Would you sign the petition to keep paris hilton out of jail?

<p>I don't understand her.</p>

<p>The other day I was listening to the radio and apparently in a interview she stated "I don't want you to think I'm better then you (us) celebs are not above the law" so why is she trying to get signatures on a petition to keep her out of jail.</p>

<p>It's not fair, what she did is a serious crime, she could of killed someone while driving drunk. So now she expects to just get away with it? If it was a regular citizen, they would get hung by the balls for a DUI. Why shouldn't she?</p>

<p>Personally I wouldn't sign it, she should go to jail. She could of killed somones mother, father, brother, sister, or even cousin, someone's something. No, I'm totally aganist drunk driving.</p>

<p>Other people have made petitions to send her to jail and here are their defending points:</p>

<p>"In June of 2006, she knowingly backed into a parked car and then sped away, in full view of the paparazzi. This is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail. Paris was never charged. </p>

<p>In September of 2006 she was arrested for driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher. In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to those charges and was sentenced to 36 months probation, her drivers license was suspended and she was ordered to enroll in an alcohol education program within 21 days. She never enrolled in the program and she was photographed driving her Bentley convertible just two days later. </p>

<p>Just one month later (on February 27), she was pulled over by Los Angeles County Sheriffs deputies at 10:30 at night for driving 70 miles per hour, without her headlights on, down Sunset Boulevard, which is a 35 miles per hour zone. </p>

<p>In March 2007, the Los Angeles City's Attorney's Office filed a motion citing Hilton for violating the terms of her DUI probation, asking for 45 days in jail, even though the law allowed Paris to be sentenced to 90 days in jail. Hilton violated at least three conditions of her probation; driving at 70 mph without her headlights on in a 35 mph zone, driving with a suspended license, and failing to enroll in the court-ordered alcohol education program. </p>

<p>This petition asks Governor Schwarzenegger to ignore other petitions asking for clemency and show the people of California that no one is above the law. This petition asks that Governor Schwarzenegger do everything in his power to ensure that Paris Hilton serve her full 45 day sentence."</p>

<p>She isn't going to serve her full sentence.</p>

<p>"Hilton, sentenced last week to do the time, could spend three weeks or less behind bars because of a state requirement that grants inmates time off for good behavior and because of overcrowding in the system, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.</p>

<p>"It's possible that it could be 21 days, 23 days. It's a complicated formula that the state sets down. It's possible that she could do less time," Whitmore said.</p>

<p>As for overcrowding, "our jail is bursting at the seams" and some women inmates have been released after serving only 10 percent of their sentence, Whitmore said"</p>

<p>Good behavior? Are you serious? How do you get less sentence for good behavior when you haven't even began to serve it!</p>

<p>her daddy is going to pull some strings to get her out in a few days. If he doesn't get her off completely, he'll have her under house arrest in, well, ... the hilton I guess...</p>

<p>I would sign petition to include both six months for backing into the car and three months for this in a REGULAR jail. Not because I don't like Hilton (I don't really know who she is), but law is law and breaking of this law could kill someone.</p>

<p>Seriously, what's going on with this country? President is killing thousands of innocent people abroad, putting in the national id to restrain us, and rich bastards can get out of the jail just because they have money.</p>

<p>Hey, maybe it's time for another revolution comrades?</p>

<p>I'd sign a petition to increase her jail time.</p>

<p>Didn't read your post, but from the title, no, I wouldn't. She deserves jail time.</p>

<p>@shravas: I second that.</p>

<p>And to mr. chipset, if worse comes to worst, I'll volunteer to be the guy who stands on top of the tank like I did in Tiananmen Square (yeah, that was me!)</p>

<p>she should definitely go and stay the whole time.</p>

<p>I hate paris hilton. Oh, how I hate her. I would most definitely not sign to give her less jail time. How is that idea even practical? Why would a petition with some signatures overrule the law?</p>

<p>I agree with all the posts here.
Let's get one from someone who thinks she should be let go b/c "she's pretty and provides entertainment."
Personally I think she's butt-ugly and I get no entertainment from hearing about her almost-murderous escapades.</p>

<p>And her sex tape was of horrible quality!</p>

<p>Just kidding, just kidding, never saw it, I swear!!!! I don't even know if she has one, I'm just making a wild guess!!!</p>

<p>^^ Like I believe that. </p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>But seriously, I don't believe that.</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>never. i'd rather be shot.</p>

<p>@SSD:I just wanted to see what the reaction of the CCers would be. But really, I have never seen a pornographic video or clip in my entire life! Never!</p>

<p>A bit defensive there, aren't you?</p>

<p>P.S. I am no longer speaking for myself, nyjunior. My reaction stands for "the reaction of the CCers."</p>

<p>Yup, aren't you special. You SSD, you!</p>

<p>I'd sign a petition to keep her out jail, on the conditions that she must consume 5,000 calories a day until she gains 20 pounds!!! ahahahhaha.</p>

<p>If I were a member of her family, I would have spoken at the sentencing hearing in favor of the jail term. The idea that she would actually appeal to her fans (why she has any is beyond me) to sign a petition on her behalf in an attempt to avoid serving her sentence says it all. She cares about no one but herself. Disgusting.</p>

<p>She should go to jail and receive NO preferential treatment beyond what is absolutely necessary to guarantee her personal safety.</p>

<p>Paris Hilton + jail = ^.^</p>

<p>Seriously, she's not gonna end up serving for more than 2 weeks is my guess.</p>

<p>Heck no, would she sign a petition to get me out of jail.. does she even know what a petition is? Would she end up just chewing the pen instead? No way, if she did something wrong, make her pay for it.</p>
