I knew a guy in MA who did the same thing. lost the license for DUI , got caught twice driving with a suspended license. He did 3 days. I have heard many say that in california that is typically what people get for the same crime.

It is as wrong to single her out for a longer sentence as it would be to give her no punishment at all. I honestly think the judge should be publicly reprimanded by the governor or whoever oversees these things for not administering justice fairly. The whole incident has further degraded peoples respect for the law as an impartial body that administers justice. Abuse of authority by a public official is serious business. 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.
