Lindsay Lohan was back in court today in the continuing matter of her felony grand theft case and the whole thing was pretty much blink and you missed it. L. Lo was in and out fairly quickly, because nothing of any real substance went down today. Lindsay went before Judge Keith Schwartz and did NOT take the plea bargain deal (that comes with jailtime) … but the judge did give her a bit more time to reconsider. She will have to go back to court later this month and either take the deal or not … but if she does not take the deal and decides to go to trial then Judge Schwartz will then determine if she violated her probation and she will have to go to jail until her trial can begin. Homegirl’s got jail in her future, whether she likes it or not.
Lindsay Lohan’s judge is pissed … that TMZ got information about his sentencing recommendation even though he wanted it held confidential … this, as he has given Lindsay more time to mull over his sentencing offer that WILL involve jail time. Judge Keith Schwartz was beside himself, saying he told lawyers on both sides to keep the sentencing proposal under wraps. We posted a story shortly after the meeting, saying the judge would impose a sentence — possibly 3 months in jail — if Lindsay pled guilty or no contest … The judge has sent the case to another judge — Stephanie Sautner — for a preliminary hearing, but he’s giving her one more chance to accept his offer. Lindsay will be back in court before Judge Schwartz on March 25, and she can plead either guilty or no contest to the grand theft charge. If Lindsay doesn’t accept the plea, Judge Sautner will hold a preliminary hearing on April 22. At the same time Judge Sautner will decide if Lindsay violated her probation — and it’s virtually a sure bet the judge will rule Lindsay did indeed violate it. At that point Lindsay will go to jail as she awaits trial.
It’s very obvious that Judge Schwartz is losing patience with Lindsay … it’s also pretty evident that he wants her to take the plea bargain so the theft matter can be taken care of once and for all. Irregardless of whether she takes the plea bargain or not, she will still have the matter of probation violation to deal with … and it’s almost certain that she will be thrown in jail for some bit of time for that infraction. I suppose it’s possible that Judge Schwartz might be lenient with Lindsay on the probation violation matter IF she takes the plea bargain … with jailtime. I mean … in all likelihood, Lindsay is going to jail at some point. I guess we’ll have to wait until March 25 to find out how this all plays out.
Oh … and by the way … WTF? was up with Lindsay‘s outfit? It looks like her dress is made out of latex, or a condom. On the plus side, it was a more conservative court look for her so … win?
