From CNN: Actress Lindsay Lohan was sentenced on Friday to 120 days in jail for violating her probation on a 2007 drunk driving conviction.
Lohan was taken from a Los Angeles court by sheriff's deputies officials at the end of a preliminary hearing on a jewelry theft charge.
Lohan was earlier ordered to stand trial in June on a reduced, misdemeanor charge of stealing a $2,500 necklace in January. But the judge on Friday ruled that the jewelry incident was a probation violation and sentenced her to 120 days jail and 480 hours community service.
Lohan's lawyer said she would file an immediate appeal.
"Lindsay Lohan was ordered Friday to serve 120 days in jail for violating her probation by her arrest in a necklace theft case. She was immediately taken into custody."
Admittedly, I have a somewhat shady past when it comes to supporting jailed female celebrities -- I created the "Free Paris" movement, after all, and was the object of Nancy Grace's scorn as a result. (Although, to be fair, she is a genuinely awesome and nice person during commercial breaks.)
Anyway -- I don't think Lindsay Lohan deserved the rap she got.
I won't be working to "free" her, as I've fully gotten the fameball out of my system, yet I can't help feel a bit sorry for a woman around my age with lousy parents, worse managers, and a legal team that failed to call out the obvious: Lindsay Lohan has been singled out because of who she is, rather than because of the severity of her alleged parole violation.
