lindsay lohan jail
A Beverly Hills judge Tuesday sentenced Lindsay Lohan to 90 days in jail for repeatedly violating the terms of her probation, ignoring the actress’ tearful pleas for one more chance.
In a dramatic courtroom showdown, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha N. Revel listened as Lohan promised to do better and defended her failure to attend weekly alcohol education classes and follow earlier orders by the judge.
But Revel was having none if it, offering a list of instances in which the actress lied to the court and to authorities. Revel handed down three 30-day sentences and also ordered her to spend 90 days in a locked-down drug rehabilitation facility — a much stiffer penalty than L.A. prosecutors had sought.Lindsay starred on the movie “I Know Who Killed Me” but since its production she faced a DUI conviction that required her to attend several sessions of alcohol education classes. Now she has a Beverly Hills court hearing to decide whether or not she violated her probation terms for her 2007 DUI conviction. Michael Lohan, Lindsay’s dad will be attending the court hearing with Judge Marsha Revel. If Lindsay is found guilty at the hearing, she will be expected to attend six months in jail.
Michael told Daily News, “I’ll be there to support Lindsay. And if the judge wants to give her jail time, I’ll say that’s not what she needs. Recidivism is so high when someone with a drug problem goes to jail.”
Lindsay’s father says that Lindsay is addicted to prescription medication. He says “ As long as prescription drugs are in the mix, she’ll never be 100% and have her career back. She can get off them with proper treatment, not jail.” Lindsay was given a alcohol monitoring system called SCRAM which was attached to her ankle sometime in May. Lindsay is just 24-years-old but apparently, she’s not concerned. She seems to be unconcerned on the situation and suggests that Judge Revel hates her guts.
