Lindsay “In Shock” as Judge Hands Down 90 Day Mandatory Jail Sentence
July 8, 2010
BEVERLY HILLS — In a repeat performance to court this time, Lindsay Lohan expressed a look of ”shock and awe” when Judge Marsha N. Revel handed the screen queen a mandatory 90 day jail term for violating her probation. Her jail time will be spent at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF), Los Angeles County’s Women’s Jail, also know as the Lynwood Jail.
Lohan will have some serious thinking time to do for failing to attend her weekly alcohol education classes, ordered by the Los Angeles Court Judge for previous drunk driving charges in 2007. The Judge issued Lindsay three 30-day sentences which include 90-days in a locked-down drug rehab facility. The sentence was apparently harsher than prosecutors thought would be handed down.
Judge Revel included the instance where Lindsay had lied, a fact the Judge didn’t take too kindly to. “There were a number of instances of [Lohan] not taking things seriously… It’s like someone who cheats but doesn’t think it’s cheating if they don’t get caught.”
Lindsay explained her passport had been stolen during the time she attended the Cannes Film Festival as the reason for her missing her mandatory court date. However, photos surfaced of the Herbie star partying in Cannes like it was 1999.
Further, Lindsay denied owning a pair of “party pants” laced with cocaine, saying they belonged to someone else. She later tested positive for cocaine following that arrest. And the charges just kept adding up when in June, Lindsay’s alcohol monitoring bracelet she was ordered to wear, read that she had in fact been drinking. A charge she also denied.
The Judge simply stated, “She lied, then lied prior to that.” Lindsay fought back tears in court stating, “As far as I knew I was in compliance with my programs… I wasn’t trying to get special treatment,” she added.
We’ll have to wait see what the final outcome is. Serving time at the CRDF jail in Lynwood for any length of time could be a frightenly harsh “reality check” for anyone; celebrity or civilian.
