Rule of law . . . even for the wealthy

But Geragos point was that people who get 60 days serve no time and are routinely released to home monitoring for much less than the 45 days that the Sheriff wanted her to be under house arrest. But in this case, the judge made an exception and dragged her back in jail. To me, the reason is clearly that he is influenced by the media and is on a power trip. The Sheriff on the other hand is clearly not influenced, because he was willing to take the heat from the media for releasing her early, just like would happen with most inmates who got her sentence. The point is if Paris wasn't a celebrity, she would not be in jail now, even if she got the 45 day sentence. The Sheriff should still go ahead and release her. He has authority under federal order to relieve overcrowding, and he should tell the judge to go pound sand.

I've seen at least one thread on another forum where the integrity of said Sheriff has been called into question. As in, he's in Hollywood's pocket. I'm not going to go into it fully as it is circumstantial, but it is just as easy for the Sheriff to be influenced by alterior motives as it is the judge by the media spotlight.

Most other inmates would have been stuffed in with the rest of the general population where the overcrowding occurs. Paris, from the start, has been in the special accomadations made for celebrities and other high profile prisoners. These sections are very rarely occupied, and almost never overcrowded. Couple this with the judge probably seeing little to no remorse on Paris' part and the the order to go back to jail doesn't fit in with the 'power hungry' tilt.

Hell yeah he can go release her to relieve overcrowding. That is a federal order, overrules the state judge. The problem with the original release was that she was released for medical reasons, not to relieve overcrowding. The same sheriff is releasing people who have hurt others to make room for Paris.

You aren't making any sense at all.

She is taking up room in a jail while people who committed more serious crimes are released because there is no room to house them.

The jail is under federal order to relieve overcrowding, and it is doing so by releasing inmates.

From where I stand, they are better off releasing Paris than someone convicted of a more serious offense. You are so obsessed with her riches and fame that you want her to suffer, even if it means someone more dangerous will be set free.

Where you stand makes no sense (odd/ironic given your nickname) because she has been held in an area of jail not where ordinary joe blows that have committed "more serious offenses" would be held.

I know you like this girl (anyone that says they don't is full of sh!t) but there is no valid reason to cut her slack given her blatant flaunting of the law and so many chances given to her.
