Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail for Probation Violation
Jul 6, 2010
by Kate Stanhope

Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail Tuesday for violating her probation.

The 24-year-old actress, who cried in court during the sentencing, was also ordered to complete a 90-day inpatient substance abuse program by Judge Marsha Revel.

Lohan was found in violation of her probation after missing seven Alcoholics Anonymous classes during a 27-week period. She has been on probation since August 2007 after pleading guilty to drug charges and no contest to three driving charges.

In May, Lohan was ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet after missing a mandatory court hearing.

Lohan will continue to wear the court-ordered bracelet until she surrenders for jail on July 20 at 8:30 a.m. Lohan will serve her time at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., where she previously served 84 minutes behind bars in 2007.

Before her sentencing, Lohan stood up to appeal directly to Judge Revel and said she had been led to believe she was in compliance with the program.

"As far as I knew, I was being in compliant with my Right On program. When I would ask to leave town, they would give me permission to leave town," Lohan said.

"I did do everything I was told to do."

Lohan teared up in court and said that if she had known she was violating her probation, she would have done things differently.

"I'm not taking this as a joke. It's my life, it's my career," Lohan said to the judge. "It's just been such a long haul and I don't want you to think that I don't respect you and your terms."

Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said Lohan is determined to finish her mandatory classes and is currently "ahead of track to finish the program."

Prosecutor Danette Meyers, however, argued that the court had failed to catch Lohan's attention. "I appreciate the tears, but I don't think you've caught it," Meyers said.

Before the sentencing, Judge Revel said she couldn't have been more clear about what she expected from Lohan to finish the program. "Nowhere did I say substantial compliance would be good enough," she said.

Although he did not testify, Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, was present at the hearing and submitted a letter to the court asking that his daughter be ordered to inpatient rehab and that her prescription drug use be carefully monitored, according to TMZ.

Additionally, in an e-mail to TVGuide.com, Michael Lohan wrote, "Our position is Lindsay does NOT need Jail, she needs rehab," he said.

I really hope this will be a wake-up call for Lindsay Lohan and she will use this as an opportunity to turn around her life.

dlemond · 07-06-2010, 09:34 PM

Not sure if Lindsay really knows what rock bottom is.

I seriously believe this will not be the wake up call.
She will absolutely be in trouble again before the end of the year.

If anything, she'll probably come out of this whole experience with an attitude.

Who is she kidding with those excuses? She was absolutely out there involved with the wrong element and partaking in who knows what.

catlover79 · 07-06-2010, 09:55 PM

^ I agree. She just doesn't seem to get it.

Janice · 07-06-2010, 10:05 PM

The judge is probably saving Lindsay's life. How many young Hollywood performers have ended up in a bad way. Lindsay became famous very young, and that's difficult for some to handle. Her parents battling didn't help matters either. She may come out of this. Britney Spears was on a real downwood spiral, yet she's back on track today. I wish Lindsay the best.

Brieannas21 · 07-06-2010, 10:11 PM

Even though I don't really like her, I have to say that I actually felt bad for her. Maybe it's just my hormones, who knows. The girl needs a whole new set of friends and her mother also needs a wake up call.

catlover79 · 07-06-2010, 11:19 PM

From the footage I've seen of her lately, she looks so awful. Her skin looks like its aged before its time, her eyes are bloodshot and she just looks so spaced out. If she's not careful, she'll end up like Andy Gibb or Chris Farley or John Belushi.

Retro4Life · 07-06-2010, 11:23 PM

While I think she needs some serious attention, and perhaps even jail time, I don't understand (and never will) this tendency everyone on the news has to enjoy watching someone's life unravel. It is OK because she's young and rich and "hot"? Is it just backlash against her celebrity? Jealousy? I dunno.

She's obviously headed toward hurting herself or someone else or both, so she needs something fairly drastic to help her alter her course, because she's obviously not doing it herself.

But I kind of grow tired of the snickering and the joy over her (and others') disintegration.

catlover79 · 07-06-2010, 11:30 PM

For her sake and the sake of those close to her, I hope she does wake up and turn things around before it's too late. But she's 24 years old now and has to take responsibility for her actions. I know that her parents didn't help and (especially in the case of the mother) see/saw her as a meal ticket. She needs to get in touch with Paul Petersen (The Donna Reed Show), who runs A Minor Consideration - which helps child actors, past and present, try to live normal lives and turn things around. Plus, Mr. Petersen really cares about his fellow child actors and wants to help. You can tell by his writings:

Sadly I have to admit Lindsay doesn't appear to have learned anything or have made any changes at all in her life. She is headed down a very dark road if that doesn't change very very soon.

Even her lawyer quit?? Wow!!

I'm glad she got 3 months in jail. LOL@her crying when she heard the judge's decision hahahahahahahahahahahaha. That's what her ass gets for constantly getting in trouble. It seems like she's in the newspaper every week for doing something stupid hahahahahahahahahahaha. That's nice of her dad to wanna help her change her ways and her mom acts like her ex-husband isn't doing a good thing. Her mom got some issues too. Her acting career is over. So she might as well start looking for a job when she gets outta jail LOL. Nobody watches her movies. So she needs to get another career.
