Sheriff: Paris' Life Was "Definitely in Danger"

1. He's just trying to save his own neck.

3. has he got an explanation then as to why prisoners with aids, cancer, and other more life threatening issues are not granted the same consideration as Ms. Hilton? Im sure other people experience the same exact symptons he just mentioned and they are not released from their prison sentence. BS!!!!

4. I think celebs do deserve special treatment....They have to put up with camera's and fans in their face 24/7... why shouldn't they at least be granted a little leniency when it comes to the law??
She was only being released to house arrest - which BTW is probably punishment enough for a party girl like her - AFTER she put in her 3 days. That's what 90% of criminals usually do..... she was treated poorly by a Unich Judge who just wanted to hurt the poor little rich girl. I think she should do her time, but not MORE than other citizens.

5. The Sheriff's words describes almost everybody in jail - how they feel about being there.
Maybe they are smarter than Paris. Most people would tell the authorities they are on addictive medications before they are put into jail so they won't go into withdrawal. I am sure the medical staff is keeping track of other individuals that need the same kind of drugs, but were reluctant to trust Paris to the medical care that other prisoners were getting there. If the present medical treatment is good enough for the other prisoners, it should be good enough for a Hilton.

7. To #5 - Right on the money.

To #6 - Get a clue you moron. She knew what she was getting into. No one held a gun to her head and told her to become a celeb. That was her choice. No one is above the law, especially celebs.

8. Hope he got enough from her parents to retire with.
I suspect he'll be looking for a job come next election, there aren't enough celebs who actually vote in LA County to save his ass.

9. I hate to inform Baca of this, because he is supposed to be an authority, but peoples lives are constantly in jeopardy in jail. I dont wish bad or worse on Hilton. However it would be nice if everyone in jail got sheltered like Paris because their life was in danger. My friend has been in jail for two years now because of repeated DUIS. There was a huge fight between inmates in the jail not long ago, and no one sheltered him. he pretended to be asleep to escape incolvement in the fight. Paris got preferential treatment, plain and simple. THey even moved her to her own jail because of her celebrity staus. This sherriff is making excuses, and he watched over Paris becasue paris relative contributed to his campaign, Plain and simple.

10. To #6 - No one is above the law. Being a celebrity comes with certain responsibilities. Why anyone would view her as a role model I wouldn't know, but there are those who do and because of that, Ms Hilton should take responsibility for her actions. Would you have the same comments if she had killed someone while driving intoxicated? Some people like Ms. Hilton need a good kick in the *ss to smarten them up.

13. How the hell could paris life have been in jeapordy jail when she was given her own private cell from the beginning, becasue of her celebiity? Had this been the 'everyday" person we would have been thrown in with the rest of the lions in the den. i can agree that there are some people who may have wanted to harm her becasue of who she is. But she was secure from the start.
