Schadenfreude just developed a whole new depth of meaning:
Paris Hilton was sent screaming and crying back to jail Friday after a judge ruled that she must serve out her sentence behind bars rather than in the comfort of her Hollywood Hills home.
Wonderful! But it gets better:
“It’s not right!” shouted Hilton, who violated her probation in a reckless driving case. “Mom!” she cried out to her mother.
Actually, what’s not right is that our celebutard only got 43 days for DUI, which then was cut to 23 days, and then 3–but oh, the joy, she’s back behind bars where she belongs!
She entered the courtroom disheveled and weeping, hair askew, without makeup, wearing a fuzzy gray sweat shirt over slacks.
She cried throughout the hearing, dabbing her eyes, and her body shook constantly. Several times she turned to her parents, seated behind her in the courtroom, and mouthed, “I love you.”
I haven’t gotten this much pleasure out of a news story since the election results stories in 2004. And it looks like somebody’s in hot water:
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,” Sauer said. “At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home.”
The hearing was requested by the city attorney’s office, which had prosecuted Hilton and wanted Baca held in contempt for releasing Hilton despite Sauer’s express order that she must serve her time in jail. The judge took no action on the contempt request.
Before you cheer the judge, remember, he took no action on the contempt, and this is the same idiot who only gave her 43 days in the first place–for driving drunk.

She wasn’t convicted of DUI, she was convicted for wreckless driving.

I think she needs to take a trip to a morgue, to see a drunk driving victim. I’d say she needs to talk to the families of people killed by inebriated drivers, but that would probably inflict more pain on those people.
