From CNN.com:
Los Angeles, CA – Not even Lindsay Lohan’s tears or her humanitarian efforts were enough to keep a Beverly Hills judge from ordering jail time for the wild child movie star.
Judge Marsha Revel sentenced Lohan to 90 days in county jail and 90 days in a substance abuse program for violating probation after learning that she missed seven court-ordered weekly alcohol counseling sessions during the 27 week period between December 2009 and July 2010.
“Are you serious?” she sobbed to her attorney as she furiously plucked Kleenex out of a tissue box and covered her face as she grappled with the prospect of jail.
Lohan had appealed to the judge directly for leniency, admitting that she was scared and told the court, “I did everything I was told to do,” she said. “I thought I was being compliant. I did the best that I could.
“I wasn’t asking for special treatment…I was just trying to balance my jobs. I don’t want you to think I don’t respect you or your terms.”
Lohan’s father who was sitting in the front row of the gallery wept openly after hearing his daughter’s emotional plea.
Judge Revel handed down 30-day terms for two counts of Driving under the Influence and one count of Reckless Driving, and ordered that the sentences be served consecutively.
“I’m very disappointed,” Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley told In Session. “She has done an excellent job with what she’s been asked to do. In my 22 years as a defense attorney I’ve come across glitches during the probation period, but in the end they get resolved.”
“Maybe this will catch Miss Lohan’s attention and she’ll comply with the terms of her probation,” said Prosecutor Danette Meyers. “It’s an appropriate sentence.”
Lohan is expected to return to court on July 20, 2010 to surrender to authorities.
