Paris Drops Appeal

Posted May 17th 2007 2:01PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: Paris' lawyer has now officially filed a document with the court, abandoning her appeal of the sentence. Documents to follow shortly.

Courthouse sources tell TMZ that Paris Hilton has officially decided to drop her probation violation appeal.

We're told Hilton's lawyer had planned to file an appeal at 1:30 PM today in Judge Michael Sauer's courtroom. Sauer is the one who sentenced Hilton to 45 days in jail.

But we're told this morning, celeb attorney Richard Hutton had one of his peeps phone the court and say nevermind.

What's behind all this? Yesterday, Hutton met with Paris and informed her that the Sheriff has agreed to reduce the amount of time she'll have to serve to 23 days. The Sheriff has also agreed to put her in a celebrity cell, away from the general population.

Apparently, Paris feels her lawyer has gotten her the best break she can possibly get. So the intended appeal will not materialize and Paris will do the time.

17. she's widdled it down to three weeks and two days...with just one showing up on time and she gets her sentenced dropped to half for good behavior? Isn't this good behavior only to get what she wants? this is absolutely pathetic. I knew it would come to this and for the rest of us it never would. I'm finally with the rest of you on this one. What a bunch of crap and she's totally spineless and shallow and creepy.

18. Paris Hitler will not learn anything from this. Unfortunately what may happen is she gets drunk, high and/or stoned, driving a car; hit an innocent person and kill them. God forbid, that happens to any family (the victims). I hope they sue the s_h_i_t out of the Hiltons and take everything they have. OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO LISTEN THEN....HOWEVER, TOO LATE.

19. The only thing she will learn from this, if you whine enough you can still get preferential treatment. Money can buy anything. That little gal needs a strong dose of reality.

21. It is time for everyone to take a stand....BOYCOTT everything that is tied to the Hilton name in anyway!!!!!

22. I have nothing positive to say for this pathetic representation of wealth in this country that she and her family supposedly represent. All of you Hiltons just go away and get involved in some desperately needed phylanthropy. And for you Paris, go get yourself an education and do something with your life that society.

23. They reduced the sentence for good behavior, because she has learned her lesson!! She said, next time she does a sex video, she will let the guy, do all the driving!! Once again, please, get the good little girl, a cookie!!

24. Apparently, you can be as dumb as a box of rocks and drive drunk all you want -- endangering others -- if only you have a little cha-ching in daddy's pocket. Too bad for the rest of us 'targets.' JUDGE, YOU SUCK, IMHO.

26. oh please #10 - "She should do 45 days and nothing less" - What makes you an expert on the justice system? You go and lecture the judge - and then get the actual facts later. I'm sure he'll listen. You keep what god gave you. No one else wants the judgemental bitterness.

27. She deserves the full sentence ~

28. I will NEVER spend another cent on ANYTHING Hilton, as God is my witness.

29. She is a sorry excuse for a human being. To have so much wealth and just blow it on mindless, self indulgence. Wouldn't it be nice if she used her time and wealth to better this world in some way?

30. $$ talks. Face facts, us regular folks do the time cause we don't have the $$. She'll be flaunting around in a month or so, living the same pathetic life. Just remember, she'll get hers in due time.
