Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo Criticizes Paris Hilton’s Early Release
Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo is joining Rev. Al Sharpton as the latest high-profile official to criticize the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department decision to release an “emotionally ravished” Paris Hilton from custody after serving just three days of a forty-five day original sentence.
“Today I was extremely troubled to learn that the Sheriff’s Department has decided to release Ms. Hilton from custody just three days after she was admitted to county jail.
My office was not advised of this action. We learned of it this morning through news reports, just like everyone else. Had we been provided with the proper notification, we would have opposed the decision on legal grounds.
News reports indicate that the Sheriff’s Department released Ms. Hilton to house arrest due to a medical condition. This explanation is puzzling. Los Angeles county jail medical facilities are well-equipped to deal with medical situations involving inmates.
I am also concerned that the judicial process may have been improperly circumvented in this case. Ms. Hilton was incarcerated as a condition of her probation. As a result, the judge retained jurisdiction over her case and only the judge has the power to modify these conditions of probation. If Ms. Hilton’s medical condition truly warranted a change in her circumstances, what should have happened is the following: Ms. Hilton’s legal counsel should have filed an emergency application with the court and provided my office with the opportunity to respond, and then the court could have held a hearing on the matter to consider whether there was sufficient justification to change the terms of his original order.
I have directed my criminal branch to immediately explore all possible legal options to ensure that the law is being applied equally and justly in this case.

Antonio Villaraigosa just recently announced separation from his wife of 20 years & that he takes full responsiblity of his failed marriage. Not surprised at all that he’s has been involved in a realationship with another woman & that his split from wife is due to Mirthala Salinas. He has known history of infidelity & wominizer. In 1994, the mayor and his wife had separated, while his wife had been battling thyroid cancer, and filed for divorce after she found out that Villaraigosa had an affair. After the Mayor learned that LA Daily News were planning to go public on his affair with Mirthala, Antonio immediately decided to go to the public and acknowledge the relationship after months of dodging questions about the breakup of his marriage. Antonia Villaraigosa and Mirthala Salinas have appeared together at several Latino events. So it’s understandable why he no longer wears his wedding band and has not been seen in public with his wife in months. In addition to that the major is highly known for taking trips out of town. As a matter of fact Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa & City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo are two very untrustworthy Latinos in office. It was announced recently in the news paper that “Rocky Delgadillo was joining Rev. Al Sharpton as the latest high-profile official to criticize the LA Sheriff’s Department decision to release an “emotionally ravished” Paris Hilton from custody after serving just three days of a forty-five day original sentence.” Rocky is a pure phony who went after Paris and quickly shut his mouth after the big scandal of his wife inappropiately used a city vehicle SUV & crashed it, while tax payers paid to have vehicle fixed. Although the City Attorney reimbursed monies back after this incident was revealed. It’s a know fact that Rocky & his wife were operating vehicles without having car insurance for years. Mrs. Delgadillo recently had several unpaid fines that had not been paid in years & driving on suspended license.
