hehe. screaming for mommy. we heard that one at least once a week.

She behaved a lot better in court than a lot of the defendants I've seen. I've seen defendants threatening the judge, shouting, spitting, being dragged bodily out of the courtroom. Their sentences were still proportional to their crimes.
-
Most of the people in Paris' situation would have already been out of jail, or never put there in the first place, so if anything, it's the prosecutors that will use the case as precedent.

They're the ones that have to go out in the sun all day and pick up trash and do brush clearance on the side of the road for eight hours a day.

I think she'd probably learn more of a lesson assigned to cal-trans and actually made to work instead of sitting on her butt in her cell. Cal-trans in lieu of jail is also pretty standard, but apparently the judge refused to consider anything other than locking her up. That's not a sign of an impartial judge.
-
A judge specifically denying electronic monitoring is not typical. Again, it seems like he's throwing everything at her because of who she is rather than what she did, and that's not a fair way to judge someone.
-
She should be treated like any other defendant in the same circumstances. "Making an example of someone" isn't justice.
-
If she were any other person, she'd have been released because of overcrowding and nobody would have said a word. In LA County, it's pretty rare for a non-violent offender to serve their whole sentence, because the jails are too crowded and the costs too high. LA County jails are already drastically underfunded. I wonder how much more it is costing them to house a celebrity prisoner? I've seen many defendants who've violated probation for reckless driving simply get the probation revoked and reinstated with a fine and no jail time. The punishment she was given seemed to be overly harsh because the judge didn't like who she was. I don't like Paris. Honestly, I think she's a snotty little bitch. But that doesn't mean she should be treated worse than others, just because she has money.

um... use a pot holder and pick up the box.

Bill is very political. Exactly. He has researched and understands the issues. Plus, he's so damn smart it's frightening.

Because if I was wearing a real corset, properly laced, I wouldn't be able to eat very much fish!

What song was at the top of the charts the day you were born? http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm Mine was "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond

Modesto isn't great. I wouldn't want to live there. We had a brief stopover there on a choir tour, and most of us didn't feel safe walking around there. Just my opinion. It's been a while, though. Might've changed.

Didn't we have sushi plans? and no, I am not wearing a corset to sushi!
-
I remember this now. Lacing up a back-lace corset by yourself is not easy.

How can a school expect to get away with this?
Nightingale replied to dorbie's topic in Speakers Corner
The school handed over the diplomas. -
Thank you.

Many of the translations of the Hebrew language Torah also translate the word as "species" rather than "kind." http://bible.ort.org/intro1.asp The Living Torah That's the problem with translation. Words don't always translate straight from one language to the next. The translator is the lens that focuses in on the appropriate word in the new language, and different people interpret the texts in different ways. Some say "species" others say "kind."

Thanks!

Will somebody just tell me what the heck I wore?

I'm hoping to be a public defender. I've still got a few more hoops to jump through before I can actually practice law, tho, but finishing law school and passing the bar were the hard ones.
-
Hmmm - I could search the backup drive on my computer - there seems to be a few pictures there. But I remember - so . . . I really don't need to bother do I? Well, since I don't remember, you could search and pm the pics to me?

I remember thinking of something to wear last year, but I forgot what it was! I was sitting here thinking hmm... red nighty at lost prairie. I'll have to find something cute like last year... wait a second... what the heck did I wear last year? Then again, there was a LOT of alcohol going around that night, so I guess I have an excuse. I vaguely remember being handed something and told "It's fruity! You'll like it" and hearing the word "Everclear" mentioned.
