All tag results for 'plea deal'

We guess Lindsay Lohan is SERIOUSLY looking forward to all of the attention she'll most likely receive for going to trial!

Seriously, that's the ONLY plausible explanation we can come up with for why, even though the prosecutors in her upcoming court case are essentially bending over backwards to accomodate a plea bargain, the troubled, legally-challenged starlet is REFUSING to accept any sort of punishment for both violating the terms of her probation and lying to authorities!

That's right!

Lindsay's already turned down demands from the Santa Monic City Attorney and the L.A. City Attorney that she agree to either mandatory rehab or jail time in lieu of going to her March 18th trial, and somehow, her lawyer Mark Heller, has apparently managed to convince them to lessen the deal so that she will only have to serve

It's becoming crystal clear that Lindsay Lohan and her expert lawyer Mark Heller will NOT be able to charm their way out of rehab, or even JAIL!

Despite making their best efforts to CONVINCE the judge/prosecution that Lindsay is totes fine, does not require rehabilitation, and definitely doesn't deserve JAIL TIME…

It seems her opponents are playing major hard ballz, as they are apparently demanding that any plea deal made inclue one or BOTH of aforementioned outcomes.

Let's hope Mark Heller is really the genius Lindsay Lohan thinks he is!

In a last-ditch effort to get the best plea deal possible for lying to the cops, Linds is meeting with her lawyer before she faces the jury in less than two weeks!

Everyone from LiLo's bodyguard to ex-assistant has been subpoenaed against her, but Mark apparently still thinks they have a shot at making a deal as good as a free meal.

A source explained:

“Los Angeles City Attorney Terry White has told Lindsay’s lawyer, Mark Heller, he would be willing to meet with her before the trial is scheduled to begin on March 18. Both sides are working towards hammering out a plea deal in the case, but as of right now, the possibility still exists any deal could include her going to rehab. Lindsay strongly feels that if she is able to talk to the prosecutor he will be able to see that she doesn’t need to enter a treatment facility. However, White is a respected and smart prosecutor, and he won’t be influenced by Lindsay’s celebrity status. He is treating her as he would any other defendant.”

Hopefully she'll put on her best performance yet during that plea deal, because gurlfriend is going to need it if she hopes to stay out of jail and rehab!

We would take whatever that prosecutor hands out, even if it is a stint in rehab!

On the slight chance that Linds does win in court, she could still face up to 245 days in the slammer for violating probation in that necklace theft incident.

Hopefully she didn't piss off Elizabeth Taylor's ghost too much, because she going to need all the supernatural help she can get!

Lindsay Lohan really does have some damn good luck.

Well, in some ways.

While she rejected previous plea deals because they required time in rehab, she was then facing a trial that could have definitely led to jail time.

But, luck is shining down on little LiLo!

The troublesome redheaded starlet might actually get off the hook and avoid jail AND rehab with a new plea deal that is being worked out.

Her determined lawyer, Mark Heller, wants to prove he's not a bumbling character is working to get Lindz just what she wants as a source revealed:

Despite everything she’s been arrested for and accused of, Lindsay Lohan sure knows how to score an awesome plea deal.

Practice makes perfect??

This time around, as she’s facing charges of lying to police in regard to a car accident last June, she might get off the hook pretty nicely.

In fact, she might be scoring the deal of a lifetime considering it is now reported that alcohol was found at the scene of the accident AND LiLo smelled like she had been drinking!

Well, we think Shawn Chapman Holley should be pleased with ONE aspect of this HIGHlarity!

At least someone is FINALLY recognizing her YEARS of tireless, non-stop and dedicated legal work that has surely helped Lindsay Lohan stay out of jail…well, for the most part, anyway!

We all watched with bated breath yesterday to find out what would come of Lindsay's latest court drama, which was only complicated by the fact that the troubled starlet owed her long-suffering lawyer over $300,000 in legal fees, yet still fired her…in lieu of being represented by lawyer Mark Heller, who, by the way, isn't even allowed to practice law in the state of California!

Well, as it turned out, the legally-illiterate LiLo was too, ahem, 'indisposed' herself yesterday to submit the plea, so somehow convinced her trooper of an ex-attorney to get out of bed last minute and do it FOR her…and on last night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the late-night funnyman paid tribute to Mz Chapman Holley for pretty much being the most patient person in the effing world!

Ch-ch-check out his comments on all of the choas (above)!

Believe us! The last two seconds MAKE IT!

LOLz!

At least he's finally admitted it.

As we previously expected, Jared Loughner pled guilty to shooting and killing six people in Tuscon last year as part of an agreement allowing him to avoid the death penalty.

Loughner accepted guilt on 19 criminal counts in a plea agreement, including attempted assassination of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the first degree murder of two federal employees, and the attempted murder of two other federal employees.

Gabby and her husband Mark Kelly are content with Loughner's plea.
