Above the Law

These days it seems like a lot of high class people are above the law. Is this fair? Celebrity Paris Hilton was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Thursday after "driving erratically" and failing a field sobriety test, police said. "The DUI charge would be a misdemeanor. Hilton has been released on her own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court at the end of the month, at which time she will learn if she will be charged." Do celebrity convicted criminals get lighter sentences than ordinary people? I doubt that they would wonder about charging anybody else. I thought that the law was the law and nobody is above the law. But you always here about the one that got away. Celebs are usually receiving lesser punishments then "ordinary people" these days. Take the case of famous Michael Jackson. And what about what really happens when celebs are arrested. Sometimes the public doesn't even get to hear what really went down. The case of Mel Gibson is appalling! I didn't know he said and did all that stuff? Sources say that the Deputy that handled the case was told to write another report with omitted details for the public, probably to maintain the celeb's image. They called "sanitizing the report." That is messed up. I think that celebs should be shown in their true light, they are supposed to be somewhat of a role model figure for the public!
