Hilton had served just three of her 45 day sentence before LA Sheriff Lee Baca released her because of an undisclosed medical condition.

Just another example of a high profile celebrity getting off easy?

 Local attorney John Patrick Dolan says no. Last night Bill O’Reilly drilled him on “The O’Reilly Show” about celebrity justice and Baca’s soft hand with the rich and powerful.

“This is a ridiculous, extreme sentence because of who she is,” Dolan said.

Dolan has been a criminal law attorney specializing in DUI cases since 1978. His office is in Indio. He regularly makes appearances on Fox News and Court TV.

• March 29, 2007 – The L.A. City Attorney’s Office petitions the court to revoke Hilton’s probation. The basis of the violation of probation petition was that Hilton failed to register in the court required alcohol awareness program and the February citation for driving under a suspended license. It should be noted that she was eligible to have her license reissued on a restricted basis but as of February 27th she had not done so because she had not enrolled in the alcohol awareness program.

• June 11, 2007 – Hilton abandons her appeal of the sentence.

The bottom line here is that Paris Hilton was sentenced in a harsher fashion that anyone in Southern California based on the facts of this case.

By contrast, Michelle Delgadillo, the wife of L.A. City Attorney Rockey Delgadillo who is prosecuting the case against Paris Hilton, was cited for driving on a suspended license in 2005 and received a $186 fine!

She faces up to six years in prison, but her lawyers are expected to ask for probation. Winkler could spend less than a year and a half in jail.

Matthew Winkler was shot to death in March 2006 in the home the couple shared with their three daughters.

In April, Mary Winkler was tried for first-degree murder. The jury found her guilty of the lesser crime of voluntary manslaughter. During the trial, Winkler testified about mental and physical abuse she received at the hands of her husband.

She told investigators she accidentally shot her husband after a night of arguing over money and other family matters.

3 days and out is typical for a non-violent misdemeanor sentence. It happens everyday, all the time, all over Southern California.

Paris Hilton’s lawyers knew that she would receive this kind of treatment which made it easy for them to agree with her PR representatives in advising Paris to withdraw her appeal and agree to “do her time like anyone else”.

Paris Hilton was reassigned to a home detention monitoring program, also referred to as “Sheriff’s Parole”, at 2:09 am today.

She was transported early this morning to an undisclosed location and transferred to her lawyer’s custody and then taken to her home where she will spend the next 40 days on home detention.

Late Thursday, Judge Michael T. Sauer issued an Order to Show Cause why Sheriff Baca should not be held in contempt of court for releasing Hilton on home detention contrary to the court’s explicit orders.

Hilton is to be transported by LA County Sheriffs to attend this hearing. The City Attorney will argue that Hilton should be recommitted to the LA County Jail.

Hilton’s defense team will no doubt argue that Hilton is being victimized by this struggle between the court and the LA County Sheriff.

Libby was allowed to remain free pending the Bureau of Prisons designation of the specific institution to which he must surrender in 60 days.

The Judge at sentencing denied an appeal bond so that Libby could remain free pending appeal but the Judge gave defense lawyers leave to file briefs to reconsider the question of bail on appeal.

President Bush could pardon Libby, but will probably wait to learn the outcome of the anticipated request for bail on appeal.

Dr. Pena rendered an opinion that the death of Lana Clarkson was a homicide not suicide. This opinion was based in part on interviews of her friends and statements attributed to Spector at the scene of the crime.

Today Prosecution and Defense argued over whether or not Lana Clarkson’s diary which included statements involving depression, unhappiness, and delusional conversations with the dead would be admissible and usable as a basis for cross examination of the doctor’s opinion.

In the meantime, D. Henry Lee has released a statement defending himself against attacks on his character and veracity. Lee says he is being slandered by attacks on his handling of evidence and he believes the motive is to undermine his upcoming testimony on behalf of the defense.

The trial is expected to continue through June and July.

On Monday May 28th the 20 year old actress checked into rehab. This is her 2nd rehab stint this year.

Lohan’s estranged father, Michael Lohan says she suffers from multiple addictions including alcohol and the painkiller oxyCotin.

Before entering rehab, the actress was scheduled to start work on “Poor Things”, a comedy featuring Shirley McClain.

The results of the blood test taken after her accident will determine what if any charges will be filed against her.

Actually, it is most likely that the court will modify the sentence on a Motion to Reconsider.

Hilton now is in the SB1176 Alcohol Program and has had her license reissued.

Lee said his “reputation is severely damaged” and “I feel pretty upset.”

Driver, Adriano De Souza, testified before the jury that he heard Phil Spector say “I think I killed somebody.”

De Souza said he didn’t know what to do. He tried to run and then realized he had the car.

Ultimately, De Souza called the 911 Operator and said “I think my boss killed somebody.”
