There are a lot of white collar criminals doing very hard time whose families have been ruined for what are essentially accounting mistakes or overstatements. We let Paris out for flaunting criminal laws that imperil the safety of others because she doesnt like the food? Seems like if you want to flaunt the rules setup shop in LA and dress nicely. Paris is a drain on society.

Baca is known for cleaning up and hiding negative information on any celebrities records, we see so many DUI's and domestic arrests that never see the light of day-except now TMZ and Harvey Levin-a major foe of Baca and vice versa- has ripped the lid off cushy cozy celeb treatments.

This is an insult to anyone who has lost someone to drunk driving. With Paris getting off this easy it sets a new precedent in California law.

So what else is new. If you have money, you get special treatment. Go back as far as Leopold and Lowe (thrill murderers)Their lawyer saved them from death sentence.

'Where was Sharpton...'

Who cares?!! That was over a decade ago. Get with the times. Are you saying Hilton should escape punishment for something she was convicted of? Or, do you believe that punishment should be dealt to those found 'not guilty'?

Why does not the sheriff also release people who are HIV+, have Cancer or are these medical conditions less serious then Paris’s little scratch. If Martha can serve time so can Paris really no one will really miss her.

Shame on you Sheriff Baca. Paris Hilton is too pathetically spoiled and filled with entitlement to know the difference. But you, Sheriff Baca, you should know she is not being punished as much as John Q Public would be for the same flaunting of the law. I hope your position is elected and you get put out as soon as possible.

Send her back for her full sentence and then remember BACA when it comes time to elect a replacement for him. No matter what, Hilton's arrogance and lack of respect for the laws of this country will see her back again and a repeat offender. The noise of the jail kept her awake, she only got three blankets and she didn't like the hot dog they gave her. I know what the reaction would be if any other prisoner played this game on the system!!! They would go cold and hungry for the three weeks!!!!

Judge Sauer, if he rules the Sheriff's office in contempt, should send Sheriff Baca to jail to serve the remainder of Paris Hilton's sentence. Or, the judge could order the release of two minority prisoners and both Baca & Hilton could serve sentences concurrently.

We have to make sure not to make this a Black or White issue, AL Sharpton is correct, why should she get special treatment, why is the sheriff department concerned about her health and not everyone elses. The bottom line is that she broke the law and she should pay for it.

Enough Already!!!!Jun 8th, 2007 - 18:50:01

This girl is getting entirely too much airtime!!

She decided early on what 'she' wanted for punishment and it now appears, at least for the time being, she is getting precisely what 'she' wants...

A Sheriff overriding a Judges order???? Unreal!!!

The Judge should put this spoiled brat back in jail and make her serve the entire 45 days and for the Sheriff's contempt....put him in with her....

Quoting your article:

'Baca told Lopez that 'Hilton had a medical condition that 'wasn't getting any better in jail,' and he decided to reassign her to home confinement, with an electronic monitor.'
_______________________________________________________________________ _____

So does this mean her 'medical condition' would get better at home? I guess herpes does flare up when you're stressed.

Sheriff Baca released a prisoner without a Warrant from the Court allowing him to do so. (Yes, sheriffs need -release- warrants to release a prisoner.) He should be indicted and tried for 'obstructing government operations', which is legal-speak for escape from jail.

Why, because you people buy the rags that have her picture on them.

Why, because you people elected him to office.

Why, you have a judge that over sentenced this person.

Burden to society, how can a millionaire be a burden

Why, are more comments being posted around this nation
THEN
1). Rockets flying into Israel.
2). 80000 children died last night.
3). Terrorists are at this very moment plotting to hurt us.
4). 8000 illegal aliens committed crimes against us last night,
today and tonight.
5). Society believes we have a green house problem, because you are told so.
