[Blase]

[quote="TGB!":133ff]Why should it - "justice" was served here. Paris Hilton got access to the best representation she could afford. The panel of Sheriffs (who admittedly are elected and potentially swayed by fat stacks of cash) felt her petition was legit. This IS how it works folks.[/quote:133ff]

That's not how it's supposed to. If any of us had tried to pull a "It's cold, I'm scared, now I can't eat" routine and say I was getting psychological problems they'd most likely not release me.

Probably the only reason they did release her is because if she did actually end up getting herself messed up in jail the massive amount of public attention she'd get would lay a lot of blame on the sherrifs office. She's a liability to keep in jail because she's so good at whining and she could turn this on the police in a second.

You all say the Hiltons are spending money to get her out, but I think they're probably trying to find ways to get money out of this.
