Interesting pic u have there minacious
philp: u really pay alot of attention to which celeb has criminal record and which hasn't.
We are not even comparing paris with a mass murder. She's only asked to do 5 days out of the 45 days....and not satisfied. I think that's what tick ppl off.

These latest events have not been Paris's fault. She was released. The only people that can do that is the government.
She is a political prisoner now.

I guess we believe in different things. What I believe is her lawyer tell her not to eat.

Well I think it is all sorted now. She's back in. She should never have been released.

I was under the impression that the 23 day sentence was a discount and not a sentence reduction and so she would only serve out the 23 days. In any case, what was decided has prevailed. Good. Just.

I guess Linsey Lohan is sweating now. Isn't posession of cocaine still like a serious offence.

Is simple possession an imprisonable offence in California? I'm surprised, given the drug culture in certain Californian locations.

It varies with weight, of course. I don't know cocaine - I know weed isn't a felony as long as it's like under a pound. Under an ounce is a simple ticket. Under a pound and over an ounce is like 15 days in the slammer, although, with overcrowding I'm sure for under a pound they'd "let you off" with a fine of some sort.
The technicality with drugs is - if it's over a certain weight they consider it "trafficking" even if it's just for personal use.
Then if you're a repeat offender, like Lindsay Lohan, a possession charge could be a bigger deal. As was the case with Paris Hilton (repeat offenses, not drugs....I mean...I'm sure she DOES drugs, but I don't think she's been busted with them )
I'm pretty well versed in Marijuana laws in my state

"The defendant is remanded to county jail to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence. This order is forthwith," he said.

^I have no problems with her sentence, and I've seen longer jail terms imposed here (usually 8 months full-time custody at first instance). It is fully deserved and it should teach her not to disrespect a court's leniency. However, I've seen even hardened criminals break down in court, so it's not something to be laughing about or making sarcastic comments about. Prison is a tough place, and although in isolation, away from bashings etc., it'll still be pretty hard.
The technicality with drugs is - if it's over a certain weight they consider it "trafficking" even if it's just for personal use.

Yeah, they call it "deemed supply" over here. If you're actually supplying, well good luck in prison. I guess repeat offenders will get tougher sentences, but I'm not sure Lohan has been busted all too often. I mean, if you take the drugs, no-one can bust you. It's only a crime if you get caught before the act. So kids, when the cops come, quick, pop those pills!!!
