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.

Now I am not saying she is right in this case but celebraties DO get loaned things all the time so we do not know what really happened here.When they go to those awards shows they never have on their own stuff it is all loaner .Who knows what the real truth is.She may not even know at this point.May be used to having things just handed to her at these places and not having to pay for them...like at these award shows,Probably gets confusing.
Reply
all a bunch of bs.. she gets away with everything.. i say teach her a lesson.. its a mockery of the court system and our intelligence..save her life.. we can see she is incapable of doing it herself..Public opinion says its only a matter of time.. yet with each new violation, she gets a slap on the wrist and too many chances to get out of it..would anyone else get to have so many appearances if they violated probation?? I dont think so..

Hd this been anyone of us we would already be in prison...another slap on the wrist for her...she will end up dead before someone sees she is sick

Lindsay Lohan is still young enough to turn her life around and be a decent human being. Judge Stephanie Sautner, on the other hand, is a lost cause. She is obviously not a kid, and she is obviously fantastically stupid. She is also well educated, and when a stupid person acquires a lot of education, they develop an armor of ARROGANCE that prevents them from ever learning. I just hope this miserable, malignant tumor on the American criminal justice system doesn't do much more damage.

Petty theft is a misdemeanor, not a felony. Misdemenaor theft crimes are rarely prosecuted. It is apparent that the DA wants to make an example out of Ms. Lohan. This is all fine and good but if she were just an ordinary citizen, she would probably get unsupervised probation at the most, in a deal worked out with the prosecutor.

The store owner should be on trial for perjury.

And you should be on trial for being so ugly and fat. Just saying.
Lohan is an idiot, spoiled brat, a punk or what you will. But she is not the problem; the problem is the judge! These creeps in black robes are here to protect the society, yet they prostitute to those with money or fame, they legislate from the bench, they apply the law to ordinery people with flaming eyes of a "justice" ... while they bend over backwards for an autograph by some deranged celebrity. THE FREAKING JUDGE SHOULD BE ON TRIAL SEATED RIGHT NEXT TO LOHAN!!!

If Lindsay demands a trial by her peers, she will never have her day in court. 12 and 13 year old girls aren't old enough to be called for Jury Duty.
