Awesome news guys. I don't watch much TV news, but am looking forward to seeing her sobbing on the was back to jail. :thumbsup:
Until I heard she was released yesterday, I didn't. I'm glad to see a judge in CA finally upholds the law. I'd like to see that shitbag sheriff Baca get his ass kicked by the judge as well.WGAF :noemotion
They are elected in Arizona. And ethical problems and improprieties are probably as bad here, if not worse, than anywhere else.An interesting aside to this, should Sheriffs be elected?
Does it open the door to the same kinds of ethical problems and impropriety that other elected positions hold?
Or is it better for the Sheriff to be directly accountable to the community through elections?
Didn't mean to derail this, but it's something that came up at work.
Baca also charged that Hilton received a more severe sentence than the usual penalty for such a crime, but said he would not try to overrule Sauer's decision again.
"The criminal justice system should not create a football out of Ms. Hilton's status," the sheriff said grimly at a press conference.
They are elected in Florida as well.An interesting aside to this, should Sheriffs be elected?

Funny you should mention that since I've been laughing my ass off since seeing this photo on MSN yesterday... :hystericaThe picture of her crying are pretty darn funny. Sure made me smile.
EXACTLY!what exactly was the crime she of which she was convicted and thus sentenced to spend 45 days in jail for? i though it was a probation violation.
so..... violent criminals / drug offenders who violate their probation shouldn't have to spend 1 1/2 more months in jail either, right mr sherriff?
i could go on and on about this - since when does the sherriff's dept decide upon sentencing and overrule the court; the whole story is getting blown out of porportion just because she is a celeberity (that's a whole seperate rant....); why should she recieve any special treatment that the average person wouldn't (she was already in a special unit, that alone is more than the regular joe would get).....
if a county sherriff can't be entrusted to uphold the orders of a court, then he needs to have his gun and badge taken away imediately, and perhaps even spend some time in jail himself.
what if one of his friends/family members was given this sentence. would he break the rules then too?
Exactly. She lost her license + was on probation for 1 year due to a DUI in September. Since then she was stopped twice for driving on a suspended license. If nothing else she went to jail for being a stupid cow that thinks she can do anything she wants.what exactly was the crime she of which she was convicted and thus sentenced to spend 45 days in jail for? i though it was a probation violation.
Exactly. Same thing applies to Billy JoelIf she had half a brain she would have just had a chauffeur drive her everywhere.
