A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in L.A. County jail for violating her probation in a reckless driving case. Judge Michael T. Sauer handed down the harsh sentence, telling Paris she will not be allowed work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail. She must do the time!
An emotional Paris, with tears welling up in her eyes, told the judge moments before the decision "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Witnesses inside the courtroom say that Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, were both visibly upset as the sentence was handed down. Kathy, we're told, was especially distraught.
The judge called out her rep Elliot Mintz in court, describing his testimony as "completely worthless." He also told Paris that he did not believe that she was unaware of her license suspension, adding that she had paperwork in her car stating that her license was suspended.
Shortly after the punishment was handed out, defense attorney Howard Weitzman said he would appeal. "I'm shocked, I'm surprised and really disheartened in the system that I've worked in for close to 40 years," Weitzman said, adding that the sentence was "uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous. I think she's singled out because of who she is."
Paris will serve her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF). She will begin her sentence on June 5. If Hilton fails to report on the scheduled date, her sentence will be doubled.
Damn....that IS harsh. If all my friends were jailed for what she did then I sould have no friends left! Seriously....one margarita and she's put away for a month and a half? I feel bad for her!

I'm with you on this one ... The penalty is far too harsh ...
And I've been on both sides of the prison cells (as a cop and a 'crim') ...
There's better ways of punishing traffic violations ...
Believe me, unless you are a 'hard-core crim' or have the ability to block everything out, you do not want to go to jail ...

Plus I suggest to all those people who don't see anything wrong with drink driving, try being first on scene to fatal RTA's where drink was the cause, clearing up that mess before visiting and breaking the news to that persons parents
