Lindsey Lohan Gets a Day in Jail

[The Big PINK One♥]

WTF IS GOING ON? If that were regular people like you and me, we'd get locked up for so long it would be like a damn seasonal vacation!! Shameful how these celebrities get off so easily... Lindsey, Britney, Nicole & Paris will NEVER learn.

Shout out to Lil' Kim! *smh*

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (August 23, 2007) – Lindsay Lohan is headed to jail.

Lohan reached a plea deal on Thursday and will spend one day behind bars, plus 10 days of community service and must complete a drug treatment program, Access Hollywood has learned.

The embattled actress was sentenced to 96 hours in jail, but was ordered to serve only 48 hours. However, after being given credit for the time she already spent behind bars at the time of her arrest, ultimately, Lohan will spend one day in jail.

As part of the plea deal, Lohan reportedly pleaded no contest to two charges of DUI, and two charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance (on two separate occasions) and reckless driving.

Lohan was charged earlier in the day with seven misdemeanors stemming from two drunken-driving arrests in the last four months. More serious felony drug charges were not filed, prosecutors said, because tests showed there wasn't enough cocaine on her to warrant them.

A rep for Lindsay released the following statement to Access Hollywood on behalf of Lohan:

"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case.

No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have. I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so.

I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."

She needs to do more time in jail. Toya your right about the celebs getting out of jail really fast thing. It makes it seem that it's okay for them to commit a crime.

Understanding the law, anyone would have had to do probably the same time under similar circumstances, HOWEVER, it looks bad to 'regulars' when celebrities seem like they're getting off and then doing it again and not really learning their lessons.

But then you think about Paris Hilton's stint in the clink, this wench got to go home after like a few days in the pokey?! I don't understand that. No one would allow a regular person who suddenly came down with an "illness" (Puh-leeze, Paris sweetie you can have your publicist call up all types of tabloid speculators to say that you may have "ADD" and you didn't have your meds- blah blah blah. But I think that you honestly are on drugs and you were slowly coming down off of your high sweetie. Yeah, just because someone may seem level headed and clear minded doesn't mean that they aren't intoxicated or under the influence.) to go home for 24 hours... please, it would have taken an act of god for them to even be admitted into a hospital let alone releasing you. So that just really was the straw that broke MY back thank you very much!

Nicole Richie, 82 Minutes... *Shakes my head continuously*
I mean, yeah Im sure she definately learned her lesson. When you drive down the OPPOSITE SIDE OF TRAFFIC WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE and all of the other charges you rack up along with it... you get only an hour and 22 minutes in jail so that at the end of the day you can still go home and do what you have to do and possibly commit some more crimes if you'd like!

The justice system is biased, as if we haven't seen that already. But more importantly, they never grasp the fact that sometimes you need to make examples out of people like that and send a clear message that the justice system has to uphold and enforce the law by all means necessary. And no matter how FAMOUS you are, you are NOT above said law. PLUS, I see that we're seeing the same redundant pattern amongst young hollywood celebrities... Get rich, be ultra famous, party all of the time, get on drugs, break all types of laws and never have to pay for your concequences and then learn from them! They need to do something about them not learning from their mistakes and possibly HARMING SOMONE. Is that when the justice system buckles down and really makes them pay their debt to society? How many people will have to die or sue them for them to see that, hey, this is not cool?
