Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 1 Day in Jail
Lindsay Lohan has pled no contest to misdemeanor charges, and will serve 1 day in jail.
Today, Lindsay Lohan pled "no contest" to the following charges - in total, 7 misdemeanor charges were laid for the two separate arrests:
- cocaine possession (misdemeanor drug possession)
- driving with a blood alcohol level over the limit of .08 percent
- being under the influence of cocaine
- reckless driving
A no contest plea is neither an admission of guilt, nor a denial. Two counts of driving under the influence were dropped in the plea agreement.
Lindsay Lohan was not charged with any felony charges. Although Lindsay possessed cocaine on both arrests, the amounts were below the .05 grams required for felony charges. The DA considered Lindsay Lohan to be struggling under her addiction - hence the two very close arrests - but her immediate check-ins to rehab helped as well. Lindsay Lohan’s unstable family condition was a factor as well.
Lindsay made this statement to the judge, and later sent it to TMZ:
"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.
I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so." [bolding mine]
Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 4 days in jail on the charges, but the judge ordered the sentence reduced to two days in exchange for 10 days of community service. Lindsay Lohan was given a day credit for time already spent in jail. Therefore, her sentence is:
- 1 day in jail (to be served before January 18)
- 10 days of community service
- attend 18 months of alcohol education program
- attend a drug program
- stay at Cirque Lodge for rehab for an unspecified amount of time
- 3 years of probation
According to the way the ruling works, Lindsay Lohan will spend less than 24 hours in jail. She can enter the jail late at night (before midnight), and leave early the next morning, as that counds as a "day."
Lindsay Lohan’s attorneys met with the LA County Deputy District Attorney today for an hour to enter the please. The District Attorney says that Lindsay Lohan did not receive special consideration as a celebrity.

This is crazy!!! She is a no body and deverse the punishment as all American citizens… What happens when she KILLS someone… She should be thrown in jail and locked up for about 5 years. Maybe then she’ll learn a lesson!!! Lohan- GROW UP AND TAKE RESPONISIBLITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!!

Overall I think this was a good outcome. Given that some of the facts are sketchy for example I’m very unclear about what really was going on during the second (24 July) incident. Does the guilty plea mean that Lindsay was actually driving the Denali? If so why did the three men allow this? I also note that Blair Berk used the appoach that made sense to me of pleading “nolo contendere” rather than guilty which will force the plaintiff in upcoming civil actions prove things that would otherwise be established facts. At least the sentence has been reduced to a level that shouldn’t be destuctive and perhaps might even be instructive. The fact is however with three years probation any additional relapse will lead to jail without trial. I can only hope that the rehab program is successful.
I really wish Lindsay the very best and look forward to her make some more good movies.

eh — hmm, uhm, Chris?
It’s a sort of moot issue, but could you please cite, chapter and verse, exactly WHICH actions — only the TRUE, FACTUAL actions of which you have full, concrete knowledge — that she should be ” … thrown in jail and locked up for about 5 years”?
Um , Chris, you want to know “What happens when she KILLS someone”? Chris — it’s the same thing that will happen to YOU when YOU kill some one — OK?
So — relax.

Deep — help me out — I’m a little lost with:
a. “Does the guilty plea mean that Lindsay was actually driving the Denali?”
and
b. “I also note … pleading “nolo contendere” rather than guilty”
Was there a guilty plea? If so, would it be only to charges that were NOT dropped; sounds like the two driving charges were dropped, so a plea of guilty — if there was one — would not apply to any driving charges? If that makes sense?

Her statement made me so happy. I know its a statement for the press, and such statements often lack both honesty and originality, but her admittance to being an addict seems like such a breakthrough.
All this time it was like she had been dancing around the issue, but now shes just so forthrightedly said it, and it’s probably the most mature thing she’s ever done. It feels like I was tolerating all her past mistakes, and phony trips to rehab, and still maintaining this interest in her as a fan, just so I could hear that statement one day.
She’s finally starting to become a real human being for me.

Yeah, to Lindsay’s friend, as I see it the driving charges were included in the plea deal including the July 24 incident. The “nolo plea” as I understand it basically means that she doens’t challenge the charges but doens’t admit to them either. It allows the court to treat her as being guilty and sentence her. On the other had in a civil case related to this the can say that she admits to it as established in the previous criminal case. The plaintiffs will still have prove everything themselves. Because there is pending civil actions this could be important later.
Does this mean that she was driving the driving the Denali? Not necessarily. There were two major objective that the legal defense wanted: 1) avoid any felony drug charges and 2) minimized jail time for the misdemeanors. The DA has to save face and show they were tough so the want guilty pleas to a lot of things. In order to accept the nolo they might have wanted more. Also, she could have got more time that she did for just the May 26 incident which is a lot less controversial … she was likely to have been driving her own car. So she pleads nolo to everything. If she really wasn’t driving the Denali she could still go under oath and deny it in a civil case. At this point we really don’t know. I’ve wondered what video might exist. My guess is that there isn’t any that shows she wasn’t driving or the changes would have been dropped. However, it is lilkey that the three stooges are way overstating their side. It is interesting that they haven’t even filed yet.

Feel so sorry for Lindsay. All this is is a result of the media hype and harrasment that follows her everywhere. She is never given one minuites peace, i would go off the rails if everything i did was photgraphed , scrutonised and lied about. What hurts me is that Lindsay is such a talent , with her acting, and her singing , she needs to get back to that.
The constant media frenzy has caused this and i think her parents have to have a good look at themselves, also as for people like Callum best etc drop them all Linz their talentless pathetic semi celebrities who only get noticed when they hang around people like you!

WHEW! — thanks Deep! It sort of gets complicated in a hurry doesn’t it? OK — so what I follow is that there’s still a lot of unknown/unprovable stuff floating around that may or may not get resolved. It looks like overall that may be helpful from Lindsay’s position in that she can’t get nailed for something she didn’t do — or that can’t be proven.
She still needs to let this be the FINAL LESSON in this chapter of her life.
LINDSAY! There should be NO DOUBT in your mind about your present and future relationship to alcohol and drugs — YOU DON’T HAVE ONE!

Harry S, it’s kind of hard recognising someone who you’ve only seen in 2D form your whole life, as an actual human being. I mean, some of you guys have been fortunate enough to meet her, so now you can actually envision her without the surrounding movie frame, or the tabloid hype, things which easily distort her identity.
The glitz and glamour that has perpetually surrounded Lindsay, in addition to the way shes been raised under the limelight, has served to make her existence one that has always been rather surreal to me. At times she was nothing more than an image, a voice, an outfit or a pretty face.
But I find the honesty in her statement to be a beautiful and human-like quality. It’s added a new dimension to her character, for me. I imagine that it takes a lot to admit the truth about yourself in a place like L.A.

I am delighted with Lindsay Lohan’s statement. She has acknowledged her errors, recognized her problems, and appears ready to do what she needs to do to defeat her addictions.
BRAVO
I am also delighted that her attorney was able to arrange for her to plead nolo contendre rather than guilty. Thus, in any civil action which might be brought, the plaintiffs will have to prove their case and can not rely on the plea in the criminal case. This will discourage frivolous litigation, but not any real and provable claims. Sounds like a just resolution from my vantagepoint.
Better still, the conclusion of this case and Lindsay Lohan’s expressed resolution to turn her life around suggests that before long she will be back giving us fabulous performances on the screen. For a Lindsay Lohan fan, what could be better news than to learn that this brilliant talent is on the mend, overcoming her demons, growing up, and poised for the brilliant return we are all awaiting with anxious glee?

Did she confessed guilty or not? I’m confused. If she did, good then, she admitted she did wrong and didn’t lie. I can’t comment about the justice . Not my jurisdiction, but it’s pleasing she didn’t get heavy sentences. She’s still a child i think who needs serious help. She’s doing ok i guess, i just looked into her myspace(i think it’s hers) which said her mood is calm. I’m not putting high hope in this girl, if she does trouble again, i don’t think i’d come here anymore. Anyhow, god bless her. Right on lindsay’s friend and fans ..

As I explained above before the law she actually plead (her lawyer entered the plea which is allowed in misdemeanor cases) nolo contedere or no contest. This has the full effect of a guilty plea in terms of criminal law. But, this cannot be used directly in a civil case as an admission and so the plaintiff will have still develop the facts no use the results of the criminal case directly.
On the other had as stated above she stated: “I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case.” So she is clearly stating that she did wrong.
I happened to buy and watch the “Parent Trap” this afternoon. I also watched the special features. This was Lindsay at the age of 11 who was such a bright and intelligent little girl back then. She is real quite special. She had a complete command of the various techniques of filming and how they were able to show her playing two girls in the same scene.
One wonders why this year she has reached such a crisis in her life. My though is that the on going dirvorce proceedings between her parents might have been the factor that pushed her over the edge. Perhaps subconsciously she was thinking that be getting herself in trouble perhaps it would bring her parents back together to save her. From the tape her father released in which she is saying “Mom still loves you” to him seems to indicate that she wanted them to stay together. So maybe the fact that the divorce is finalized will take some of this stress off of her.
I join everyone here in wish her the best in her recovery!

i think that her statement is sincere and reflects her realization that something is seriously wrong and that she is getting help,and that she is finally seeing some daylight after years of madness in the dark.that’s what it was like for me,struggling alone in the blackness of addiction,just trying to find that one glimmer of light,to lead the way back to sanity.you may have tons of friends,money,status,all the trappings of ’success’,but in the end,you are truly alone in the madness.i think miss Lindsay turned a corner somewhere after the unexplainable events of july 24,and that she is on the road to recovery.i honestly do think that she wrote this statement,as it does sound like her,a bit wiser and more mature,world-weary,and from some of the recent pics,seemingly tired of the stalkerazzi and fame thing.i detected a certain amount of sadness between the lines,and concern that her actions might be having an effect on her siblings.i wish Lindsay the best of health and clarity of mind during her stay in rehab,and that all turns out well with her legal issues and probation.here’s to seeing the incomparable Lindsay Lohan,once again,larger than life,on the silver screen.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

Yeah, all quite on the Lohan front! Perhaps no news is good news. The big worry right now is the three years of probation. Can she keep it together for three years? The July 24th event (depending on the facts) is scary in this context. She does even a fraction of that now and its off to jail al la Paris! Lindsay what ever you do don’t drive! Yes there is the two year suspension of driving privilages. Above all take that one seriously.
Below are excerpts from the OK! magazine article. In it we have pictures of Lindsay dressed in white reading the AA book (…the 12st book from the famous Altman obtituary e-mai!) and meditating. Some nice quotes about her commitment to the rahab program. On the opposite page we have a set of family pictures. This was obviously put together by her people to help sell the plea deal and help “rehab” her public image.
On the other hand in another publication “In Touch” persents a completely different view of her Utah experience. In this view she was caught in some (unspecified) sexual situation with a male patient in a bathroom. It seems that this stricter rehab doesn’t allow such relationships between patients. While the group outings that we seen pictures are part of the program she also worked out on at other times include the one we saw of her and another woman going for a walk that was not permitted. The article claims that she slipped in a cell phone that was against program policy (I don’t know about the policy but we’ve seen her with the phone). As for catchy qoutes this one might be instructive: “I don’t know how long how much longer I’m going to make it here. I can’t relate to any of this.”
Of couse both versions could be true reflecting a difficult process for her.

i have never understood the double standard in the media and general publics perception of celebrities in trouble,as in male and female.kelsey grammer,of seinfeld and frasier,spent twenty years fighting his addictions,including cocaine and alcohol,yet hardly any headlines or press,even though he was arrested too,and went to rehabs repeatedly.what gives?i don’t think it is right that women are treated differently,and this is from a guy.addiction is addiction,whether you are a man or a woman.Lindsay makes some poor decisions and actions and gets villified for it,while guys like grammer and gibson get a couple of articles and fade out quietly.the MADDhatters and the trashloid media haters want to make her the posterchild for their own agendas.you know what really annoys me about this whole mess?all you people that condemn her for doing something that a lot of you do every day or week,that is drive home after a couple beers,a glass of wine or two at the restaurant,etc.puh-leeze,you people stand in sanctimonious judgement of her,but you do the same thing yourselves,but you rationalize it by saying,oh,its only a couple of drinks.nobody goes a restaurant,has a couple of beers or glasses of wine,and leaves their car,because it will be towed or broken into,etc. people drink and drive all over the country and society,but she has to take the rap for it?what a crock,wake up and smell the poo you are shovelling.while i am on this rant,the drinking age should have been left at 18,and never changed.it is why we have so many problems today.at 18,you can vote,drive,have kids,join the military and DIE for your country,but you CAN’T HAVE A STINKIN’ BEER OR DRINK??? the laws need to be changed NOW,and anyway,everytime an 18 year old legally buys alcohol,he or she is paying taxes,supporting this great country.think about that!!!peace

I3roken…The reason for the difference between Paris and Lindsay is very simple. In Paris case she was just at the legal limit of .08 and pled down to reckless driving. She was sentence to probation and attending a DUI class, suspended license. She was caught driving on two seperate occasions driving on a suspended license in violation of probation and had bad luck of the draw in the judge she got. If she had continued to drive she would not have gone to jail.
Lindsay actually got a tougher initial sentence which is reasonable considering the greater charges. In addition to a lot of other things she is on probation as well. Her drivers license is suspended for two years. If she drives during that time and is caught she too will get some jail.
It not as unfair between the two as it first might seem. I very sorry about your mother.

So, Deep — it’s my understanding that the OK article is an actual interview — what is the basis for the “out-of” Touch “article?” I find it sadly amusing, because at one time I was about to post am almost “identical story” (sexual encounters with staff members, unauthorized use of cell phone, use of drugs while in rehab, etc,) JUST SHOW HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE UP TRASH LIKE THAT — AND HAVE PEOPLE BELIEVE IT.
I didn’t, of course, for the very reason that I was afraid people WOULD believe it — and thus more damage for Lindsay. So — as far as the “out-of-touch” article, I see it more as a continuation of the truely trashloid journalism that seems to persist no matter what Lindsay does. They had just lost track of her and didn’t have enough clues to fabricate something that vaguely resembled having any basis for “truth”. Now they have a place, and a few pap photos — that’s enough for them to start the spinning wheels a-turnin’
and spin they have …
Deep Background

The OK article isn’t based on an interview but clearly is based on “friendly” sources. It would be the sort of thing her publists would get out to help support the plea deal. The other acticle is based on sources that “In Touch” developed (or perhaps fabricated). It seems that they talked with someone on the staff or a patient that had just left treatment. It clearly possible that the sexual encounter (with a patient not a staff member) is nothing more than a rumor. The source doesn’t claim to be an eyewitness.
Anyway someone was wanting more news and I just shared. I’m hoping for the best but we should forget that the events of 23-24 July did happen. I’m just a little worried for her.

Aug 27, 2007 at 1:03 am
I’m not, I’m a whole LOT worried for her, If she doesn’t come here, or a place like here, then it’s back to that whole scene of Parties, addictions, drunks, and driving on a suspended license, which would as has been said result in automatic jail time, un-avoidable. The Peer Pressure in Hollywouldn’t is tremendous, to be part of the IN crowd, the Beautiful People who network at parties and schmoose to get the next big deal, to be seen, to be remembered, by casting directors for the next big flick etc. That needs to be done remotely by your Agent, not by You, Lindsay, defined NOT as in you are Addicted to even the SMELL of Alcohol, which would start you drinking again, as the overpowering body craving would set in. As I have said\written earlier, NO Beer in MY Fridge, so here you need to come my Woman, to be held away from the temptation by not associating with people who would say Oh Go Ahead, just one little one, which NEVER stops there, or even becomes ONE LITTLE one. Here or a place like it, You need to be, where your Fame means little or nothing, in a town full of famous people, who won’t hesitate to say NO ( 128 point font on that last word ) to you when necessary, and don’t care about your money, what good was your money, or fame, when you were no longer around to enjoy it ?? and I guarentee you it won’t matter to ME, I don’t and won’t drink, or smoke, and I won’t have Alcohol in this house, or if you smoke, you do it outside on the ( what little there is of it ) porch !! I love You, not for your money, not for your Fame, just for YOU. Period. Well at least give my unwanted and un-asked for advice some thought. GOD Bless You Always, I Love You Always, ME, Larry T Robinson, O.R. Tn. p.s. And if you crave SEX as much as the tabloids say, just know that one of MY great Christian failings is that I am a Sex-aholic.

wtf is wrong with some of you did you not read her charges? i dare anyone of you to get arrested and charged with cocaine possession while driving with a blood alcohol level over the limit of .08 percent and while being under the influence of cocaine and i gurantee that you will be spending more than a day in jail…when will this celebrity justice end? and how can any of you find it fair. I’m a fan of lindsay’s work but i believe she should be treated as everyone else as far as the law and people’s safety is concerned…

It depends somewhat on the jurisdiction as laws very somewhat. I doubt it is really celebrity that does it. However, having a very good lawyer helps. The fact that a person commits themselves to rehab voluntarily helps too. How many of your average Joe’s do that? None because they can’t afford it. Celebrity puts a lot of pressure on the system to make an example of the case. This my well have happen in Paris Hilton’s parole violation.
It probably money more that celebrity in truth. Another factor is that in the recent cases of Paris, Nicole, and Lindsay you are dealing with male judges and hot women. That could be yet another factor that helps!

iyana…perhaps YOU should read all of the stipulations that she must abide by under her sentence before you talk smack about the fans of this highly talented and troubled young lady.i have had quite a few scrapes with the johnny lawdogs and got a total of two actual days in county for two duis,hit and run,drunk and disorderly,public urination,disturbing the peace,discharging a firearm in the city limits(a shotgun at midnight new years eve),and several counts of driving on a suspended license.all told,i got one year probation,in addition to all my fines,classes,high insurance rates,2 years loss of drivers license,and my life ruined for years.now,how did she get your ‘celeb justice’?she has to stay clean and law-abiding for three years(36 mos).i only got i year.plus she has to visit the coroner,speak to people about drunk driving,10 days of community service,18 month drug course,and has suffered publicly and financially,not to mention her career.at least my personal ruin wasn’t blasted all over tv and the trashloid media and the smearNET!!! now,presumptuous one,how can you call it ‘celeb justice’??? i think she has suffered plenty,especially one whose chosen occupation is in the public eye.stop being so judgemental,iyana,and step into her shoes for a moment….peace

Dave makes some very good points that are supported by hard personal experience. One the main things that her attorney achieved in this was to keep the sentencing from going higher as all of the public pressure was in that direction. She was very lucky on the possession charges that the measurements came back under .05 in both cases. Dave are very correct in that the day in jail is just the tip of a very intrusive set of punishments Lindsay will face over the next three years. Just like you Lindsay has lot her license for two years but in her case she can pay to have someone drive her around. I doubt the trip to the morgue will be any fun either! She got to be thing way in the hell did I do this when compared with her life before May 26th!
I finally got around to watching the video of the May 26 and was impressed by how her people handled the whole thing. Interestingly she did have someone drive her to the parties so she was mindful of the DUI laws. For some reason when she got back to her condo she decided to drive off somewhere. The big mistake (other than driving in her condition) was to go to the emergency room. That make it easy for the police to get her. I guess the paparazzi must have called the police because Jaz got the car out of there quick and others wouldn’t have known who’s car crashed.

Iyana, say you have same cases as Lindsay’s. Which penalties would you like? 1 day jail? Or 12 months? Which do you choose if you were in Lindsay’s place? Tell me, sincerely. I guess you like rotting in jail.

I just don’t understand why she only does a day for her list of charges while Lil Kim had to serve a year in prison for perjury that seem sort of crazy to me…i wish lindsay luck and hope that this is her last run in with the law

‘Lil Kim was convicted of perjury and conspiracy for lying to a federal grand jury. This is a federal felony and the punishment is governed my federal sentencing guidelines that are rather rigid. By contract Lindsay offenses were misdemeanor and the state judge has a lot wider choices in sentencing. The cases are totally different.

i would like to add one more observation to this discussion on the sentence of our favorite movie star and entertainment personality,the incomparable miss Lindsay Lohan.i believe the judge chose not to make an example out of Lindsay for two reasons.number one,in solidifying a plea agreement between the attorney,miss berk,and the court,i believe the judge had access to all the FACTS,including test results and documentation from the rehab centers,submitted by miss berk,showing that Lindsay was sober and making progress in all three rehabs.remember,people,that the ONLY things you know about Lindsay in her rehab stays is what those fine folks at the trashloids and smearNET sites,want you to know,lol.and number two,i think the judge took into consideration her celebrity status,and realized that if she could straighten out her life,get clean,and pay her debt to society,she could be a far better example to this generation,of addiction and recovery,than locking her up for a long while and perhaps,negating any positive message or result from miss Lohans recovery.i think the judge was trying to see the situation in a more positive light,rather than some hardcase on the judicial bench,out to make a name for himself.even though the judge was lenient in the jail sentence,he still hammered her on the 36 months probation,in that she has to stay on the good side of the law for three years.well,i wish miss Lohan the best of health and clarity of mind,and hope for progress with recovery and legal issues.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

I can NOT believe this… wtf is wrong here?
Doesn’t California also have the 3 time loser rule as well…. my God! When I had my first DUI and only DUI i had to do 3 days in jail… or screw celebrity justice… all of you who support this reckless careless individual blows my mind! I would love to see her reform and gain control of her life as a recovering addict myself of 10 years … however when recovery has failed that many times in such a short period how can you honestly keep your faith and approve her actions? Tough love come on you idiots… obviously you are all ignorant to what addiction is and are blinded by her celebrity status.. GET A LIFE AND GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!

WTF, You miss the real point. She is very cunning! In one year she as completely wiped away all of her type casting as a “child/teen” star. The fact that you want to put her away testifies to that reality. That mug shot is doing more for her than any audition could do!
