Lindsay Lohan Posts Bail, Leaves Jail

By Christine Fenno Posted Apr 23rd 2011 09:16AM

Once a bondsman put up $75,000 in bail to free Lindsay Lohan on Friday night, TMZ reports that the actress walked out of Lynwood Correctional Facility after almost five hours in custody.

The actress, 24, was sentenced earlier in the day to 120 days in jail, plus 480 hours of community service for probation violation (stemming from a 2007 DUI). In January, Lohan had just completed three months of court-ordered rehab when she allegedly walked out of a jewelry store with a pricey necklace, leading to a theft accusation and her latest legal drama.

The judge on Friday reduced Lohan's felony charge to a misdemeanor, but ordered her immediately into custody and set a trial date. The court was reportedly swayed by surveillance video, which allegedly shows a friend of Lohan's acting as a decoy to distract a boutique owner, while the actress slips on a necklace. Lohan has insisted she had permission to borrow the bling, and has blamed a forgetful stylist for neglecting to return it promptly.

Lohan left the detention facility after sundown on Friday in a black SUV, with a sheriff's vehicle escorting hers off the premises. She's due in court May 11 for a pretrial hearing (back in February, Lohan declined a plea bargain, spurring her judge to warn "this case involves jail time"). Her booking in Lynwood is reportedly the fifth time she's been processed and released there.

The community service portion of Lohan's latest sentence requires her to spend 360 hours at the Downtown Women's Center (so she can "see how needy women have to live," according to TMZ) and another 120 hours at the Los Angeles County morgue.

Why is the justice system not telling Lohan to take responsibility for her actions and throw the book at her. If the same events happened to a non-celebrity or someone with less notoriety, you can be sure they would have been sitting in jail for 45 to 90 days the first time around. She has been given so many breaks and no one is showing their love by telling her they will not bail her out any more. She needs to stand on her own two feet and face her problems and do something about it.

Another example of a Judge "bought and paid for"

By STAR

Hey Lohan....How much did you have to kick back to the judge?

I guessd you will have to kill someone's kid before an "HONEST" judge throws your worthless druggie/drunk arzzz in jail for fifty years.

As for anyone who hires you, or has hired you....I hope they go broke.

Leave this young girl alone...You'd think she was a notorious bank robber the way this stupid judge is treating her. Go get the real criminals judge. This is such an obvious case of a phony jeweler wanting to cash in on her celebrity status.....and for this stuoid judge not to see this is ridiculous...

By Lisa

I agree, but Im not counting on it. Not when she has so many parasites around to constantly cover for her.

By Pasavo

I have an idea! How about locking her up and then "accidentally" losing the key????

By GLORIA

bill........you must be a relative so,blow it out your ear.
When this constantly enabled "criminal in the making" kills someone while driving drugged out I hope it's you.

I like some of the things Trump suggests, but they aren't politically correct, so people won't accept them. People like to be told lies, believing that things will get better. Remember the Obama primaries and his "change"? Well, we realize how that has gone.

By KC MacLeod

Be fair about Obama! He promised change...and change is about all I have left in my pocket since he took office.

wrong. your dumb azz was already broke!

The only "change" that's happened is to Obama. He promised "change" and we got it, just not exactly as we expected.

What does this have to do with Lindsay Lohan? Oh yeah,I forgot. The Obama haters will use any excuse to spread their hatred. Happy Easter!

The teflon skank.

By J.E.B.

BTDT, you nailed it! It seems that NO CHARGES ever stick to this trasin wreck of a human being. She always gets off lightly, gets chance after chance after chance, no taking of responsibility, no remorse for her crimes.

By cj

OK...quite frankly I just don't care anymore. They should just lock her up and "throw" away the key. Or better yet, deport her and her damn family. So sick of hearing about these losers with nothing better to do than "throw" away all of their opportunities, opportunities that most of us will never have even if we deserve them!

By ekranking

OMG, this is so annoying! Can they just keep HER in jail for ONCE, so we can have a break from HER for a while?!?! They know Lindsay will do the crimes ALL over again, so what's the point of letting her go?!?!

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

I call on everybody reading this who DOESN'T like Lindsay Lohan, to boycott any future movies that she makes, including her "Gotti" movie. She's got to go!

By RAS

I am shocked a director would even want to deal with her after all this. This guy must be desperate. I will never spend 1 cent on anything L.L is involved in and I cancelled my cable three years ago because I got fed up with the reality trash I had to pay for that I do not want. Sadly too many americans are addicted to the boob tube and the crap that oozes out of that cesspool called Hollywood.

By DAVID

why would anyone hire her anyway?
