Celebrity Justice
Lindsay Cops Plea! -- She'll Do Time

Lindsay Lohan will not stand trial for DUI -- but she'll do a teeny tiny amount of jail time.

She just struck a deal by pleading no contest to two counts of DUI (driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher). By law, Lohan becomes a second offender (with two DUIs) and must serve a minimum of four days in jail. But the judge cut that in half by ordering her to perform 10 days of community service in lieu of two of the days. He also gave Lindsay one day credit for time served when she was busted. That means she gets a grand total of one day in jail.

Lohan also pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of a controlled substance (two separate incidents) -- both misdemeanors. She also pleaded no contest to reckless driving.

The judge said Lohan will serve 36 months probation and attend an alcohol education program for 18 months.

As to the controlled substance plea, Lohan was ordered not to use controlled substances. She's also required to enroll in a drug program. She's also required to stay for an unspecified amount of time at the Utah facility where she's currently in rehab.

Lohan was also ordered "not to associate with people with controlled substances."

On January 18, Lohan must show she's successfully completed rehab.

61. Yes, I'm sure addiction is tough. But try using that defense if you kill someone while under the influence. "Addiction is tough" is not going to help those family members sleep at night.

62. Regular people receive sentences like this all the time but you don't ever hear about it because they aren't celebrities!!

Duh. People get away with crazy stuff all the time but you don't hear about it because they are normal people. It is incredible ignorant to assume this is out of the ordinary when you don't even know what IS ordinary.

63. An excellent decision by the prosecutor; addiction can not be cured by jail it will only get worse.

What this really proves is how corrupt and disgusting the judge who sent Paris to jail is. She got 23 days for driving without a license while Rocky’s wife only got a fine for doing the same thing over and over again for months. He ripped off the state for the repair on the vehicle she damaged and has not been made to answer to anyone and is still a lawyer.

66. Bodo is right.

Lohan is skating on some thin ice. If she violates probation, she will got a LOT more jail time than Paris did for violating her probation.

67. That's such crap. I guess it is true...Celebrities are above the law.

68. This is to silly. Celebs should get the same treatment ,no more and no less.
I find it hard to believe in the other world out here,lets pick, suburbian Covina or Pomona, that a person speeding troughthe streets, reckless endangermentofothers,cocaine found on them, past DUI's , past rehab pr visits, etc., would be let off and let go nice and easy like this girl.
I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT PARIS HILTON WAS SENTENCED not for DUI, but PROBATION VIOLATION DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LIC. Come on, driving on a suspended driver's lic. is worth more time and than what LOHAN did !?!??!?!?!? COCAINE!!!!!! FOR CHRIST"S SAKE!!!!!!

NEXT, I am betting you that Nicole Richie gets out of her four days which she seems in no hurry to do. She has traveled out of state to NYC. She can probably even go out of the country. I BET NICOLE IS going to have her doctor's , in time, put her on bed rest, say her life and the life of her unborn child is in danger, and Nicole will recieve 0 Zero days!!!! That was her purpose in getting pregnant anyway.
Wait and watch and see. I am telling you so now.

69. Shhhh, be perfectly quite if you listen hard enough you will hear the slaps of High Fives as Wonder Woman and Her fellow Campers in UTAH rejoice and Celebrate the obvious. Oh and I'm sure she also is giving the system a 2 gun salute!! Good times ahead, good times.

When my Cat >^..^< speaks people listen.

70. Alan good for you that you learned your lesson. Stay on the right path. Make amends to those who you hurt or whatever before. Avoid the wrong company. Good for you. You got a second chance. MAKE IT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

71. #60 Alan:

Oh well if it is that simple then you must have it all figured out! Congrats.

So, would you care to explain why so many people develop addictions in jail. And why is it that most people in jail for drug offenses violate AGAIN and AGAIN even after 30 days in jail.

I do congratulate you for your personal recovery. I wish you the best. But to say that that would work for everyone is naive and ignorant.

72. We've witness again a failure of the LA legal system and other law enforcement agencies pacifying Hollywood. Lindsay is laughing at all of us! This reinforces all celebrities thinking they're royalty and we're treated as the modern day peasants. This has been going on since early 1900s and we society have failed to marginalize this minority as undesirables. Remember, they only provide a short-lived fantasy service. Just look at them like the guy changing the oil in your car. The day Lindsay dies I will have a smile on my face.

WRONG. Rocky's wife has a lousy driving record, and all of the things she did happened before they were married. SHE is a grownup and she is responsible for her own behavior. Rocky has been elected twice and none of this was brought up until he put Paris in jail for violating her probation two times.

They were brought up now because Rocky had the nerve to send Paris Hilton to jail.He violated the rule that says that celebrities can do whatever they want. And Rocky was swiftly put in his place for it. They don't want him to run for DA.

Hollywood controls LA, and they want a DA like Steve Cooley. They don't want Rocky because he won't give celebrities a break. That's what they fear because so many of them are druggies and criminals.

Get a clue. The media in this city will destroy anybody who threatens their power.

74. Alice you have to have hard justice in this country, if you want the majority of the people in this country not to commit the same crimes again and again. 30 days for driving on a suspended license (think about it) that's all I did. I was in County for 30 days through xmas 2006.

I did not do 8 hrs or 2 days 30 DAYS !!!! do you know what it's like, it's like a concentration camp in there except you have to watch you back every secons.

IF YOU HAVEN"T BEEN IN JAIL FOR AT LEAST A WEEK YOU DON"T KNOW THE EFFECT IS HAS ON YOU

HAHAHA

Get a clue. If she violates her probation NOTHING will happen to her. I live here and I have NO FAITH in the DA or in my city's justice system. It's corrupt. I wish I could MOVE!
