livin' la vida Lohan
Lindsay Lohan has had her brushes with the law. In fact she's still on probation for a DUI. That charge got batted around the system for awhile until last year Judge Marsha Revel made it clear to La Lohan that something has to be done about the drinking and driving. Revel ordered Lohan into a alcohol awareness type program (Lindsay is already aware of alcohol - maybe even hyper aware). To drive the point home the judge ordered Lindz to attend once every 7 days.
sweet land of liberty
Now the American legal system is riddled with loop hole - as FOX News loves to point out. Sometimes they allow lesbian pink gun gangs to terrorize fit young men as if they were all in a Monty Python sketch. Sometimes they allow confessed cocaine addicts to escape prosecution,go on to become president, and then plunge their country into war & economic chaos. This time they've allowed Lindsay the leeway she needs to continue her desperate party lifestyle.
to consistent to be reliable
The flaw in the system this time lay with the school (the other weak link in the Great Society). While Lindsay must attend her alcohol program once a week as per judges orders. the school is only required to report her if she misses 21 days. So guess what happens. Lindz skips 2 classes regular as clock work, and shows up on the 21st. Lindsay may have complied with the school's requirements, but defied the judge's.
what we are dealing with here is a total lack of respect for the law
Naturally this sort of thing can not be tolerated. It's especially intolerable when the courts somehow manage to find out (the court system is extremely over worked - probably from being backed up with repeat celebrity offenders). In fact the judge may have suspected something like this would happen, because she stipulated that if Lohan didn't comply she would go off to jail with no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
half fool
Now Lindsay has another hearing coming up on May 20th. So all this information is bound to come out. Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, is optimistic. He says "We have received no negative written report from the program and contend Ms. Lohan is therefore in compliance." Some see the glass as half full and others half empty - but does this guy even see the glass? Then again Lindz has had a good track record where sentencing has been concerned. So who knows whether she's finally run out of luck.
Besides, if Lindz does get some jail time it will make her # 1 admirer Dr. Drew Pinsky happy. Plus it will but her felonious father Michael Lohan one step closer to that conservatorship he dreams of. So that's a win - win situation. For everyone except perhaps Lindsay. Hang in there kid!
