That tells you the kind of example her parents have set for her to follow. However, she is now an adult, and free to make her own decisions. As far as I can see, she has chosen to make the wrong ones thus far.

By no means am I perfect, nor is anyone for that matter, and I certainly won't be the first to cast a stone at anyone, but we all seem to learn from our mistakes. She obviously hasn't, and maybe this stint in the big-house will help with that. Did the time fit the crime? Maybe not, that's a moot point. But in this society when there are impressionable celebrity obsessed young people who, for whatever reason, idolize and look up to "Young Hollywood," maybe this will serve as a reminder that there are repercussions for breaking the law (especially more than once), and will deter the young 'uns from following in her footsteps. Well, one can hope, anyway.

One last question: Why don't these wealthy folks hire a driver? Is that not a simple solution?
