news flash: Paris Hilton is not appealing

Paris in Prison 

But we knew that anyway. The ass goiter has always bothered me, personally. CNN agrees: Paris Hilton is un-appealing.

Paris Hilton won’t appeal the 45-day jail term she was sentenced to earlier this month for violating probation, according to court documents filed Thursday.

A lawyer for the 26-year-old socialite notified Los Angeles Count Superior Court that she is abandoning her appeal, said court spokeswoman Katherine Roberts.

Hilton was ordered earlier this month to report to jail by June 5 for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Hilton initially called the sentence unfair, and lawyers representing her filed a notice to appeal the sentence.

She then switched attorneys and is now represented by drunken driving specialist Richard Hutton. Hutton did not immediately return several calls for comment Thursday.

Hilton will be jailed for about 23 days of a 45-day sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities decided after reviewing her case.

The shorter sentence reflects an expectation that Hilton behaves behind bars.

Oh, how little they know of her reputation!

She will be held in a “special needs housing unit” at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Whitmore said.

And, presumably, she will be chauffeured there on a shortbus.

  1. Yep, she should be tossed in with the rest. I know we have segregation on the outside world, but we shouldn’t have a VIP section in prison. That’s why I oppose serving sentences in the home: because it unfairly penalizes those who live in sub-standard conditions. It maintains the inequality. If all the homes went into a pool and were assigned by lottery, THAT would make home custody fair.

  2. Remember–this is the nation that recently introduced prison upgrades, and has a classic problem with getting rich people an adequate supply of justice.

    Why should Paris be treated any differently from other multimillionaires?

    We are all wearing the bloody glove now …

  3. I’m not surprised at all … though getting preferencial jail time in some LA suburban bungalow is going to do what, exactly?

    It’s always been a joke sentence.

    No obscenely rich lawbreakers ever end up with the lower class types, we all know that.

    Would it actually be a ‘good’ thing if she got tossed in with “icky fat lesbians”? What would this prove, exactly?

    I think the woman is a total asshole myself, but crying out for ‘justice’ as in – let her get raped, make her suffer for being a vain and selfish rich bitch – sounds like an entire chorus of assholes to me.

    Sorry, but two wrongs don’t make a right.

  4. It wouldn’t prove anything except that Justice is blind, which is one of the founding principles of the Justice system in most of Canada and the United States: that it treats all people before it equally, not giving preferential treatment to anyone because of rank.

    That the general prison population lives in unsafe, unjust conditions is another issue entirely. Rape is, actually, NOT that common in women’s prisons, even in the US, and Lynwood, while no country club, is no rathole either.

  5. That doesn’t excuse the system from the responsibility to live up to its ideals. If enough rich, pampered people are headed to jails, that might actually provide an impetus to change them: Mike Davis has written some VERY interesting things about the socioeconomics of the US prison system in his books.
