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.

122. Maybe its all a joke. What if Hollywood is just playing a joke on all the little people of the world so they can laugh while everyone gets pissed off and questions our legal system? It sure seems like a joke....

123. HAD IT BEEN SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A CELEBRITY, HE OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH EVERYTHING! DRUNK, DRUGGED, HIT AND RUN, COCAINE POSSESSION, ET CETERA! I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND I AGREE THAT OUR LAWS SEEM TO FAVOR CELEBRITIES AND PERSECUTE THE "LITTLE PEOPLE". I AM ASHAMED OF OUR SO CALLED "JUSTICE SYSTEM".

124. EVERYTIME YOU TURN AROUND SHE IS DOING SOMETHING VERY STUPID. JUST BECAUSE SHE HAS THE MONEY AND IS FAMOUS SHE IS GETTING OFF PRACTICAL SCOTT FREE. WHAT IS ONE DAY? IF THE JUDGES WOULD DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO & GIVE THEM THE CORRECT SENTENCE (GO BY THE GUIDELINES)FOR THE CHARGES LIKE THEY DO FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY & NOT FAMOUS. WHICH IS TAKE YOUR DRIVER LICENSE FOR A CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME, PROBATION, JAIL TIME, ETC. PLUS IF EVERYONE WOULD SAY ENOUGH AND LET THESE FAMOUS PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE ACTION THEN MAYBE THEY WOULD STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND NOT DO IT. BECAUSE PRETTY SOON AN LIFE IS GOING TO AN END WHETHER IT IS THEIRS OR SOMEONE ELSES.

125. She got no more than the rest of the reckless irresponsible DUI's or less....DUI laws are a joke everywhere and for most everyone caught. That is fact!!..TO me....You get caught drinking and driving...you loose your license for 1 year the first time...no exceptions, or they take your car...either will be effective....you want to send a message...? But it will never happen because the biggest offenders of the DUI are the ones who make the laws and ...the rest is given.

126. To Katy --

I agree with you -- I don't think Lohan received sufficient jail time. But, Hilton wasn't sentenced for her DUI, which was dropped down to Reckless Driving Due to Alcohol -- her attorney plea-bargained as well. She was put on probation.

The judge sentenced her as a result of a sequence of events: 1) Reckless driving due to alcohol; she was pulled over for speeding, 2) caught driving on a suspended license; 3) driving a second time on a suspended license at 70 mph in a 35 mph zone with her car lights turned off (she was sober that time btw) plus violating her probation for the reckless driving due to alcohol; 4) violating the other terms of her probation, and 5) refusing to take responsibility for her actions in front of the judge.

127. Lindsay who? She'll never make it until all her so-called buddies die!

128. What a waste of time. Just goes to show the rich can do whatever they please with no respect for others. Must be nice.

129. I think that this is an outrage. If it was me or anyone else that done that stuff, we would be doing serious jail time. This is crap. She is so full of sh_t. Do you all see the smirk that she has on her face. This just makes me sick.

130. They should make a serreal life show with Lindsay, Britney, Nichole, Paris and Mrs. Garret (The facts of life)

131. You have got to be kidding me! My god, our justice system is so corrupt. If LA is going to let off all these jackoffs they should require them to finacially support free health care clinics and shelters on skid row. These incredably selfish celebs are endangering the public and should be punished. As long as they don't have to do reg. jail time they could at least make them do something to help poverty stricken areas in the city. What a smack in the face of most of the citizens of America. Because of all these get off easy celebutards, there will probably be many young girls thinking if they can act like dumbasses too.

132. What a joke! I think Lindsay knew she get get off practically free if she went into Rehab before going to court and her and her lawyer have manitpulated the justice system. Forget the 10 days community service - she needs to do hard time! I like Lindsay but she got off way to easy! Compared to ex-con Hilton - we need at least 45 days in the slammer + probation + community service + mandatory substance abuse and family counseling.

133. she must have gave the judge one hell of a hummer!!!!

134. She's not doing any time! NR did 82 minutes and this bimbo will be rushed through even faster-it's just a matter of her ass showing up. This is the CA celebrity justice system. CA sucks!

135. This is BS. In Cali if you're under 21 and you get a DUI you automatically lose your license for a year why isn't that mentioned? She got TWO duis within months of eachother and gets a slap on the wrist. Her community service will probably be signing some autographs for a charity.
