Paris not appealing … really?

I have always heard that the city Paris has great appeal, but of course this post’s headline refers to this latest AP news that a “day after a tearful Paris Hilton was ordered back to jail, the hotel heiress said she won’t appeal her 45-day jail sentence and is ‘learning and growing’ from her time behind bars.” 

I have an inkling that this story is far from over (and this Fox News Paris Hilton Center can keep folks up to the minute on this obviously very important sentencing story).  But I am definitely intrigued (and perhaps a bit disappointed) that the legal issues raised by this crazy case will not be pressed.  I was already thinking about what sort of amicus brief I might write when the US Supreme Court accepted cert.  (After all, the Justices and their clerks can no longer can rely on the late Anna Nicole Smith to provide appellate litigation eye-candy.)
