Lindsay Lohan Scared of Jail, Seeking Plea Deal
Lindsay Lohan is scared of prison.
Most of us are. Most of us also steer clear of theft, DUI and other brushes with the law on a daily basis as a result, but most of us aren't Lindsay Lohan.
While insisting she's innocent in the great necklace heist of 2011, she wants to plea bargain her felony grand theft case ASAP to avoid being locked up.
After berating Lohan in court yesterday, Judge Keith Schwartz scheduled a hearing for February 23, so the lawyers can talk about plea bargaining the case.

Lindsay is willing to plead guilty to make the case go away, provided she does not get jail or prison time. The prosecutor, however, wants jail time.
She may also be able to cut a deal with the judge, cutting the D.A. out of the picture. In exchange for a guilty plea, the judge may be receptive.
It's also common in cases such as this for the judge to reduce the offense to a misdemeanor if Lindsay Lohan stays out of trouble for 12 months.
LOL. As if that's happening. In any case, it will be interesting to see if she cuts a deal or proceeds with a trial in a bid to prove her "innocence."
Thoughts, based on what you know of the case and Lohan?

I THINK THE DRUGS & ALCOHOL HAVE GONE TO HER BRAIN. IF ALL OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME MY ASS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL, BUT I'M NOT A MOVIE STAR. MAYBE BECAUSE OF HER STARDOM SHE HAS A FEELING OF ENTITLEMENT. SHE HAS NO REGARD FOR THE LAW, WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? MAYBE I SHOULD MOVE TO CALIFORNIA & STEAL A NECKLACE AND BREAK PROBATION & MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE COURT, BUT I'M NOT A MOVIE STAR, I DOUBT I WOULD GET A WAY WITH IT. SHE NEEDS JAIL A LESSON IN RESPECT FOR OUR LEGAL SYSTEM.

They need to throw her klepto ass in jail, with the General Population. She will continue this behavior until she is tried and sentenced like any other criminal. Put her ass in a Boot Camp for a year with no special treatment!

I thought there would be a separate hearing after this case is settled for breaking her probation. I mean is it not a condition of any probation that you don't break the law? So if a judge is stupid enough to let her skate out of this with only another probation peroid it is still possible her probation may be violated and revoked for it on the first one. And I can't buy her giving a guilty plea just to get it over with. I mean would any of you pled guilty to a felony you did not commit? Especially given the situation she is in? I would never do that. At the end of the day she is gonna be in big trouble this time (hopefully)

I don't understand this whole concept of Lindsay pleading guilty in order to just get 12 months probation.
Isn't she already on probation?
So she would be probating on top of a probation that was on top of another probation?
How many probations do you have to break before they actually start to mean something?
I thought if you fucked up, and they put you on probation, it pretty much meant that if you came back within that probation period for doing something stupid again, you were going to jail because you broke your probation. Apparently, that's all bullshit.
ON the other hand: Lohan has slipped so far from her earlier promising career, that she has now resorted to doing what most reality stars do: Carefully organise ridiculous dramas like this in order to stay in the news. She's obviously been told that if she took the necklace, it would be great publicity and she would not get any jail time, which we all know she won't, no matter how many pointless probations she's on.
