Lindsay Lohan Appears In Court, Gets A Slap On The Wrist
Judge tells L. Lo to SCRAM

Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan finally made her much-ballyhooed appearance in court today to stand before judge Marsha Revel who is overseeing her ongoing DUI probation case stemming from her DUI conviction a few years ago. Earlier today we heard from Lindsay herself in her own words her reasons for missing court last week, but just moments ago Judge Revel got to hear those “reasons” in court. The judge put new restrictions on L. Lo, including the requirement that she wear a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet, and set another court date for July. Here are a few photos of Lindsay in court with her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley and the deets of what went down:

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge outlined new bail conditions for Lindsay Lohan at a hearing Monday, including a bracelet to detect alcohol, a ban on drinking and random weekly drug testing. Lohan must also attend all of her alcohol classes as scheduled, unless the class interferes with her random drug tests, Judge Marsha Revel said. Lohan’s attorney said she is filming scenes for a movie in Texas, but Revel insisted, “It’s going to be drug testing here,” meaning in California. Lohan’s attorney, after conferring with her client, said she would accept the conditions. Prosecutor Danette Meyers asked for proof that Lohan had a ticket to fly back to the United States in time for last week’s hearing. Defense attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said she has the proof and will show it to the court. A formal probation violation hearing for Lohan was scheduled for July 6. Holley told Revel that Lohan missed her alcohol counseling session last week because her uncle died. “Did she go to the funeral?” Revel asked. “She did not,” Holley answered. Revel has given Lohan, 23, several second chances, but she appeared ready to lay down the law when Lohan missed Thursday’s hearing on her probation for a 2007 drunken driving conviction. Holley told the judge that Lohan was unable to catch a flight from France two days earlier because she lost her passport at the Cannes Film Festival. Thursday’s hearing was to determine whether Lohan had been attending weekly alcohol counseling sessions as ordered, but her absence prompted Revel to rule there that was “probable cause to believe [Lohan]) is in violation of probation.” The judge revoked Lohan’s probation, issued an arrest warrant and imposed new conditions. “I warned her before,” Revel said. “She knew it was very serious.” Lohan was not arrested when she finally arrived in Los Angeles from France on Saturday because her $100,000 bond had already been posted … Lohan was arrested twice in 2007 on charges of driving under the influence and in the second incident she was also charged with cocaine possession. The first arrest came after Lohan lost control of her Mercedes-Benz convertible and struck a curb in Beverly Hills. Just two weeks after checking out of a Malibu drug and alcohol rehab facility, she was arrested again in July 2007 after a woman called Santa Monica police, saying Lohan was trying to run her down with a car.

I mean, yeah, we knew that Lindsay wasn’t going to be thrown in jail and it was very unlikely that she’d be forced into rehab … these new restrictions were to be expected. At least, tho, this gives Lindsay a chance to straighten herself out (at least for a short while) in order to show the court she can comply with these restrictions. It remains to be seen if Lindsay will actually fully comply (ie. NO booze at all) and, if not, how Judge Revel will react … but she does have a chance to do the right thing. Will she be able to do so? I suppose it’s anyone’s guess.

    God she looks double her age…she is haggered looking!

  3. Lisa says:

    There is NO way that girl can abstain from partying until July 6th (next court date) – but she should realize being sober is better than jail…

  4. theskinny says:

    It’s not the drugs that are making her look that old. That wrinkley forehead comes from hours of deep thought and stress about the state of the universe. Those huge bags under her eyes come from the gallons of tears cried for every child who suffers. The wrinkles around her mouth come from her endless smile she wears while nursing baby mountain gorillas. LiLo you are a true hero! ; )

    I mean did we really think she was going to get time? No, they think THIS is helping her. A blind man knows that Lindsay is a drug addict. They won’t be happy until she dies, then they all be looking like “that’s so sad”.

  6. F says:

    @theskinny, LMAO!!!

  7. emily says:

    I agree she really is looking rough lately. I was channel surfing last weekend and i came across mean girls and it is sad how she looks like a totally different person now. Rachel McAdams in in her 30′s now and looks pretty much the same and LL looks like a 40 year old on a bender. :(

  8. Manda says:

    Wow, she looks so old. It’s infuriating that just because she’s in the public eye that she gets away with everything. I mean, she missed her COURT DATE so she could party overseas and all she gets is a slap on the wrist.

  9. debho says:

    Why is it that whenever these little poppets have to attend court they wear a suit? A jacket and shirt will not instantly make them a model citizen. lol Not fooling anyone.

    Girlfriend looks a mess!

  11. Trent says:

    Rah rah

  12. Why is her face so bloated?

  13. CHASE says:

    HER FACE… OH my gosh.

  14. Jaded says:

    I think she should needs serious jail time and rehab. The problem with both is the every time she goes she does well for a while and then starts using again. There is something seriously wrong with that girl that she’s gotten help buy it just won’t stick. She needs to not go to a celebrity rehab, but to one of the real ones that get people mental help as well as help getting off the drugs.

  15. Aislin says:

    …Who wears a shirt that low cut to court?

  16. yousarocker says:

    Wow. When I got a DUI, I lost my license for 6 months, did a three day stint in jail, attended DUI school twice I week, completed 102 hours of Community Service, and paid $3000 in fines.

    There was no slap on the wrist for me…

    …NOR DID I DESERVE ONE.

    Who the fuck is Lindsey Lohan to keep getting off this rap when hundreds of thousands of “real” people pay their penance, learn their lesson, and get on with life?

    It’s high time somebody sticks it to this girl . . . excuse me, I meant GROWN WOMAN.
