I don't think she should get a harsher sentence than someone else would have gotten, for the same offense.
I don't think it's the job of the judicial system to be her parent. What she may or may not need for being a spoiled brat is irrelevant. She can stay spoiled until she dies of old age and there isn't anything anyone can do about that.
What we can do is stop watching, reading, and caring about it.

No she did not get a harsher sentence for her crime. It is just enforced a heck of a lot more than normal by a judge who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.
She may be a spoiled brat (well, so ok she i-s) but as you write, that is not the justicedepartment's job to deal with. At this moment several media-hungry people are getting their (unjust) minutes in the light and Ms. Hilton is paying the piper.
You and I probably would find the inside of a prison scary, for her it is another planet. The three days she already spent might have done the trick. To have someone on 24/7 suicide-watch for a paroleviolation is a bit rich, and not in the Hilton-rich way.
I did a little research, and 98% of all first-time offenders in CA that violates their parole for a non-violent crime serve first 50% off for good behavior and then only 10% of the remaining time, which she had done when she was released the first time. Now we have people on a power-trip. I don't care how rich she is, how well deserving it is to have her sentensed, but enough is enough, she is punished far harsher than she would ever have been had she had another last name.
Thanks Fia. I knew I'd mess up the terminology there... Sentence, reinforcing sentence. Different things.
And thanks for the info and clarity.
I was watching CNN on Friday and it was unbelievable the way she was psychoanalyzed by people who had never met her. The CNN anchor even commented on it, making it clear that the looong interviews with "experts" was something he was forced to do. It's not good when journalists are questioning their own profession live, on the air.
Lotta, I think there will a lot of harsh words about how this case has been handled (or mishandled as is the case IMHO) but the bottomline is that it is never wrong to "throw the book" at a defendant BUT it should be done in the correct way and with the correct intent. That is not done. Sad.
