Lindsay Lohan ‘allegedly’ stole a necklace from a jewelry store. The owners valued the piece of jewelry at $2,500. That makes the crime a felony. The L.A. district attorney’s office wanted to prosecute this case as a felony. However, Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner declared the necklace to be worth only $900 and, over the objection of the DA, ordered the case to be prosecuted as a misdemeanor.
Had Lohan been convicted of the felony theft charge she could have done up to three years in prison. If she is convicted of the misdemeanor theft charge, the most she can do is one year in county jail. And we all know that is not going to happen. Good old Lee ‘Pepe LePew’ Baca, sheriff to the stars, has a proven track record of not just early releases for Hollywood celebrities, but of almost instant releases. His justification: The time worn jail overcrowding excuse.
On Friday, Lohan was sentenced to four months in jail for violating her oft-violated probation. Judge Sautner thought that despite her vehement denials, Lohan did steal that necklace. Four months in jail? It’ll never happen. Pepe LePew will have her released in less than a month – it’s the jail overcrowding bit, you know.
During a press conference on Wednesday announcing that Lohan would play a starring role in a film about the life of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, she exposed most of her right breast while posing for publicity shots, arm-in-arm with former Mafia boss John Gotti, Jr. Lohan had been chosen for the movie part at the insistence of Gotti’s daughter Victoria. John Travolta will play the part of John Gotti, who was known as the ‘Dapper Don’ during his heyday.
Now, if my daughter or your daughter had stolen a necklace valued at $2,500 from a jewelry store, do you think a judge would have declared that necklace to be worth only $900? Not a fat chance in hell! That is, unless your daughter happens to be a Hollywood celebrity by the name of Lindsay Lohan.
