Answer 1

You get what you pay for.

The "stars" can afford expensive lawyers, and can negotiate softer sentences in exchange for bigger fines.

The common person has to settle for what he can afford, and the results are "fewer perks" than the rich can get.

Answer 2

This is pretty OLD news!

Like my brother Law Dog stated...people who can afford good lawyers often times get better deals.

But we're not talking about "government" at a federal level handling these cases...but the government within the State of California.

Violations of laws often times are penalized based upon the mindsets of the local community.

What may be a trivial issue in California may be considered a more serious issue in a more conservation state. The local courts mirror their communities in that respect.

There've been many instances where the public has become outraged over a judicial sentence but it seems to me that California just turned its head on these two you speak of!

Answer 3

Is the Government corrupt....Yes....not just becaue lindsey lohan or Paris Hilton.....Look at it from the inside out....look who he have in the house and senate!!! wtf, their all clowns!

Our Government from the President down blows!

Its going to get even worse when the next Presidents steps in office!

Answer 4

The California Gopvernment is, obviously.

Answer 5

PHILOSOPHICALLY, justice should be blind, if not all people will be in some kind of a mess. Imagine the lady can see who is rich and who is not. This is not suppose to be the case, rich or poor must be equal in the eyes of the law don't you think?

Ah the cases of PARIS HILTON, yes she asked for this, and since the government cannot afford this kind of luxury in her case, SHE DID BOUGHT all the furnished and paid for it. The government didn't put up any penny for it. FAMOUS PEOPLE are jailed but for sample only Lindsay is a famous actress and mere possession of coccain is one day and a fine which you didn't include in your statement.
