Lindsay Lohan will be going back again to court on May 20, 2010 for her progress report. The court will see if she is in compliance with her DUI probation.
As we can remember, On August 23, 2007, Lohan, 23, was pleaded guilty to cocaine use and driving under the influence and was sentenced to one day in jail and 10 days community service. She was also ordered to pay fines and complete an alcohol education program, and was placed on three year probation. If Lindsay has violated the terms of the probation, it could be revoked and she could be back to jail, adding time to the 84 minutes that she served earlier. On that occasion she was released early because of overcrowding and the nonviolent nature of the crime.
However, this year, the court stated that Lindsay is not in compliance and could end up in contempt of court as a result, and this can lead again her to be placed in jail. But what went wrong? What was violated by Lindsay? The court stated that Lindsay is not attending the court ordered alcohol education classes every week, but has attended classes every 21st day, which complies with the school’s policy, but violates the court order.
Lohan’s attending attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley also stated that they have not received any negative report from the program hence, Lindsay is in compliance. Though there have been occasional weeks when Lindsay has missed her alcohol treatment class, she has always managed to make up the class the following week by attending two classes. For that reason, we contend that Ms. Lohan is in substantial compliance with the conditions of her probation.
Holley and Lohan will be waiting for Thursday to see what will happen. Will Lindsay end up again in jail?
