Celebrity Justice
Paris Won't Appeal

Paris HiltonParis Hilton has issued the following statement:

"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.

As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

2101. Being someone who agreed with the sentence, I do hope she has learned something from this ordeal and when released, works on becoming the responsible adult she should be.

Only time will tell how long any lessons she may learn from this, lasts.

2102. Bottom line: she did not humble herself in front of the jude, she had a very arrogont attitude, and acted like she could care less. Judges don't like that and that is why she got a longer sentance than someone else who did the same thing!

2103. Paris, my heart grief for you. I know we all make mistakes and their are consequences for our actions. I am very proud that you decided to stay and not appeal. This will set an example for teenagers and young adults who drink and drive. I am saddened that you have to be the example. I hope that you will follow up and participate in MADD, but don't forget to take care of yourself. Sometimes we need a wake up call when we are too busy to stop. I am sorry that your wake up call is causing you so much pain.
Please don't do too much because it will be overwhelming. I hope that you might be able to speak with foster kids about your experiences, they need to know that life is about rewards and consequences. Good Luck and I hope that the Lord will guide you with in his plan for your life. Stay strong and remember that which does not kills us makes us stronger.

2108. Yep, that's what someone would say that is taking advantage of the system, it would be nice to serve out a sentence in a mental word then inside a cold, dark cell! that bitch needs to stay in jail longer, not in a mental word!
