Lindsay Strikes Deal: 1 Day In Jail!
Lindsay Lohan has reached a plea deal that only puts her in jail for one day! After the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office charged LiLo with seven misdemeanors, the troubled starlet's lawyer Blair Berk plead no contest on her behalf in a Beverly Hills court room Thursday.
"She's getting what everyone else would get," Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers said after an hourlong hearing.
Lohan's plea deal also has her serving 10 days of community service and completing a drug treatment program. The judge just said Lohan will serve 36 months probation and attend an alcohol education program for 18 months. She's also been ordered not to use controlled substances or associate with people with controlled substances.
On Thursday, Lindsay released a statement saying, "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."
Lindsay's parents are speaking out on their daughter's situation. Michael Lohan told The Insider, "I am overjoyed that the system sees that Lindsay is getting the help she needed by putting her best foot forward and by going to rehab. I think between her attorney, Blair Berk, and her therapists at Cirque Lodge, she's around people that care about her best welfare and Lindsay as a human being."
Lindsay's mom, Dina Lohan, told 24Sizzler.com, "My children and I are in a wonderful place in our lives and people just want to make things up and see us fail!"
