Everybody was talking about it this morning: Paris Hilton out of jail after only five days?
Ms. Hilton, originally found guilty of reckless driving, was sentenced to 45 days in a Los Angeles County jail after violating probation.
With good behavior, she had been expected to serve at least 23 days. Now, under house confinement, her sentence is up to 45 days once again.
Quite a few of us are wondering if the celebutante is getting a deal the rest of us regular Joes could only dream of.
So The Washington Times interns are out today asking folks around the District their reaction. Fair? Or favoritism? What do you think?

Paris could redeem herself by establishing a fund for prisoners who can't afford power house legal representation who can arrange slick deals with the local jail commander.

Why give her the attention she so desperately craves?

Paris Hilton may welll be getting a stiffer sentence than the average ... dirtbag would get for the same offense. People are "outraged" by their perception that Hilton is above the law while treating her as if she were beneath it.
