Power and Influence in the Judicial System

Paris Hilton is sentenced to jail and you have her parents calling everyone, including the governator himself, Ah-nold, to try and get her out of her sentence. She served a whopping three weeks after she was snatched back up only because there was such an outrage and somebody got mad that she was released. I guess your grandaddy making a campaign contribution to the local police department doesn't buy as much leeway as it used to. Just read that Nicole Richie's ass has already checked into jail and checked out TODAY. She went in at 3:15 and got out at 4:37 TODAY. Supposedly this is standard procedure for people sentenced to less than 30 days. She was sentenced to a whopping 4 days. Lindsey Lohan reached a plea deal TODAY where she will have to spend a day in jail, 10 days of community service and a drug treatment program. She has been charged with drunk driving twice and cocaine was found in the car the second time. How are you issued SEVEN tickets for various crimes and you get sentenced to a day in jail? Mind you this is all in California. Don't know if the laws are different but the island of New York damn sure threw Foxy Brown in the penile yesterday and is making her stay there until her trial date in early September.
