Judge to Sheriff -- I Was Sandbagged

Posted Jun 8th 2007 2:50PM by TMZ Staff

Here's what's going down in court right now:
Judge Michael Sauer, Sheriff Lee Baca, Paris Hilton
Judge Michael Sauer said that before Paris was released, he was contacted by the Sheriff and told they would file a motion to place Paris under house arrest. The judge said the motion was never filed, and added, "There's no way I would have approved it even if I got the motion."

The prosecutor, Dan Jeffries, who is also pissed at the Sheriff, accused the Sheriff of "assuming all three roles of the criminal justice system," claiming "Sheriff Lee Baca is interpreting the law all by himself."

16. oh please. she is not a victim. she made the choice to drive drunk and then drive on a suspended license and then.....oh, what's the point of listing all of them again? some innocent person could've been a REAL victim here. let's do our best to prevent that from happening, shall we? even if it means a princess has to cry a little bit.

23. Nothing like the truth coming out now. Hope that "contribution" from the Hilton family was worth it Mr. Sheriff.

24. The Sheriff has no right to do what he did. Paris is a B****. She needs to get what she deserves! I am happy that the City of L.A. is trying to put her ass back behind bars!

29. The sheriff is a scientologist who caters to celebrities. Thank God (not Xenu, mind you), he has been exposed.
