Lindsay Lohans attorney has agreed to a plea and Lindsay will serve 1 day in jail for her 2 DUIs, 2 counts of possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility, driving on a suspended license, drinking underage and fleeing the scene of an accident. This is not to say she will serve 24 hours. She can actually surrender to authorities just before midnight and then be released just after midnight.

Keep in mind that Lindsay had a .12 blood alcohol level on her second arrest and a .15 on her first. The legal limit is .08. That's almost twice the legal limit. How the *beep* is that a misdemeanor? How drunk do you have to be for it it be a felony? Jesus, some beer is only 3.2 percent alcohol. They could have tested the damn beer and it would almost be the same percentage of alcohol as Lindsay. So if you're a bottle of beer and you can reach the peddles, feel free to do some coke and race around the streets of LA. Apparently that's not a problem.

Looks like those charges were dropped. She was charged with 7 misdemeanors, including two counts of DUI and one of being under the influence of cocaine.

From TMZ, via wwtdd.com:
Quote:
In deciding whether to file felony cocaine charges, the D.A. always looks at the person and the circumstances. In Lohan's case, the fact that she was busted twice in a short period of time actually helped her. It shows someone is struggling with an addiction problem. The fact that each time she was busted, she immediately checked into a rehab facility also helped her case. Also, her age -- 21 -- and the fact that her upbringing was extremely unstable -- also worked in her favor.

Well, when it comes time to commit a crime, I'm moving to LA.

In semi-related news, Nicole Richie serves 82 minutes in jail.

Quote:
On December 11th of last year, Nicole Richie was arrested after driving the wrong way down the Burbank Freeway. When sheriffs deputies found her, she was parked on the freeway, talking on her cell phone. When questioned, she admitted she was high on vicodin and had been smoking marijuana. This was not her first DUI. In 2002, she was arrested for driving 50 miler per hour in a 15 mph zone near UCLA. She had a .13 blood alcohol level, almost twice the legal limit. Six months later, she was convicted for possession of heroin and driving on a suspended license. And yet, when she went to court for her December arrest, she was sentenced to just four days in jail. Her license was also not suspended for one year, despite the fact that a one year suspension is mandatory for a second DUI. But apparently the LA County Sheriffs Department thought 4 days was too harsh, so when Nicole turned herself in late Thursday afternoon, she was released just 82 minutes later. She was in a cell, a private cell, for 35 minutes.

1 day in jail will certainly rehabilitate the lovely Lindsay Lohan-she is for certain going to stop abusing drugs and alcohol, and never have another DUI.

She can go to Vegas again-it's the beginning of a happily ever after story for Lindsay and the Lohan family.
