Why Lindsay Lohan was sentenced for 90 days in jail
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued on Tuesday the 90 days in jail and an inpatient rehab program after actress Lindsay Lohan had been found guilty of violating the terms on her probation in 2007 drug case. This is after listening to the employees’ testimonies of an alcohol treatment that the actress had been ordered to attend.
The actress immediately burst into tears after the ruling.
“I did do everything I was told to do and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up. It wasn’t vacation, it wasn’t some sort of a joke,” the actress told the judge.
The judge found the actress’ apology insincere and says “somebody who cheats and think it isn’t cheating if she doesn’t get caught.”
Lohan still have until July 20 to surrender, as she was not immediately taken into custody. However, she was required to wear an ankle alcohol monitor until then.
The monitor issued an alert after the actress attended the MTV Movie Awards and after-parties last month. It showed a 0.03 blood alcohol level at that time. Lohan denied this.
Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, urged the judge to place the actress back on probation, saying she had learned her lesson and had improved. Prosecutor Danette Meyers disagreed and urged jail time for the star.
"When you ordered her to go every week, it didn’t catch her attention," Meyers said in a closing statement.
