Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail for Probation Violations

It was high drama and more at a Los Angeles courtroom this week, as actress Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in prison for a series of probation violations. The actress was handed down three separate sentences of 30 days each, and was ordered to spend 90 days in a drug rehabilitation facility. The case is related to two separate drunk driving arrests involving Lohan back in 2007.  The Beverly Hills judge was unforgiving, as she sentenced the star to 90 days, giving her a number of reasons why the actress deserved a sentence like this.

And there were plenty of reasons. Lohan had been in the news several times as she violated the judge’s orders, including a failure to attend alcohol education classes every week. Lohan failed to follow the terms of the probation, which is not what an Alabama DUI criminal defense attorney would advise at all. Earlier this year, she was photographed partying at the Cannes Film Festival when she was actually supposed to be making a court appearance in Beverly Hills. That incident did not go down well with the judge, and Lohan didn’t make it better by insisting that she couldn’t make it back to Los Angeles in time because someone had stolen her passport.

The judge also seemed angry at the fact that Lindsay has always denied that she was driving under the influence on both the occasions. She’s always maintained other people had been driving the vehicles in both cases, and not her. It also didn’t help that she was found with white powder on her pants some time after the arrests, and insisted that the trousers did not belong to her. A cocaine test soon after, had tested positive.
