Lindsay Lohan: Turns down judge's give
LOS ANGELES -- Lindsay Lohan rejected a judge’s offer to end a felony grand theft case early and her attorney said Wednesday it truly is due to the fact the actress has a powerful defense and is confident she can win an acquittal.
"Ms. Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has in no way wavered," attorney Shawn Holley wrote in a statement released hours after the actress informed a judge she would not accept his plea offer you.
Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz by no means publicly detailed the terms of his offer to Lohan, but said if she pleaded no contest or guilty to taking a $2,500 necklace, he would sentence her to jail. Prosecutors are also seeking jail time for the 24-year-old "Mean Girls" star, who was on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case when a store told police that Lohan had taken a necklace without permission in January.
Lohan will now be needed to appear in court on April 22 for a preliminary hearing.
The preliminary hearing will probably be conducted by a brand new judge who will determine no matter whether there's enough evidence for Lohan to stand trial on the felony grand theft charge.
If the judge rules Lohan should really stand trial, the actress could right away be sentenced for a probation violation from the DUI case and sent to jail for the fourth time.
