Legal experts believe that Lindsay has a good chance at trial. Many think she has made a mistake by rejecting the plea deal but legal experts think otherwise.
Ed Hayes believes if the defense is able to produce evidence that supports the claim that Lindsay borrowed the necklace for photo shoot, she stands a fair chance of winning the case.
"Suppose they get a stylist who comes to court and says, 'Lindsay brought me the necklace because we were gonna use it for a shoot, and I forgot to bring it back.' If that's the case, she's gonna get acquitted," he says, adding that if she has a legitimate defense, it shouldn't be difficult to prove.
Lindsay never made any attempt to conceal the item. She was even photographed wearing it & that led to her arrest.
"She wasn't hiding it, she was wearing it, and that's a reason to believe her," he says.
Most probably the jury might buy her story. She has drug & alcohol problem besides having a troubled life, but this doesn’t mean she needs to steal that necklace. She was an easy target.
