Lindsay Lohan gets 120 days in theft of necklace

[LA Crew]

The actress pleads no contest to a misdemeanor. Because of jail overcrowding, she's expected to serve only a fraction of the sentence, either in jail or on electronic home monitoring.

Lindsay Lohan pleaded no contest Wednesday to misdemeanor theft for stealing a gold necklace and was promptly sentenced to 120 days in jail ? time she may be eligible to serve confined to her Venice home.

Because of jail overcrowding, the 24-year-old actress is expected to serve only a fraction of the sentence, either in jail or on electronic home monitoring, beginning June 17. Her attorney Shawn Holley entered the no-contest plea at the Airport Courthouse on her behalf in connection with the Jan. 22 theft from Venice jewelers Kamofie & Co.

She is so fucking hot

This whole thing with Lindsay just goes to show how fucked up the legal system is. I understand they want to show that stars don't get special treatment, but this is ridiculous.

First off, after her hearing where she entered a plea of not guilty she was found to be in violation of her probation and sentenced to 120 days. Her lawyer appealed and that is the only time she is going to get. During that heard her charges were dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor. However, her bail while out on appeal was set at $75K. There are people that get arrested a dozen times for a variety of much worse crimes and and get a bail of around $10-$20K. They spent tens of thousands of dollars (maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars) on this case all for what? She will sever a couple of week on house arrest and do some community service?

The idea about the law is that it is there to serve the public interest. I think it would have better served the public had they just ended this quickly and used that money to go after people who were actually harming the public.

Can you please cite examples where ppl do much worse crimes and have lower bails? Sometimes judges like to make examples of people, esp those who keep breaking the law and think they can get away with it b/c they are rich. judges are human and get pissed when little rich white girls keep fucking up and act like it ain't no thing.

plus you get the bail returned when you show back up at court, its not like they keep it.

[Spunky]

All thieves should be executed

[mikesinner]

Poor Lilo I would have let her off with just a BJ.

[marlboroack]

I thought she has a lot of cash and such already, why is she getting so much attention and being quite the little fuck up? I thought people were looking at her as a successful female. Now people are looking at her as a peice of shit dick sucking cum spitting shit eating cheap whore/hooker.

[marlboroack]

Nice way to think about it, what about scammers? Same?

[pornguy]

She will be sent directly home.

Reason for over crowding in the jails?? Normal people for the same offense got 3 to 10.

[HomerSimpson]

love her lips on this pix...

[mikesinner]

love her lips on this pix...

That's her please don't send me to jail. I'll blow you look. She's a great actress.

[Just Alex]

Will be out in 2 weeks because Cali jails are "overcrowded".

Sure, you get it back, it just seems a little high. It isn't like she is a flight risk, the girl goes anywhere and people recognize her or she has a group of paparazzi following her.

This is site says the average bail for DUI is $15K. If it is DUI with an accident it normally is around $50K

This guy claims the average bond in cali is around $20K


Here is the most telling of the group. It is a list of average bond prices in Los Angeles. Among them: Burglary: $50K. Battery on a police officer causing injury: $50K. Assault with a firearm $50K. All kinds of embezzling: $20K. Perjury: $25K. Incest: $50K. When you get down to theft, even auto theft is only $50K.

I understand these are averages and I'm not defending Lindsay, she was stupid and seems to really refuse to admit that she has done anything wrong and fix her problems. I'm just saying had this been me once the charges were filed likely they likely would have reduced the charges without a trial and offered me a deal and none of this would have ever gone to trial. It would have been one meeting and it would have been over because that is what is in the public's best interest. Dragging Lindsay into court and spending 100s of thousands of dollars of the public's money so that a judge can scold her and give her a sentence that everyone in the room knows she won't serve is just wasting time, money and resources.

[grumpy]

no 3 strikes out for her

[alexchechs]

I think its actually really sad what she did to her face. Those lips look scary

Since it's a waste of money, how should we punish a habitual law breaker who has no respect for any aspect of the justice system? Lets not forget her finger nail that had "fuck off" on it.

Judges are big on respect and that is what Lindsey lacks. Her actions in the past are taken in consideration when new bails are set. Yeah, it sucks and costs the state and the taxpayers money, but until you come up with a better way to punish people, we are stuck. Personally, I think a good public caning (ala Singapore) would be a much better course of action.

75k might seem high for one charge. My last bail was at 100k but I did a bit more than steal a necklace. However, don't forget that Judges like to make a point and I'm sure the bail was high based on who it was. Maybe she'll stop acting like a brat and grow up.

[american pervert]

3 strikes only apply to felony charges.

[blackmonsters]

I can't think of anyone else who could fuck up this much and only get 120 days.

Oh well but there is Paris Hilton; she dropped here cocaine right in front of the cops
and didn't get jail time.

[stephane76]

her plan was to get caught...to meet all the ladies in prison ;)

was thinking the exact same thing

I'm not saying she shouldn't be punished. I'm simply saying that they are wasting money, time and resources with how they are going about it. As I said, if it were me who did this the odds are the entire thing would have been handled with one meeting and I would have either been sent to jail or had my probation extended or whatever the punishment was going to be and the only involvement a judge would have had would have been to hear my plea and the sentence me to the agreed up on punishment and/or add to it for violating probation.

In this case it seems like the prosecutor has had a personal vendetta against Lohan and had been hell bent on making an example of her simply because of who she is. She isn't the first person to disrespect the court or violate her probation, but this whole thing has become a spectacle with each side trying to one up each other. Had it been me or any other anonymous person chances are the prosecutor would have reduced the charges and offered a reasonable plea deal right from the start, but this one was hell bent on sending Lindsay back to jail at all costs.

I have a few friends who are cops in my town and they talk about how there are some people who have been arrested many times, often over a dozen times, for similar things and yet they get very little bail, never go to jail and get a million second chances. I'm not saying that is right either, but the system should be consistent for everyone no matter who you are.

I do. Long ago I worked with a guy who had three different arrests for DUI and was on probation for those. He then got arrested one night for beating up his girlfriend, taking some of her jewelry and pawning it without her permission.

After all the pleas were done he ended up getting his probation extended by two years and was sentenced to 90 days in jail which he served about 25 of.

[Tempest]

They need to throw her in jail for awhile.

[MetaMan]

She's hot, let her do wtf she wants. Only ugly women and guys with an ugly wife complain about her.

For Lindsay, yes I like this idea. Televised. Maybe make it pay per view, they could actually make money on the otherwise so-called huge waste of taxpayer money spent trying to teach this celebu-wench a lesson.
