Lindsay Lohan going to trial

It's a risky move but Lindsay Lohan is adamant that she's innocent in her felony grand theft case therefore, TMZ reports, she will NOT be taking any plea deals.

If she had taken the offered plea deal today, she would have been sentenced to 3 months in jail which would have equaled about 19 days total due to overcrowding.  However, now that she's going on trial she could either get off with nothing... OR a lot of time behind bars.



Here's the thing.  If Lindsay if found guilty she'll also be found in violation of her current probation which will result in added time in jail on top of felony prison time.  And the judge could toss her in jail before her trial even begins!  But then again, she could wait to see if LiLo is actually guilty.  Waiting would be the fair thing...



The first hearing is set for April 22.  I still think this is nuts... she KNEW the store owner.  She tried on the necklace in plain sight while chatting them up and walked out of the store visibly wearing it... I still think it was lent to her, and not shoplifting.  Now this store owner is said to be hawking a book deal about the whole thing.  You can't say this isn't shady.



What is shady though, is her father's newest legal problem... his charge of domestic violence has now been reduced to a misdemeanor with $30,000 bail.  But Michael Lohan is saying (via TMZ) it was his ex-girlfriend who assaulted HIM.  He's pretty much turning everything Kate Major has accused him of and going, "Nooo. You did that to ME. Youuu did! I know you are but what am I??"



It's funny how unsuccessfully manipulative he tries to be.  Michael, you're not smart enough to be an actual conniving person.



He also used this opportunity to drag his daughter's name into this, weeping that Kate stole some clothes he bought for Lindsay in the process of "beating" him or whatever... Oh yeah, what every 24-year-old woman wants... her dad picking out her outfits.  Especially an old guy who wears tank tops tucked into his pants with a cell phone holstered to his belt.  The epitome of uncool dad style.

Even if we believed him, nobody would be on his side anyway.
