Lindsay Lohan Turns Down Plea Deal, Going To Trial

The other day I told you how Lindsay Lohan was considering taking a plea deal that Judge Keith Schwartz offered her in the necklace theft case she is involved in but she has decided to turn it down and fight her case in a trial.

If Lindsay had of taken the plea deal then she would have been sent to jail for about 19 days but now she is definitely going to trial, because she is adamant of her innocence. The preliminary hearing will take place on April 22 which will see both sides give their evidence and if the new judge, Judge Stephanie Sautner, decides there is enough evidence then it will go to trial. Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, says:

“Ms. Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has never wavered, though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking ‘the deal’, the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent; she has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her.”

If Lindsay is found guilty then she faces up to three years in the chokey because of her probation violation as well as the grand theft felony. I guess time will tell what happens. This family are seriously something else.
