Paris Hilton is released from L.A. jail
2007-06-07
Meanwhile, back in one of the Two Americas...
LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton was released from a Los Angeles County jail early Thursday because of an unspecified medical problem and will fulfill the remainder of her sentence in home confinement, a sheriff's spokesman said.
Hmmmmmm..."unspecified medical condition"? Allergic to jail maybe? Broomstickitis?
She was depressed. She was in jail, after all.
The 26-year-old hotel heiress was sent home shortly after 2 a.m. fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet. She had spent five days at the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Los Angeles for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
First there was "Each Dawn I Die", then "Papillion". Now, "Five Days in the Hole: The Paris Hilton Story". Starring Lindsay Lohan as Paris Hilton. With Rosie O'Donnell as Knuckles
"I can't specifically talk about the medical situation other than to say that, yes, it played a part in this," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
I wonder if a judge is out pricing Maseratis today?
Hilton had been sentenced to 45 days behind bars, but had been expected to serve 23 days because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.Whitmore said that under the new agreement, Hilton would be confined to her home for 40 days. "Because she has agreed to this through her attorney, her sentence is now back up to the 45 days. She has served already five days so that's 40 days," he explained.
You mean she has to live on...take out! Oooooh, the humanity!
After she checked in Sunday, Whitmore said Hilton's demeanor was helpful."She was focused; she was cooperative," he said.
If you want to get along in here, do what Knuckles says, rich girl!
Hilton's lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, said Monday after his client's first night in jail that she was doing well under the circumstances."She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," Hutton said after visiting Hilton.
Oh, this will do wonders for that, counselor...

#4  I've already heard talk of people wanting to bid on Ebay for the ankle bracelet. Maybe that'll make up for some of the...ah...expenses involved in her release.

#1  I knew it, I f*ckin knew it!
I'm surprised they got 3 days (which they are calling 5) out of her. I fully expected they would bring in a "doctor" to proclaim some great medical emergency to get her out.
