Let's Make a Deal

Lindsey Lohan is finally considering a plea bargain for the felony grand theft she was charged with back in February after realizing jail time is simply unavoidable.

Judge Keith Shwartz offered Lohan and her attorney Shawn Holley a plea bargain of three months to jail which could even get dwindled down to 19 days due to overcrowding in the jail. If Lohan and Holley decide against the deal and goes to trail, Lohan is looking at one year of jail time for violating probation and three years of prison time for the original grand theft if convicted.

Lohan is facing felony grand theft charges after a Venice Beach jewelry store owner accused her of stealing a $2,500 necklace. 

According to TMZ, "Lindsay has been adamant for weeks ... she would never take a plea deal because she feels she did nothing wrong."  Lohan rejected the first offer on March 10 because is still trying to maintain her innocence, but is rethinking her decision after realizing the reality of what's at stake if she goes to trial.

Smart girl LiLo.


Recently, the jewelry store sold the surveillance tape of Lindsey in the store with the necklace.


March 25 is D-Day for the actress. She will have to make to the decision to take the plea bargain or go to war with the law. If she takes the deal, she will immediately go into custody. If not, she will go to trial April 22 where her fate will be in the hands of the jury.

"If Lindsay is smart, she will take the plea deal," according to The Hollywood Gossip. "Lindsay won't know what hit her if the case proceeds to a preliminary hearing, and trial."

  1. Madison, your blog idea is so cute! I love it and everything is so well-written. I really believe with your last paragraph- TAKE THE PLEA BARGAIN. It's way better than sitting in that jail cell for another year and going back to the courtroom. I really don't understand how this girl always finds herself in some serious trouble. Lohan, pick it up. I miss the old Parent-Trap you-self.
