I'm surprised so many feel its OK in this case cause they want the spoiled brat to be taught a lesson. There's a reason why the statue of Lady Justice wears a blindfold.

I totally agree. The sheriff said that the typical prisioner serves 10% of their sentence. She got 30 days and was out after 3. I can't figure out why the judge originally said that she should serve the total 30 days actually in jail.
