Lindsay Lohan’s Lawyer Enters No Contest Plea

Lindsay Lohan
According to sources Lindsay Lohan’s attorney has entered a no contest plea on behalf of the actress in a case involving a stolen necklace. Lohan did not appear in court Wednesday’s hearing in Los Angeles. Superior court judge Sautner accepted theplea to disdemeanor grand theft that was entered by her lawyer.
The plea means the 24 year old is not acknowledging guilt but the case stands as a conviction. Lohan was charged in February with taking a $2500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store without paying for it. The incident happened roughly three weeks after she was released from court ordered rehab on a 2007 drunken driving case. Lindsay Lohan faces a 120 day jail sentence for violating her probation, but she will serve a fraction of the sentence due to jail overcrowding and may be placed on house arrest.
There are some people who are all but a bit upset about Lindsay Lohan’s behavior and the justice system. These individuals believe she has gotten out of more trouble than anyone else. It is as if she is getting a slap on the wrist and walking away to simply get into trouble again. It is a vicious cycle and the actress is literally losing some of her fans and young women who looked to her for inspiration. She has ultimately given herself a bad reputation now and some people feel if she were an ordinary person and not an actress she would not be getting this different attention.
