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.

Listen closely to a dvd of Inception made before the January 8th Tucson shooting, especially during the dialogue, "Do It."

well when this fool kills someone, the judges, her parents and other friends who were enablers should be charged right along with her... This is insane...She is laughing at the judicial system and we are allowing it.. I will not watch any movie this fool is in. I will not be a part to her earning money to blow it up her nose.. or drink it away

Wait, I'm confused. I thought you could only bail out of jail while awaiting your sentancing not AFTER you get sentanced.

Here we go again prime example of what happens if your so called rich... If that was the case why when they wrote the judical laws didn't they just spell it out. If your just the average joe/jane your screwed if your not rich.

What's digraceful is that our justice system is totally controlled by the almighty dollar. They either ROB A PERSON with high bond fees and house arrest fees before the PERSON is even proven guilty or not guilty. Once proven innocent that money IS GONE and the person proves his innocence only to find himself BROKE and out of a job! On the flip side, if a person is guilty, the justice system CAN BE BOUGHT!!! IT AIN'T RIGHT!!!! NOPE!!! IT'S WRONG WRONG AND FAR FROM FAIR LET ALONE 'JUST'!

This young woman would be prudent to invest her money wisely because I predict she will not age well, and her career is basically over ... she shot herself in the foot too many times.
