Lately, you can't help put hear about Paris Hilton and her sentencing, jail time, house arrest, court date and then back to jail.
This is one of those areas that everyone has their own opinion about. Yes, she broke the law and yes, I feel celebrities get certain "special" treatment that gets them out of of trouble; but again, I don't think the time fit the crime.
She got 45 days in jail for violating her probation; yet Mary Winkler, the lady that killed her husband, may get out of jail after 60 days. How is that fair? Mary killed her husband point blank in their house with their 3 children at home; then fled the scene and took her kids out of state. 60 days!!!!
Where is the justice in that? I do agree sometimes celebrities need to learn their lesson; but I think the judge over Paris' case went a little far in teaching a lesson and then the judge in Mary Winkler's case didn't go far enough.
Can our justice system not be consistent and fair?
