    Default Freedom for Lindsey

    from good old Perez:

    Lindsay Lohan plead guilty to the nine misdemeanor charges - including two DUIs - against her on Wednesday.

    The actresses’ high-powered attorney was able to score a deal with the LA District Attorney that was pretty painless.

    By law, because Lohan plead no contest to two counts of DUI, she becomes a second offender with two DUIs and like Nicole Richie must serve a minimum of four days in jail.

    The judge just said Lindsay will serve 36 months probation and attend an alcohol education program for 18 months for the first DUI.

    As for the second DUI plea, she’s ordered to serve 48 hours in jail. She must serve 24 hours by January 18th. Lohan had already served time when she was arrested and that will count towards her sentence.

    Lindsay must also perform 10 days of community service and she was ordered “not to associate with people with controlled substances.”

    Lohan was not in court today. She’s still on vacation in rehab in Utah.

    On January 18th, Lindsay must show the court that she’s successfully completed rehab.


    Ok...the bold part...umm...she will not be able to talk to anyone in Hollywood then!! Seriously...who does that leave in her circle? Not even her mom qualifies I dont think...she's going to have to live in Utah forever....

    No kidding. How will she be allowed to have a career with that stipulation? That's just too vague...

    ^^thats what I was thinking. Thats completely unreasonable for someone in her situation.I dont know if that means for those 10 days of community service or the length of her probation or what...if it is for the 3 yrs probation thats unreasonable. She wont be able to walk onto a set.

    Prison for a couple of DUIs? There are lots of dangerous people, rapists, murderers and the like to fill up our prisons. Drunk drivers, even under age drunk drivers need treatment. It sounds like she's going to get that. Let's keep it in perspective.

    ^^^ Yeah, because we all know that DUI's are harmless. Until someone is killed. Then we can send them to jail, right?




    EDIT:

    My point is, she hasn't had one or two DUIs, she's had 9 misdemeanor charges. Nine. She needs to go to jail.

    i know the courts and prisons are full, and this obviously may not warrent any prison for the crime (yes it is a crime) she commited, but, heraps they could put in her prison for being so fucking stupid.

    I mean to have that much $$$ and not have a chaffuer?? even if its just when you want to go out at night and party and snort?

    “It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have. I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so.”

    - Lindsay Lohan, in a statement released on Thursday

    Give her a break. She obviously has a problem and is trying to help herself. I swear, the world won't be happy until all of Hollywood's party princesses serve time in jail.

    Um, if they have 9 misdemeanors, I really don't care how sorry she is, she should serve jail time just like any normal person would. Are we getting into THAT issue again? iI don't care if they're party princesses. You can party and not break the law.

    I'm sure the Olsen twins have done plenty of partying, and Scarlett Johansson, etc. But I don't see them breaking the law 9 different ways, or nine different times.

    C'mon. She needs to do her time. It's not even as long as Paris's anyways. She'll be fine.

    Hmmm...addicted entitlement princesses you mean? The ones who drive while fucked up and take other peoples lives into their hands on a reg basis?

    Yeah..jail for them is a good idea. If I was caught MULTIPLE times driving intoxicated AND charged with possession multiple times...I'd expect to go to jail. Why shouldnt they? Because they are rich and pretty? Bleh.

    No wonder these kids are out of control doign whatever they want with no thought to the consequenses. There are NO consequenses for them. A little slap on the wrist and an "I'm sorry" and all is forgiven.

    Then they do it all over again. Hopefully they wont kill someone in the process....

    i agree with LR , but people are so going to bash that statement. another paris argument, anyone?

    people make mistakes, they really do. and yeah, she made a lot of them. she started in the industry so young, and while there are others out there who did, too, there are all ends of the spectrum. some of them are clean and wholesome and whatever else (or so they let us think) and some are worse than lindsey. yes, she endangered peoples lives, BUT NO ONE WAS HURT. yeah, they couldve been. but have none of you ever done something that endangers other peoples lives? speeding, anything? look at her parents and her childhood. she isnt entirely to blame.

    oh, and by the way.. if her career is over due to that "order" about not being around people like that, dontcha think thats punishment enough? more than jail? i sure do.

    I agree that she's made mistakes...and most people when CAUGHT have to pay for those mistakes Why should these girls be any differant? ANd no, nobody got hurt THIS time. The whole point of punishment is to deter them from doing it AGAIN...next time they could kill someone.

    LR..I know you've said multiple times that you see nothing wrong with doing drugs and partying...and if thats what someone wants to do to THEMSELVES..thats fine. When they get behind a wheel or otherwise do something that could potentially make other people pay for those decisions..that is NOT ok. And these girls have more then enough money to have drivers, etc...theres NO excuse for this behavior from them.

    I really don't understand why this has to turn into another Paris argument anyways. It's not like this thread was started in response to an ongoing trial like Paris's where we all speculated what she did and did not deserve, starting and argument.

    Lindsay has already been sentenced and she isn't whining about it like Paris initially did before she sucked it up and realized it was fair. LL mans up right away and she will do her time and service.

    Why are people like me and Cam being told we just want the party princesses to be locked up just because we AGREED with the courts decision? We didn't speculate how she should get more or less, how she's acting like she should get bailed out, etc. None of that.

    Lindsay has taken the high road on all of this, and I think Cam and I are actually stating how we are kind of PROUD of Lindsay and how much better she's handling this. And not only that, she's still continuing rehab! Go Lindsay! I know Paris could benefit from some herself, but she walks around like she doesn't, and it's sad.

    Lindsay doesn't want any outs because she's famous. I applaud her and hope she gets better. Contrary to popular opinion, I love her and her movies.

    Absolutely BrunetteGoddess !! I def. applaud her for going through rehab..and it seems like she is taking it seriously this time. And I'm glad she isnt whining about how her sentance(which is extremely light considering) is unfair.

    I hope that when she gets out of rehab she stays away from the bad inflluences....and sadly I think that includes her mother.

    Yes it is a light sentance. But at least she isnt fighting it or whining about it like Paris initially did.

    Um, I went back and read the replies to this thread again. I think people in here were pretty satisfied, with the exception of G-Real. He was the only one who seemed to think this wasn't enough. Actually, Cam and I were saying how part of the terms were a bit ridiculous.

    Sure the sentence is light, but I actually think the judge did this because Lindsay was already in rehab at the time? Or she had been in and had made it clear she was going back again. That's a good way to show the judge you're serious. And believe me, rehab for addition is punishment in and of itself. It's hard ass work.

    I agree that it's not okay to risk the lives of others when partying. I agree she did something very wrong. She agrees she did something very wrong. She received a 2nd DUI days after getting out of rehab. That is clearly a relapse and indicates a serious addiction. I don't think jail is the sort of treatment she needs. And I really don't think she will make this mistake again. She is un-insurable at this time and if that is not a reality check, I don't know what is.

    She would probably get released after a few hours anyway, just like Nicole Richie.

    Regardless, I wish her the best and truly hope she has learned her lesson. Impaired driving is NOT OKAY in any circumstances.

    Absolutely. I think that considering her profession...ordering her not to be around anyone with drugs is unreasonable and pretty much impossible.

    paris had fewer charges and a harsher sentence. of course lindsey isnt going to complain about a few days. maybe i just dont understand why you guys are "pretty ok" with this case but you werent with paris'. and it wasnt just because she complained. you guys thought she deserved it. (not saying i agree or disagree.) so why are you ok with this one, then?

    I just hope she gets over this and gives us a GOOD movie. I loved Mean Girls and she hasn't done anything like that in awhile.

    ETA: Damn we all responded at once, lol.

    But it was because she complained. Her complaining came from the notion that she should get special treatment because she was a Hilton.

    Lindsay on the other hand isn't like that. It's both surprising and refreshing at the same time. I disagree with Cam actually, I don't think it was light when you factor in the rehab along with it. And she's going into that voluntarily.

    Those are the reasons I am OK with LL.

    When it comes to "simple possession" The federal sentencing guidelines allow for a maximum of one year in prison for a first-time offender, a maximum of two years in prison for a second-time offender.

    Since LL was classified as a second time offender she could have gotten 2 years in jail. So 10 days community service and 3 yrs probabtion(the 1 day jail time doesnt even count since her time waiting for bail counted and she'll likely not see the inside of a jail again) was indeed a fairly light sentance.

    And she went to rehab willingly..but it was part of her sentance as well:
    "Lohan, 21, who starred in "The Parent Trap" and "Freaky Friday," will be placed on probation for three years and serve 10 days of community service. She also must spend at least 30 days in a drug rehabilitation program and complete an 18-month alcohol education program."


    But I'm ok with LL because this is what the COURT determined. Not what she asked for or what mommy and daddy argued and/or bribed for.

    Thats why this is differant then Paris. Paris tried everything possible to get out of being punished at all and even said several times how unfair she thought she was being treated.

    LL is just doing whats asked of her and keeping her mouth shut. Much more adult.The book was thrown at Paris because the few things the court tried to do to let her have a lower sentance(alcohol classes, etc..) she blew off thinking she was above doing ANYTHING. So the judge got pissed at her attitude and increased her sentance...still well below the maximum allowed. They tried to help her out and if she had shut up and done it she wouldnt have served any time.
