Celebrity Justice
Lawyer's Frantic Move to Save Lindsay

Lindsay Lohan and Blair BerkTMZ has learned that in the hours before Lindsay Lohan was busted for DUI, her lawyer knew she was in trouble and was desperately trying to find her.

Sources say last Sunday, just before midnight, mega-lawyer Blair Berk got an ominous signal. The signal came from the SCRAM device that Lindsay agreed to wear on her ankle. The device tests for alcohol use and sounds an alarm to a designated person when alcohol is detected. We've learned that Berk was the designee.

As soon as Berk learned there was a problem, she frantically tried to locate Lindsay. But time ran out before Berk could stop the runaway train wreck. Less than two hours after the SCRAM device signaled, Lindsay was in custody.

32. HERE'S THE SCRAM WEB SITE:

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/index.html

"Welcome to the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor, or SCRAM–the world's only alcohol testing ankle bracelet that automatically tests for alcohol consumption every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This breakthrough in electronic monitoring technology has revolutionized the way courts, agencies, and alcohol treatment centers assess, detect, and deter problem drinkers. Today, continuous alcohol testing means continuous accountability, around-the-clock detection, and the most effective level of deterrence available today."

34. It's obvious that Berk submitted this story to cover her ass, thus relieving herself from any responsibility. For there are those who say she was drugging it in Rehab - WTF???

37. Before, they were saying that it malfunctioned or CokeLo took it off. Now all of a sudden it worked? GMAFB. Stupid lawyer - she's in it for every last $$ she can get just like CokeLo's mother HoLo.

Why is'nt she being charged with attempting to bring contraband into a jail facility?
***************************************************************************************
Yesterday it was said that she is not being charged for that because she wasn't trying to deliver it to a prisoner. The arresting officer should have patter her down and forund it before he brought her in.

39. Can't save her from herself

Posted at 2:29PM on Jul 25th 2007 by Here we go again

40. She will be dead by January 1st 2008.

She will serve a 5 year prison sentence as a result of 2 DUI's and the felony cocaine charge

She will not be able to handle life on the inside, therefore committing suicide

41. Crash and Burn Lohan... there always has been, and always will be, people who feel the need to use drugs/alcohol instead of facing life, and themselves. Anti-depressants are the most prescribed drugs in this country, and who can even count the number of alcoholics/addicts, really? It's sad but true, you can't save them all. That could happen in the future sometime (a NEW drug, maybe!), but meanwhile, lives will be lost and lohans is no more precious than anyone elses....

42. I'm glad to hear a responsible adult is caring for her - at least trying. I would do it for free. This is a beautiful human being with an addiction problem. Do any of your idiots care about anothers life? I think some of the pickled brain idiots that send in comments seem more of a trainwreck than these girls. Let's put the cameras on all you and see what a joke you would be. Oh, and as far as the pickle brain #13 you were probably "court ordered" to wear a bracelet. Are you really that stupid or killed too many brain cells? LiLo was "voluntary" do you understand the difference? I will pray for this child and yes I say child because I have same age child. Just because these young people are "of age" doesn't mean they do not need guidance. people have a heart would ya!!!!! I would help this girl for free!!!! She is worth saving. I know she broke the law and deserves punishment but is jail gonna help her with addiction - I think not. I pray God takes this girl in his loving arms and saves her from herself and family - not to mention the hateful comments.

DON'T JUDGE THESE PEOPLE WITH ADDICTION PROBLEMS - WOULD YOU MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE WITH CANCER? THEY BOTH KILL!!!!!!!
