The rich ARE different.
But we've known celebrities get their own brand of "justice" at least since the infamous Claudine Longet got off with a slap on the wrist after she murdered her boyfriend, pro skier Spider Sabich back in 1976.
Unfortunately, Paris will still be in the headlines. After all, she hasn't killed anybody yet, unlike Claudine, who is basically a pariah and has never again surfaced publicly after the trial. (Fun fact: She married her defense attorney in 1985 after he ditched his own family for her. He is still alive today, and they both continue to live in Aspen, Colorado.)
Edit: Paris Hilton agreed to wear an ankle bracelet at home for the next 40 days, according to a press conference. Some "medical problem" played a role in this change. She wasn't released but "reassigned" to her home.
