Lindsay Lohan and her Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney, the Saga Continues

Posted on: February 9, 2011 at 10:46 p.m.

Lindsay Lohan, former child star and current legal nightmare, is in court in again and is facing possibly the most severe legal circumstances in her life. Lindsay Lohan was arrested for stealing a necklace and has been charged with a felony, giving her Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney even more work to do. The judge in this Los Angeles felony case was so strict that he told Ms. Lohan, "You're no different than anyone else...please don't push your luck." During the initial hearing, Lohan sat next to her Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney listening while she was pleaded not guilty in her felony theft case. Judge Keith Schwartz set her bail at $20,000 and warned "if you violate the law, I will remand you and there will be no bail." Lohan was also ordered to refrain from contacting the jewelry store accusing her of stealing from them.

Lindsay Lohan is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, CA jewelry store in January. The store's surveillance video shows Ms. Lohan walking out with the necklace. If convicted of felony grand theft, she could face up to three years in state prison. Her Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney also has to be concerned with the felony charge as a parole violation, because it could complicate the case. If Lohan is convicted, it could add jail time, add fines or add to her parole.

While Ms. Lohan has spent time in jail, she has never spent time in prison, which is a far different creature. More severe treatment, larger restrictions and being surrounded by other felons is what she has to look forward to if the judge comes back and says she's guilty. The jewelry store claims she left their establishment without paying for the necklace, she claims she thought she was being given the necklace the way other celebrities are given merchandise in order to spread the word about a store or product. Regardless, she is now facing felony charges and could be going to prison for a very long time.
