Hilton Appeal

Why shouldn't Paris Hilton appeal? Don't convicted murders on death row have automatic appeals? Why wouldn't she appeal? Is she trying to calm everybody down? Protect the reporters, who although are adults, and professionals, somehow find themselves in the path of police cars on official business?

Sure, I've heard about a relative or employee of the Hilton Hotel Corp (is that a big company) having donated money to the sheriff. I haven't heard the amount. I just have a hard time believing that the punishment is comparable to what anybody else would have received. I also wonder about the hassle the media and the other peepers caused for the courts and the department. Maybe the sheriff was trying to run an efficient jail, filled with rapists, and drug dealers, and maybe just maybe Paris Hilton was a lesser threat to society than murders. Just maybe.

I also don't understand why we're so interested. Does Paris Hilton's fortunes, be them good or bad, really have an effect on your life? Or is it just fun, watching the mighty fall? Is Paris Hilton the personification of mighty? Or do people just resent her? Is it her money? The fact that her own family stands by her? What about having a gold digging boyfriend? Is she envied? Would you want to be her? Are you happy with what's going on in your life?

If you were in jail, would you not try whatever legal means you had to get out? Do you know anybody who wouldn't try to be released?
