Could Paris Hilton's attorneys argue that it's Double Jeopardy if she gets sent back to jail? Explain.

I hope she gets sent back and Baca and her Dr. Sophy get punished too!
Answers:
Double Jeopardy has to do with being tried for the same crime twice, which has nothing to do with Paris Hilton's dilemma.
AAAAAHHHHH!!!
no. Double Jeopardy isn't possible in DUI and Alcohol related situations.
I thought double jeopardy only applied to murder cases, but I'm not certain. She's not going back to jail. I'm sure there are a lot of probation violators who'd like to be transferred to house arrest in her house. Talk about a double system of justice!
Double Jeopardy means that you cannot be tried on the same charges more than once. If she violates the terms of her house arrest, then she could be sent back to jail.
Double jeopardy only applies to convictions, not resent back to prison for the same conviction.
Enough with this BOZO! Who Cares!
She was sentenced to 45 days in jail. That still stands if there is any violation. There is no double jeopardy. A judge can change his mind about house arrest at any time.
Oh I am so sick of it all, who cares shes rich and has special treatment . If it was me they would not care so why waste time over a spoiled rich girl..I just did for the last time!
No she was already convicted. Going on house arrest is similar to being paroled. She violates and she'll be back in jail.
It can't be Double Jeopardy because she's only done a few days of her sentence.AND she would have to do the crime EXACTLY as the original .
Double jeopardy just means you can't be tried twice for the same crime. Once convicted, the sentencing aspect isn't applicable. People violate parole and probation all the time and get put back in the slam.
If she was improperly released than she can be sent back.
The entire "Paris" psyops is to raise the dismal Zionist controlled media; people finally have learned the media has no truth, news, and very little of any value.

Zionists control the media, judicial system, Congress, and the idot-in-charge.

Proving once again that there is one set of laws for the ultra rich, and another entirely for the rest of us.
No. Double jeopardy does not apply. That term is in reference to when you get acquited of a crime, and they go after you again for the same crime. Simply, they try to convict you twice of the same crime. I believe her hearing on friday is just to determine how she serves the rest of the sentence. Hopefully she gets thrown back in the slammer. I can't think of anyone else who greater emphasizes a thoughtless, brainless, annoying twit.
I'm going against the grain here, but I think her lawyers CAN make a compelling case of double jeopardy in Paris Hilton's re-incarceration.

Technically, double jeopardy is applied to a defendant being tried twice for the same crime, which is illegal in the US Constitution, as well as California's constitution. A logical extension of that protection is that a defendant cannot be SENTENCED twice for the same crime.

As I understand it, she was sentenced to 45 days, later reduced to 23 days. She served 5 days and was reassigned to home confinement for the rest of the 23 days.

Paris didn't decide any of this. These decisions were made by the sheriff. Regardless of the reasons for the decisions, the sheriff has the authority to make them.

The prosecutor and the judge were pretty steamed about this, so the judge hauled Paris back into court and threw the book at her, expanding her sentence back to 45 days and ordering her back to jail.

There is a constitutional question here about whether the judge overstepped his authority by reversing a decision by the sheriff...since the judicial branch(the judge) and the executive branch(the sheriff) are supposed to be equal.

There is also an equal protection question here about what exactly Paris did to violate the terms of her home confinement...as far as I know, she did nothing wrong after being released from jail; she was released by the sheriff who had the authority to do so; and the judge gave no justification for re-expanding her sentence back to 45 days. If the judge has a problem with the sheriff, he should charge the sheriff with contempt of court, not deal a hammerblow to the defendant who was following the sheriff's orders.

So, if I were her attorney, you bet I would be appealing the sentence based on double jeopardy. I'm predicting that appeal will be successful, too.
