Regardless of whether one thinks she should be or wishes she weren't a celebrity (and how I wish she wasn't!) the fact that she is one makes her case important to the rule of law. The system of law works when it is perceived to be fair to some degree and for her to get special celebrity treatment has a direct negative effect on the law and works like corrosive acid on the law itself. Yes, many don't respect or believe in the law now, but we cannot abandon the effort altogether.The sheriff should have known this: shame on him.
