Lindsay Lohan sentenced to jail
Lindsay Lohan sentenced to jail for probation violation Last July 6,2010. Lindsay showed up in court facing the possibility of jail time after violating her probation. A judge in Beverly Hills noted last month that she wouldn’t put the beleaguered starlet in jail last month after her alcohol monitoring bracelet went off, but Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel still noted that she may sentence Lohan to a jail term for failing to show at alcohol education classes. Lohan is being monitored via the alcohol detection bracelet in conjunction with two DUI arrests.
Revel is also the judge who ordered Lohan to wear the bracelet in the first place, but she didn’t give in to pleas from the prosecution to sentence Lohan after a reading of .03 on the bracelet was registered on June 7. Lohan tested negative for alcohol a few hours after that reading, but the low number indicated only 1-2 drinks, an amount that could easily have left her system in just two hours time.
Noted prosecutor Danette Meyers to the judge, "She clearly violated your order. It makes no sense to have it there if you’re not going to abide by it, and there’s no sanction." Rather than sentence Lohan at that time, the judge instead revoked the star’s probation and ordered her to post $100,000 in bail. However, as the matter of Lohan attending alcohol classes, one of the terms of her probation, was still up in the air, Lohan waited to find out what would happen. As it turns out, Lohan will, in fact, serve 90 days for failing to attend those classes, even though she insists that she thought she was complying with the terms of her probation.
