Paris' Judge Reaches Verdict: Sayonara Suckers

Judge Michael T. Sauer retiresThe L.A. judge best known for throwing the book at Paris Hilton is finally giving his closing arguments, and not a moment too soon for one sublebrity DUI-er.

Just last week, Angie Everhart got a continuance in her DUI case, and by her new court date, Judge Michael Sauer probably will have traded his judicial robe for a bathrobe after 36 years on the job. He planned on serving for 45 years, but got out for good behavior -- i.e., throwing Paris in the slammer.

And Judge Sauer, Angie has something to say to you: You may step down now -- pleeeeze.

16. Cllearly the dude is sick of what our society has become. Kids, there's no fighting Celebrity™. These are the people that contribute heavily to the setting of today's legal precedents. The Constititution never saw this stuff coming. God save us all. Paris Rules, dude!

19. Piper, you clearly know nothing about what TMZ wrote. Judge Sauer is made fun of by his colleagues and the attorneys before him for giving inappropriately large sentences in order to appear tough on crime. It's all a show for personal gain, not him "doing his job." Judges have discretion, thus doing his job could include giving sentences that are in line with the crime committed. Also, Paris was not in front of him for a DUI, she was there for a probation violation. Get your facts straight.

20. I always thought it was a joke how little time Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie did (citing jail over-crowding as the reason for being released after 80 something minutes or whatever).

If it was any other person (non celebrity) they would have had to do the full time in jail.

This judge did his job. the other judges? gimme a break! Nicole Richie should have been in jail for some kind of DAYS for driving the wrong way on the freeway. That stupid act could have killed someone!

21. Que?! Please revise this story. It is so poorly written, it completely turned me off from reading the rest of the articles. Which isn't good... TMZ is my morning dose of wholesomeness.

22. An unfair judge now that you have had your 15 minutes goodbye.

23. Cheryl, #14: hope you have to face a judge just like this guy someday. and I hope he doubles the sentence because you don't know what the caps lock key is for.

24. I refuse to believe this is a MAN! do a chromosone check or check this B!TCHE'S hormone levels!

25. Good riddance to the S.O.B. The sheriff and a herd of lawyers are probably rejoicing too. Too bad Paris doesn't have a shot at him.

26. Sauer treated Hilton VERY fairly. You posters were not in the
courtroom. Hilton lied to the judge (no surprise there), and then
tried to weasel her way out of serving her sentence (no surprise
there, either). He was very just. So, you posters who claim, "we all
know it" don't know what you are talking about. Get the facts first.

27. Seriously TMZ staff-who wrote that piece of Junk?? I have no idea what you were trying to say. Sometimes you shouldn't try so hard to be witty and just transcribe the information.

28. I have to especially thank this man on the behalf on Danish relatives to soldiers in Iraq.

He did the one thing that convinced our parliament to bring the troops home. He sentenced this young lady while his office did not intervene against the corruption in the offices of the procecution, where the same crime were dont without penalties.

The Danish population wants to fight in the crusade you call "war on terrorism". That is why we started the cartoon crisis to strenghtend the morale in our population. But we also feel that families who have worked hard to earn a living should earn some kind of protection against the law. Earning a certain status in society should benefit your children.

It is part of our society where everything is measaured. Even the quality of teeth. Poor people can not afford dentists - not even to pull their teeth out, so their teeth rot.

In Denmark this case would not have gone so far. Most likely only for a little community service in a fancy place. But he did the unthinkable and showed us Danes that our cultures were too different that we could fight side-by-side in Iraq.

Thank you - Judge Sauer. You brought our relatives home. We will always remember you for that.
