Actually, the sheriff also said that usually a first offender with no
priors gets no jail time. And of course they need their cells for
people a little more dangerous than some celebutard. Without a doubt
her celebrity worked against her -- because she's such a visible
example, they have to show a) that you can go to jail for this, and
b) that they're not favouring her just because she's rich and white.

She's had lots of the upside of celebrity. Now she gets a rather
sharp taste of the downside. So it goes. Three weeks and she'll be
home again. (I reckon she'll be released by halfway through her 45
days.)

But apparently now she's saying she's done with the whole dumb act.
Oh goody. I can hardly wait.
