Big, huge, enormous props to Celebslam for tracking down this photo of Sheriff Baca.
The Sheriff was grilled once again about why he decided Paris needed to leave jail after like 10 minutes, and he was like, “Our doctors said we had no solution to Hilton’s medical problems. None. As a sheriff in this county, I’m not going to let any inmate die in this jail.”
Jesus Christ, what did she have? The plague?
Even Paris was all like, “The doctors were observing me while I was there. They explained to Sheriff [Lee] Baca that they thought I was having severe anxiety, panic attacks, claustrophobia.”
Baca went on to say that “everyone who goes in to serve county jail time is early released. If Ms. Hilton got preferential treatment, it’s that she spent more time in the county jail than the average inmate.”
I think that if Paris had been released with that sort of statement, there would probably have been less backlash. If the Sheriff had just been, like, “Look, this is pretty routine. Paris is a low-risk, non-violent offender, and it doesn’t make any economic sense to keep her here when we have high-risk, violent felons who need cages, so we’re releasing her early and putting her on house arrest, like we do in all of these cases,” people may have been less outraged. I know I would have. It probably would have helped me be a little less outraged if the Hiltons hadn’t contributed to Baca’s most recent campaign, but that’s a different story.
omfg i’m so tired of this story! that sheriff needs his head examined, he sounds like a dolt. secondly, the judge specifically ordered that she was NOT to wear a bracelet! damn.
I actually tend to go for older hairy dudes, but YUCK!
Sherrif Baca makes some excellent points…
…I’ve been feeling a little claustrophobic and agitated lately, too…
She had addiction withdrawal.
What a hottie. The shoulder hair is a plus.
