Did Hilton money buy Paris a way out of Jail? Perhaps…
According to Radar Online, her grand father was a big donor to the Sheriff who released her.
Joking aside about Paris and her plight, this does raise a somewhat more serious question about the motives of the Sheriff who released her against a judges specific orders to home monitoring.
Did family money buy Paris Hilton a temporary get-out-of-jail card?
Sheriff Lee Baca, the Los Angeles law-enforcement official who ordered Hilton released from jail after serving only three days in her 45-day sentence, accepted a $1,000 campaign donation last year from William Barron Hilton—Paris’s grandfather. That contribution constituted the maximum amount allowable under California campaign rules.
Baca has come under heavy fire for deciding to let Hilton serve out the remainder of her sentence at home, in apparent defiance of the orders given by the judge who sentenced her last month. Baca has said that Hilton was suffering from a “medical condition,” an explanation that has not fared well under scrutiny. This afternoon, Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered Hilton back to jail. She reportedly left the courtroom screaming “It’s not right! Mom!”
In office since 1998, Baca has cultivated close ties to the Hollywood community. Others who donated money to his campaign last year included Rupert Murdoch, Les Moonves, Ron Meyer, Brad Grey, Steven Segal, and Burt Bacharach. He was assailed last year over a claim by the Sheriff’s Department that Mel Gibson had been arrested without incident, when the star had actually spewed anti-Semitic statements after getting pulled over for drunk driving. It soon emerged that Gibson had taped a public service announcement for Baca’s relief committee.
Baca has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Paris was sent back to her cell, screaming and crying for her mom, and has become a complete mockery of privilege during this whole idiotic ordeal.
Ironically part of her fame was the reality show where she played a spoiled rotten rich kid sent around the country to do mundane things and to live in mundane situations.
Maybe she should think of this as another episode.
The brat has her supporters, but the majority of public opinion is firmly behind the judge, because people are sick of spoiled rich kids escaping justice.

Amen and hallelujah!
If anything else shows just what a spoiled, overpriviledged, self serving brat she is, the episode in open court is it. Screaming for her mother as she’s hauled off to serve a 45 day sentence that is far less than she deserves for her crimes.
It’s not right. It’s not fair. She should be going to jail for six months.

“but the majority of public opinion is firmly behind the judge, because people are sick of spoiled rich kids escaping justice.”
I agree totally but what gripes me more is with all that is going on in the world to have the News monopolized by the story of some spoiled rich kid doing time for driving revoked
