City Attorney Blasts Paris' 'Reassignment' - cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system
City Attorney Blasts Paris' 'Reassignment'
Report: Hilton's Medical Issue Mental, Not Physical

The Los Angeles city attorney released a terse statement regarding the reassignment from jail to home monitoring Thursday morning, according to TMZ.com.

In the statement released to TMZ, Rocky Delgadillo said that he was "extremely troubled to learn that the Sheriff's Department has decided to release Ms. Hilton from custody just three days after she was admitted to county jail."

Delgadillo said in the statement that the office was not advised of the action and learned of the news of her reassignment" through news reports, just like everyone else."

....

"The explanantion is puzzling," Delgadillo said in the statment to TMZ. "Los Angeles county jail medical facilities are well-equipped to deal with medical situations involving inmates."

Delgadillo said in the statement that the "judicial process may have been circumvented" in what is considered a probation case and that "only the judge has the power to modify the these conditions of the probation."

Delgadillo said that he has directed his criminal branch to explore legal options and that "we cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment," TMZ reported.

1. Our legal system is a joke
It is distinctly different for the "haves" and the "have nots". It sucks that I am considered a "have-not".

2. Delgadillo is right. I said that on another post. If she was sick,
all the jails have medical facilities that can handle it. If she is sick because she couldn't eat jail food, IV's work just fine!

6. LIke I said, IV's work quite well! Hospitals use them all the time!
If you're trying to convince me that she couldn't eat because she's anorexic or some other physical problem, then the med facility would have been the best solution.
Sorry, I don't think that was her problem. I think she never even heard of a bologna sandwich, which I understand is what lunch was in jail. The jail is NOT going to serve lump crap and caviar...sorry Paris!

19. Actually, the jail probably DOES serve "lump crap"
:rofl:

But tough shit - that's why it's called jail...

(Disclaimer - this is not intended as a spelling snark, just a friendly mention of an amusing typo...)

16. LA County should scour their jail for others with her malady ...
... and then subject them to the same 'punishment': House arrest at Paris' house. It looks like it'd hold about 40-50 other 'suffering' prisoners.

:evilgrin:

3. what else is news?
Unless at least the two-tier justice system will be exposed.

At least she will be out of the "news" until her next glamor shot.


Glad the attorney said it but I don't really care
Welcome to California my friend.

7. Thanks friend! Glad to be here.
I hope this stays in the news for a bit. Maybe more and more people will wake up to what they already know and just whine about to each other over a few beers.

I am seeing in the future many people facing a judge and playing the Paris defense.

The more this stuff is talked about the better placed we are to get more people on board to do something about it.

9. The arsonist that torched my condo got 5 years probations
and 6 months in jail, there was another case in the next town
where a hispanic did almost the same thing and got 12 years
within 6 months of each other.. My arsonist was white whose
dad was on the police force.

10. She takes the label "spoiled brat" to stratospheric levels.
Sadly, this is not at all an unusual sense of privilege among the wealthy. Many really do regard the poor with a mixture of horror and ascription of being a subspecies. I really think the movie "Trading Places" was far, far too mild. I do not believe people like Paris could survive for 48 hours without rescue as a homeless person - and, thus, they prove to me that they are without resilience, without strength, and without the fortitude that even a street person has. They are truly 'disabled' and psychologically disordered. How anyone could admire such creatures is totally beyond me - just like it's completely beyond my ken that anyone would admire 'royalty.' Despicable parasitic creatures.

11. I'm moving to California
Drinking and driving is funnnnn!!!!weeeeee!
Here in Vermont, when you drink and drive YOU GO TO JAIL!
Thing is, I like to drink but being the responsible guy I am
I prefer to get smashed at home. Snort a little coke, maybe a joint or two. or three. staying at home is kinda boring though and being single
its hard to pick up chicks from my couch. Its frickin hard to choose.

But then theres California! I could get all fucked up and when I got horny I could drive my car down to the bar and get myself some tail.
But uh'oh here comes the LA county sheriff. Hope he doesnt make me take a breath test. Jail is scarey.
Really what the fuck would I care. I'd only spend three days in the joint anyhow.
For real...I'm moving to California (they've got some good weed too)
bye, bye Vermont!
PS. sorry if I kill your family.

17. Here we go with the white people shit again
I got busted once and the cops didnt give a flying fuck what I looked like.
After I had my ass kicked, by white cops, the white judge didnt give a shit that I'm lilly white and rosey cheeked.
When I spent two weeks in the county jail, the white prisoners didnt give a shit about stealing food from this white guy either.
Then when I went to court, my white lawyer did a really shitty job keeping out of jail. So now I go see my white probation officer, who is also a women, and she doesnt give a fuck if I'm purple.
Being white has never helped me get anything.
or maybe I dont know how to take advantage of my "white priviledge".

21. Who's responsible?
Isn't the same judge who presided over the sentencing responsible for commuting time? :shrug:

23. Nobody commuted her time. The county sheriff sent her home without permission.
The sheriff's in big trouble with the judge and Paris is back in the jail. C'mon. Don't you KEEP UP with the important breaking news?

Grin.

22. He just sent her back to jail for the full 45 days.
He's furious that she was let out in the first place.
