51. Her wealth and celebrity status aside
I think that she received a sentence that is remarkably similar to those of lesser wealth and status who've done virtually the same crimes.

I think that this is what is bothering Paris, her family and supporters, that she is getting treated equally under the law. For a long time, wealth and status have bought many, many favors from the law, and she was expecting the same in this instance. Perhaps this is a sea change in the judiciary:shrug:
