Paris Hilton Ordered to Return to Court

By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent document.write(getElapsed("20070608T011541Z"));

LOS ANGELES - Hours after Paris Hilton was sent home under house arrest Thursday, the judge who put her in jail for violating her reckless-driving probation ordered her into court to determine whether she should be put back behind bars.

Hilton must report to court at 9 a.m. Friday, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told The Associated Press.

"My understanding is she will be brought in in a sheriff's vehicle from her home," Parachini said.

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer issued his order after the city attorney filed a petition late Thursday afternoon questioning whether Sheriff Lee Baca should be held in contempt of court for releasing Hilton on Thursday morning.

The celebrity inmate was sent home from the Los Angeles County jail's Lynwood lockup shortly after 2 a.m. for an unspecified medical condition in a stunning reduction to her original 45-day sentence.

She was ordered to finish her sentence under house arrest, meaning she could not leave her four-bedroom, three-bath home in the Hollywood Hills until next month.

"What transpired here is outrageous," county Supervisor Don Knabe told The Associated Press, adding that he received more than 400 angry e-mails and hundreds more phone calls from around the country.

Hilton's return home gives the impression of "celebrity justice being handed out," he said.

City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo complained that he learned of her release the same way as almost everyone else _ through news reports.

"It is the city attorney's position that the decision on whether or not Ms. Hilton should be released early and placed on electronic monitoring should be made by Judge Sauer and not the Sheriff's Department," said Jeffrey Isaacs of the city attorney's office.

Sauer himself had expressed his unhappiness with Hilton's release before Delgadillo asked him to return her to court. When he sentenced Hilton to jail last month, he ruled specifically that she could not serve her sentence at home under electronic monitoring.

Parachini said Sauer reminded the Sheriff's Department of that when he learned Hilton was about to be released.

"He reiterated the terms of his sentencing order. He did not agree to the terms of release that the sheriff proposed," Parachini told the AP before Delgadillo asked that Hilton be returned to court.

But, Parachini said at the time, it is the sheriff and not the judge who decides when inmates are released from jail.

Delgadillo's office indicated that it would argue that the Sheriff's Department violated Sauer's May 4 sentencing order.

I think she should serve her sentence in jail. The whole 45 days. If a regular person stopped eating or cried a lot in jail, nothing would happen. People don't get to leave jail because it makes them sad. 3 days makes a mockery out of the justice system.

I really didn't think she would be released and now I don't think she will even be returned to prison.  Our justice system is far from perfect, and celebrities really seem know how to make a mockery out of it.  And I wish all of her allys would stop saying, "Everyone has lost perspective, it was just a traffic violation."  Actually, the original "traffic violation" that set this whole thing in motion was her DUI charges.  Not something that should just be poo-pooed away.  Ask all the poor families who have lost loved ones to drunk drivers if they think the people who killed them were just traffic violators.  Besides, she should be put in prison just for having such flagrant disrespect for the law.

This is from www.wwtdd.com  Wouldn't be great if she get put in a PSYCH facility!?


About 45 minutes ago, Paris Hilton was cuffed by the LAPD and she has now arrived in court to appear before Judge Michael Sauer to see if she will go back into jail. Fox News reports that Paris will wait in a cell until the hearing has concluded. This may end up very very bad for Paris. She was released yesterday because her psychiatrist said she was mentally unfit to stay in jail, so Judge Sauer has the right to take her from her comfy surroundings of a private cell under the watch of the sheriffs office and place her in the LA county psyche ward. Speaking of crazy, can you imagine pulling into your garage and finding a giant octopus. What's that doing there?!?
