Lindsay Lohan was briefly jailed on Friday as the Los Angeles judge, Stephanie Sautner downgraded her jewellery theft but sentenced her to four months behind bars for violating her probation.
Lindsay Lohan looked confused and distressed on Friday after hearing this and was taken immediately to prison from court after the day long hearing session in the court for her $2500 gold necklace theft.
Her jewellery charges were reduced to a misdemeanour from a more serious crime and might just reduce to a one year time behind bars if she is eventually convicted. However, judge felt the evidence suggested that she intended to steal the jewellery.
She ruled that Lohan had violated her probation for a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession incident. So she sentenced her to 120 days jail and 480 hours community service in a morgue and women's prison.
Lindsay's lawyer filed an appeal immediately. She was released later in the day after five hours behind the bars. Her lawyer argued that she was distracted and absent minded when she left the store with the necklace but she didn't steal.
Lindsay Lohan has merely destroyed her acting career herself as she been too busy with her rehabs, prison and courtroom episodes since 2007. She was offered a role in film by John Gotti but it is not clear how she would be a part of the shooting with her case, prison visits etc.
