets of La-La land, over the legal limit and driving without a license.

Sounds like a freakin' holiday for all the rest of us "poor" folk. Is it too late to give her sixty days?

68. I HOPE ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPORTING PARIS....I SINCERELY HOPE....NO, I WISH, STRONGLY WISH THAT PARIS HILTON IS FOUND DRUNK BEHIND A CAR AGAIN, AND THAT SHE HURTS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THEIR FAMILY..........SPECIFICALLY, ONE FAMILY MEMBER FROM A SUPPORTER OF PARIS HILTON.

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO PERSONALIZE THIS....THEY REALLY DONT GET IT.....THEY REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOMAN COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE WHO HAS TO GO OUT EACH DAY AND MAKE A LIVING FOR THEIR FAMILY, TO PAY THE RENT AND PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE......THEY REALLY HAVE NO REGARD FOR OTHER LIFE AS LONG AS PARIS GETS TO DRIVE DRUNK AND NOBODY SHOULD DISTURB HER WHEN SHE DECIDES TO DRIVE DRUNK WITH HER LIGHTS OUT.

NO ONE SHOIULD BOTHER THE DDAI WHEN SHE'S DRUNK BEHIND A WHEEL GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY WITH HER CAR IN DARKNESS..........DO YOU KNOW HOW DUMB THAT SOUNDS?

69. PARIS IS SUCH A TRAMP AND HER MOTHER IS A LOW LIFE LOUD MOUTH .. HER FATHER AND MOTHER WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF THEIR DAUGHTER'S BODY AND CRIMES AND DRUNKS .. DISGUSTION UNION... NO WONDER SHE IS SUCH A PIG. SHE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE WHEN SHE'S DRUNK DRIVING ONE DAY ... AND THEN ...................... I AM PERSONALLY SICK OF HER. AND NEVER THOUGHT SHE WAS PRETTY ... Britney, Lohan and so many others are much prettier and Paris looks more like a mouse in that lower life crowd. I prefer class and role models who are exactly that.

70. What the hell is with the scribbly form? Secretary on vacation? You'd think for what she is paying those lawyers, they could use a newfangled computer or something.

71. 45 blissful days of NO PARIS HILTON!!!! I can't stand it. Is she for real about not knowing that anybody not just her emaciated body cannot drive on a suspended license. What? She's so stupid, she needs a recipe to make ice. Talk about a dumbass!!!

72. I'm so sick of seeing her frowning spoiled brat expression. She needs to give it up and just do the time.

73. Is ANYONE shocked by this? The BITCH will get off with yet another slap on the wrist. That she is actually blaming her publisist for giving her the wrong information is unreal. SHE signed a document that the POLICE provided her (when stopped for driving illegally) stating that SHE COULD NOT DRIVE! Does she not know how to read? Is she really THAT STUPID? Maybe it isn't an act and she truly is a MORON! I cannot stand that racist BITCH and hope to hell she doesn't get around this! Her parents should be ASHAMED of how their kids turned out!

74. Her mom complains about wasting taxpayers' money and yet they do this... She should get over it and take her punishment like an adult. Although this would be acting like an adult for the very first time. That family is a waste of air.

75. Paris needs to stop whining. This is ridiculous.
