The national obsession with celebrity collided head-on with the more serious issue of the equal application of justice on Friday, as a judge sent the socialite Paris Hilton back to jail some 36 hours after she was released for an unspecified medical problem. However, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was calm but apparently irked by Sheriff Lee Baca's decision to release Hilton three days into her sentence due to an unspecified "medical condition."
I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions...At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home.
Hilton, 26, wearing no makeup and with her hair disheveled, sobbed and screamed, "Mom, this isn't right," as she was taken from the packed courtroom by deputies.
Here's an MSNBC report on Paris Hilton being sent back to jail.
