Paris intentionally drove while knowing her license to DRIVE was suspended. She endangered the lives of countless paparazzi's and a few civilians as well. Nicole Richie should have the book thrown at her (literally) because of her nutty move of driving the wrong way on a freeway.

| | Courtney has never been arrested because the police, judges, and correction officers all know if Courtney is put in jail she will be in charge. Courtney will be running the joint... |

Originally Posted by Wildwoman ‘Felony’ isn’t synonymous with ‘crime,’ it’s a particular degree of crime (“One of several grave crimes, such as murder, rape, or burglary, punishable by a more stringent sentence than that given for a misdemeanor,” according to the American heritage dictionary). Admittedly, I don’t have any real idea whether what either of them were charged with is actually a felony, but based on that definition, it sounds as though the answer to that is no.
I asked kr’s in-house legal people once if the sentences Courtney was getting were typical, or if any non-celebrity charged with such would be imprisoned already, and was surprised when the answer was that they thought it was typical – that anyone, with a prior record no worse than whatever Courtney’s is would most likely have received exactly the same sentences. I haven’t asked this about Paris. But even as a non-lawyer I can easily see one big difference, which has already been mentioned several times here, the substance abuse factor. | Driving without a license gets a decent amount of leniency and the 45 day sentence sounds about right to me. It's driving under the influence that I am puzzled about. I know that in Maryland, I used to see tons of guys get sentenced for a year or two and it was their first offense. I used to work as a bail bondsman and there was always the repeat offender dude who bounced in and out of jail anyway, but many times it was just a cornfed whiteboy who had never traveled outside the briar patch and when he did, he was driving drunk.  |

When Courtney butt was put in jail she ran the joint...She was even telling the Guards what to do... She even convince the guards not to put on the leg irons... | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
