I feel EXACTLY the same way. Who are you to avoid the law simply because you're rich and famous?

What makes me sad is that she thinks she is totally above the law. I really wish all judges would crack down on athletes/stars etc.

Seriously. Martha didn't whine, did she?

I actually do have a lot of compassion for her, because I don't think she's just throwing a tantrum--she seems to be in genuine distress. Jail is scary and awful, even more so if you've been babied and protected your whole life, and if I had to go, they'd have to drag me kicking, screaming, and crying. So I don't think even a little bit less of her for being extremely upset about having to go back.

That said, she did the crime, and she should just do the freakin' time and stop demanding to be treated better than everyone else. She just keeps making it worse for herself by showing the whole world that she thinks she's entitled to a free ride. I really think that if, from the first, she'd said "yeah, I screwed up, and I deserve whatever I get," most people would not care if she'd gotten out after just a few days.

Yeah, I agree that she should have gone to the Martha Stewart School of Graceful Prisonerhood.

I was actually told she was brought back into court this morning by my boyfriend. And I said, and I quote, "you know, this is ridiculous, they should just leave her alone since it's the sheriff's fault for letting her go." To which he replied, "yeah, they dragged her away as she was crying for her mommy." Me? I then laughed my ass off and said it was worth her going back because that just brightened my day. Pretty sure I'm slowly but surely making downpayments on a condo in Hell.

Never saw her like this [crying] before. Good shot...

I feel badly for her for being jerked around, thinking she'd gotten to go home and then being sent back - but still. Literally kicking and screaming. Hee!

I have to admit I'm taking great pleasure from it. If they hadn't announced before she even went in that her sentence would be cut in half, I would have thought no big deal, over crowding, let her do it from home. But since it's been such a circus and I truly feel that she should have to deal with the consequences of her actions (as we all should) I'm taking great pleasure in her pain. What's that called - schadenfreude?

I only feel bad about one thing: What (another) giant mockery of the "justice system" this entire charade has been. So she's a spoiled girl that is being made the current scapegoat of 'celebrity justice' - well, sucks to be her. For now - until next week when she's back at home, partying with friends and shopping online for designer clothes and purses that cost more than...my entire wardrobe.

My sympathies rest entirely with the poor, black/hispanic who aren't able to afford to buy off a jury, a judge, a special cell and meals, get a b.s. specialist lawyer, etc. The un/der represented, so to speak.

Laughed a little. Felt bad.

You know I had little compassion for her until I saw that picture. I mean I think she is paying for her crime but really would any of us have the press swarming around our house and car as we got taken to jail?

I had exactly the same reaction. I read the article about how she kept turning around during the trial and saying "I love you" to her parents, and how she was screaming for her mom when they dragged her away.

Honestly, when they let her go, I thought it was a bad idea. She hadn't served a fraction of her time, so what would that tell others about our punishments for crime?

I CANNOT believe how much press this girl gets, she is more popular than BRITNEY and she isn't even a pop star. I'm apparently eating crazy pops over here.

Oh, I made an offer on a piece of investment property IN McKINNEY- can you believe that McKinney of all plaecs. Anywho, it's only 90,000 and so my mortgage will be cheap and it is in the historic part of town and so my property values should continue to climb as growth in that area increase.
