To: The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:

Let me first begin by saying that I grew up as a child enjoying all of your wonderful films. You really are the truly great action hero for our time. You are doing a great job in the great state of California.

I would like to bring a matter to your attention that you may or may not already be aware of due to the excessive media coverage this matter has received recently:

Paris Whitney Hilton is 26 year old American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. She provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives. Hilton is notable for her leading roles on the FOX reality series The Simple Life and in the remake of the Vincent Price horror classic “House of Wax”. In addition to her work as an actress, she has achieved some recognition as a model, celebrity spokesperson, singer, and writer.

As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007.

We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong. I do not support drunk driving or condone a person being spared from DUI charges. Paris should have been sober. But she shouldn’t go to jail, either. As depicted on Friday night’s episode “Nancy Grace” on Headline News (May 4, 2007), countless celebrities have been “slapped on the wrist” for similar incidents recently. Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson, Tracy Morgan, Wynonna Judd, to name a few, were arrested and never did a day in jail after their initial arrests for drunk driving /DUI /DWI charges. Rappers Busta Rhymes and Eve still walk free after both being arrested for the same charges as Ms. Hilton just this past week.

Singer/actress Brandy Norwood’s California Highway accident, although no proof of DUI was evidenced in her accident, resulted in the death of a young wife and mother in California, yet Brandy walks free as of today, never doing any time and a woman is now dead possibly due to her reckless driving.

Yet, Paris Hilton did not hurt, injure, or kill anyone or anything, and yet she must do jail time.

This letter, with all due respect to you, sir, is to ask you to please consider granting a pardon to Paris Hilton for her mistake, or at the very least to advocate for a pardon to be given to Ms. Hilton. Please allow her to her return to her career and life. Everyone makes mistakes. She didn’t hurt or kill anyone, and she has learned her lesson. She is sincere, apologetic, and full of regret for her actions as she explained tearfully to the Judge handling her case in court yesterday. She is distraught and understandably afraid to enter the prison system.

Please save Paris from ending up at the Century Regional Detention Facility in California.

I urge you to think about the welfare of this young woman who will be placed into a facility with murderers, rapists, people who have committed assault, battery, larceny, etc. Paris has made a mortal error and deserves a second chance like so many others in our great nation have been served with after a mistake they have made. In my humble opinion, if the late Former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we as compassionate human beings can undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well.

I hope and expect that you will understand and please consider granting this unusual but important request in good faith to Ms. Paris Whitney Hilton.

Paris Dealt Her 'Get Out Of Jail' Card

Paris Hilton may end up spending less than half of her jail sentence behind bars, it has emerged.
Good news for Paris Police chiefs say good behaviour and a shortage of prison cells may mean the socialite could be out three weeks into her 45-day sentence for probation violation.

"She will be treated like any other inmate who's classified as a low-level security risk," Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told the Los Angeles Times.

Hilton, 26, was jailed after a court ruled she had broken her probation by twice driving while banned earlier this year following a conviction for drink-driving.

A judge said her sentence would start on June 5.

Despite living in the lap of luxury all her life, Hilton said she was ready to face her punishment.

"I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation," Hilton said in a statement.

"I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."

She intends to appeal and her fans have posted a petition on the internet urging Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her.

It is not the first time celebrities have had their sentences cut because of jail overcrowding and good behaviour.

Last year, Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days in jail for violating probation after her drunken driving arrest in Hawaii.

She was released within hours because of overcrowding.

"She will be treated like any other inmate who's classified as a low-level security risk,"

I hope they rape/kill her, she deserves it.

I hope they rape/kill her, she deserves it.

So if you got caught for driving without a licence, you consent to being killed/raped in prison?

(Although, if being a spoilt, wealthy, irritating cow was an offense punishable by death half of Sandton would be on death row.)

It's not about jail time, bail, whatever... it's about capital punishment for the crimes Paris committed. Again, if you were caught drunk driving, would you consent to the death penalty?

huh? where's the death penalty being issued on hilton?

LOM feels we are being too lenient on violent criminal scum like Paris. Read up a few posts lazy Fish

Man, if Paris deserves to be put to death for being a ditzy tart I'd hate to see what would happen to the real criminals.

renegade your views seem very biased... maybe because you not paris... jealousy makes you nasty evil.gif

food shortage? in US OF A I dno't think so they make it bigger and better!

Man, if Paris deserves to be put to death for being a ditzy tart I'd hate to see what would happen to the real criminals.

Los Angeles - Hotel heiress Paris Hilton was let out of prison early on Thursday morning and will spend the rest of her sentence for violating probation confined to her home, the Los Angeles sheriff said.

She was fitted with an electronic monitoring device on her ankle and sent home, where she will be confined for 40 days, said Steve Whitmore of the the LA County Sheriff's office.

He said the decision was made for medical reasons.

What would they do to an 'ordinary' convict if they refused to eat? THEY'D PUT THEM IN THE PSYCHE WARD... Money makes the world go 'round.

Just out of interest, are you perchance 16 years old or younger?
