You've got to be kidding??? A traffic offence??? Have you ever lost anyone to a drunk driver? If you had, then you probably wouldn't be feeling so sorry for this stupid bimbo!!! As far as I'm concerned, if they would spend as much time and money going after drunk drivers as they do smokers - then getting on the streets would be a lot safer for everyone!! Drunk drivers kill a heck of a lot more than second hand smoke! The only reason they don't address this issue more seriously is because the politicians are first in line at the liquor stores!!!!

Like I said, DUI is a very serious offense and is NOT a traffic offense. But Reckless Driving IS a traffic offense, and that's what she ended up being charged with. Plus, she blew a .08 which is the bare minimum to be considered impaired.

Obviously the Judge has it in for her. He's abusing his power. Why would he lower her sentence to 23 days and then after the SHERIFF makes a mistake and lets her out without filing the correct paperwork, he punishes Paris for the Sheriff's mistake by reinstating her original 45 day sentence...23 days in jail seemed fine to me, and I figured she could do it. She was advised by the Sheriff that due to her "medical problem", she needed to finish out her sentence at home. Of course she listens to him. But the Sheriff didn't file any motions to have her released, he just let her out. So she's being punished for his mistake.
