Celebrity Justice
Judge to Sheriff -- I Was Sandbagged

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."

51. She's so going to jail. They wouldn't have taken her into custody in handcuffs if the judge wasn't planning on it. Woooot!

52. Sheriff is in trouble! By letting Paris go home, he's pretty much saying he doesn't really think drinking and driving and ignoring probation is a serious crime. And that's a pretty terrible message to send. Drinking and driving should not be taken lightly. It is not just a traffic violation. It kills people every day. If she had killed someone and got sentenced to years in prison, would he have sent her home after a few days. Sure hope not!

54. The sheriff is taking the law into his own hands.

55. It is quite obvious that the Hiltons paid the Sheriff off, Ive been saying it all along, who did he think he was making the decision to release her all on his own? There are laws and rules he needed to abide by and he totally disregarded them. I certainly hope that they do fire him.

56. Throw the sheriff in jail. He pissed on the judge, which anyone in the legal system knows you 'don't' do.

59. what a bitch! send her to JAIL. Anyone ever had a DUI? If I had known all I had to do was throw a tantrum..

Oh, wait, I don't have breasts...

60. Gee I hope the check Paris wrote to the Sheriff clears before he gets fired. Or if he was smart enough he took her bribe in cash. I think this is a great lesson for any child, rich or poor, to see that no matter who you are, there will always be a price to pay for all actions.

I pray that Paris learns her lesson. I would hate to see someone get hurt because of her careless actions.
