I will have a person at my house in two weeks for a party who has two DUIs and has not spent minute one in jail. The number of people who've been pulled over for driving on suspended licenses multiple times is simply staggering.
It is not that big of a deal, and I say that as someone who practice in Philadelphia and Camden in the criminal system, whcih I can assure you, in the pantheon of filthy crime-riddled hotspots, is hardly "provincial" or "parochial."
See what Paris' lawyer even says:
"She is in a cell with less than a hundred square feet, she is in that cell 23 out of 24 hours a day, in solitary confinement. The one hour a day that she's out she's allowed to be in the module, take a shower, and talk on the phone, but she's in isolation for 23 out of 24 hours a day and ask yourself for what? For driving on a suspended licence, as a probation violation."

Granted, he's an advocate, but the fact remains. Her name and the way she treated the court system contributed to this. Sauer is also known for being a tough judge.
The proper sentence was at the very most a weekend in jail. Sauer grandstanded, which kinda validates the respect she showed him, doesn't it?
No, I'm not playing Andy Kaufman now. Now I'm serious.
