Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 120 Days in Jail

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 120 days in county jail on Friday for violating her probation, TMZ.com reports. She was taken directly from the courtroom to the courthouse for booking.
After reducing
Lindsay Lohan's grand theft case from a felony to a misdemeanor following a day of testimony over a reported stolen necklace, Judge Stephanie Sautner determined the actress violated her probation from a 2007 DUI arrest and was sentenced to jail. She was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service.
Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Holley, immediately filed a notice of appeal and bail was set at $75,000.
As for the case, Judge Sautner decided not to dismiss it altogether but said "I'm going to give her an opportunity" to prove her innocence in a trial.
Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers called four witnesses to make her case that Lohan should be tried for a felony, including the owner of the store where Lohan is accused of theft.
The actress turned down a pair of plea bargain offers in the necklace theft case recently.
Sofia Kaman, the owner of Kamofie & Co., testified on Friday that Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from her store on Jan. 22. She told Judge Sautner that Lohan had been coming into the store all week to look at items, but never bought anything. She waited to report the necklace stolen because the actress had said she'd be back in a day to buy something else.
After a police report was filed, authorities reportedly waited until she was photographed wearing the necklace before deciding to pursue charges. A friend of the actress turned the necklace in to the Pacific Division of the LAPD on Feb. 2.
Lohan claims that the necklace was loaned to her -- and that her stylist simply forgot to return it in time. Kaman says she did not have any agreement with Lohan allowing her to leave the store with the necklace.
Lohan's lawyer Shawn Holley and Kaman got testy at times during the hearing. At one point, Holley noted that Lohan was baring a lot of cleavage that day and questioned why Kaman didn't notice the necklace dangling above it.
"I wasn't looking at her chest," Kaman said. "I was looking at her face."
At another point, Holley accused Kaman of profiting off the incident. "Celebrity sells right?" she asked the store owner, according to
TMZ. She reportedly replied, "It can." Kaman also denied selling a surveillance tape that was later released.
Judge Sautner warned both Kaman and Holley to be more respectful.
Lohan was officially charged during a hearing on Feb. 9. After pleading not guilty, Judge Keith Schwartz lanced into the actress for not taking the charges seriously. "If you violate the law again, I will remand you with no bail," he told her. "Things will be different."
The actress, who remains on probation in a 2007 drunken driving case, is accused of taking the necklace roughly three weeks after she was released from three months of court-ordered rehab at the Betty Ford Center.
The judge who initially handled the necklace theft case has said he thinks Lohan violated the terms of her release, but has assigned the preliminary hearing to Judge Sautner, who could send Lohan to jail after Friday's hearing if she determines there is enough evidence to support the probation violation.

Lohan's attorney is just as screwed up as her client is. I wouldn't want Shawn Holly, representing my dog in court. Dog?? Interesting analogy, isn't it?! LOL!

I would think an employee would be able to keep track of what they show. Isnt it part of the job? Im just saying LILO has a reputation. Wouldnt a clerk be expected to keep both eyes open when she's in the store. Maybe the clerk did let her borrow it;
without getting the owners approval.

No need to worry about our taxes paying for jail time for her. Just like with child-molester L.T. being told if he was charged like a ordinary citizen it would ruin his repuation so no jail time for him eiher. Judges are afraid to ruin their own names by doing wha the law says and by doing their job. You molest a kid or steal something and see it the Judge tells you they will not give you jail time because it will ruin your name.

If I had stolen an item at any local store for that amount, they'd put me under the jail.
Celebrity justice. Perhaps her next offense will cause harm to an innocent individual. She has yet to learn anything from all of her past scrapes with the law. It's time she woke up. Given her record, if she does wake up it'll be in bed with C.S.

Waste of judicial time and effort...Just more of the same special treatment for a low life celeb.

If ther judge drops this down, and somehow, someway this "girl" gets off with a slap on the hand, every attorney in every State of this Ciountry should use this decision in any case of this type for ever and ever Amen!!! If it is good for her, it is good for everyone. In this case it's called, MONEY TALKS, BULLS**T WALKS. So sad this is happening. She is not only sick, she is a druggie and a thief--PERIOD!!!

Why are you all discussing Lindsay Lohan again. Haven't you all figured out that following the law does not apply to Lindsay Lohan. In three months she'll be back in the news again for breaking the law. Why are the taxpayers money being wasted taking her to court when nothing's going to happen to her

Is there any one out there Willing to Uplift Lohan,and be Positive and help her in any Wrongdoings she has done? No not to Belittle her but make and help her see the Light? Have some Heart and give her any Support she may find helpful.She can turnaround like anyone if given the Opportunity.Stop knocking her down,when shes there.Anyone can make a turnaround at anytime.

Please dont lower the charge. This Lohan sleezebag deserves to go to prison for years and lose the keys. This B thinks she is gonna get away with it again. Lock her up and throw away the keays forever.

I think the reason she wanted to do cartwheels was some guy must have unzipped his pants. Trash belongs in the dump, not in court.

or girl!
She said.........She said, I am amazed at the size of a Woman's
Ego sometimes............. !
I would not doubt Lindsay's story at all, business means wearing
the Inventory.........so it is certainly plausible that Sofia would let her wear a necklace for a show off period. Also, that
someone would not return it on time. Also, that Sofia would decide to make an Advertisement out of this incident.
Why would the Store Owner accuse her ? More of the same and then
some.......I have great stuff and the Stars like my Store !
Seems like the Video/Audio would clear the Air on this one ?
