She’s ordered to spend 45 days in a Los Angeles jail, but doesn’t have to report for about a month (while her lawyers fight for a reduced sentence). She’ll be in solitary, except for one hour per day. She was caught, again I think, driving with a suspended license, at night, with her headlights off. Don’t know, but she may or may not have been intoxicated. Her explanation to the judge was that she was told by her handlers that her license was no longer suspended. My guess is people like her would be clueless as to how to find out this information for themselves. So she’s got 45 days to figure it out.
It was also reported that her mother had to be told by a baliff to be quiet during the hearing. She continually made comments, out loud, about what a farce the whole thing was. Perhaps she needs some time to think as well.

"On February 1, 1978, [Roman] Polanski fled to France, where he retained citizenship. He believed that the judge was going to disregard the plea bargain, in which case he could be sentenced to a prison term (albeit much less than the 50 years he faced under the original indictment). Like many countries, France refuses to extradite its own citizens, which is consistent with the extradition treaty between France and the United States. As a consequence, the American extradition request was not granted. The United States government could have requested that Polanski be prosecuted on the California charges by the French authorities[13], but this option was not pursued."

If Paris flees, think
of all the publicity
she'll get in Japan
or France, wherever
she runs to... She can't, of course,
claim citizenship
rights, but who's gonna
deport her for traffic crimes?
I think she should run!
Yes, I think it’s time for Paris and her mother to think things over. Sheesh.
Lawyers are already saying that it is unlikely that Paris will serve any time because of overcrowding. And her lawyers are already pleading for community service, a lecture circuit and so on. I will be shocked if she’s there for more than a couple hours wait time, then dismissed and told to come back another weekend.
