Paris: The Outrage

JUNE 8--Los Angeles government officials are being bombarded with e-mail from Americans enraged by the early jail release of Paris Hilton. A sampling of correspondence received in the past day by members of the city's ruling Board of Supervisors can be found below. The 29 letters on the following pages appear representative of the thousands of missives flooding government officials in the wake of yesterday morning's release of Hilton, 26, from a county lockup. The letters blast Sheriff Lee Baca's decision to spring the heiress after only three days in custody, with one correspondent wondering how much Hilton's family paid to secure her release. To no surprise, the word 'travesty' appears in many of the letters. (30 pages)
