Yet Another Big Joke

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Nicole Richie was released from jail Thursday after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.

************Nicole Richie and her "mug" shot************
The reality show star, who checked into a women's jail at 3:15 p.m., was released at 4:37 p.m. "based on her sentence and federal guidelines," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Maribel Rizo said without elaborating.

Under the guidelines, Richie was "treated in the same manner as other inmates with a similar sentence," the statement said.

Richie, 25, was originally sentenced to 96 hours in jail, but that was reduced to 90 hours because of time served when she was arrested.
What a freaking joke. She was sentenced to 96 hours - 4 days - and actually "served" 82 minutes.

How are the rest of us supposed to respect the courts and obey the law when crap like this happens repeatedly?

Did her chucker boyfriend come and pick "da blond ho" up, or did she have to settle for daddy's limo?
