We should feel sorry for anyone who is in active addiction. Feeling sorry for someone doesn't condone or enable behaviors. A true addict (whether it be drugs or alcohol) is going through things we could never understand. People have given up their children for drugs. She has an opportunity to get herself clean and has FAR more advantages than the average addict on the street. I hope she takes advantage of those advantages and turns her life around before she kills herself or someone else.

Exactly - her addiction and her subsequent treatment have nothing to do with her socio economic level. In fact, in very many ways, it has been proven that the pressure of such expectation at such a young age greatly fuels the need for the escapism provided by the drugs.

According to a former prosecutor on a local talk radio show, LL's two DUI cases could be consolidated with the drug possession. Jail time is very likely. There is very little to mitigate this. She went to rehab for six weeks and just days after her release it's back to drugs/alcohol. DUI's, accidents, hit and run, reckless driving...she is a threat to public safety.

There is no way she is getting out of jail time. I predict at least six monts, and that is way light.

On Larry King's show tonight about LL, they showed a brief clip of the Stand Back video and Stevie talking about drug use.

Speaking of La Nicks back when she was ingesting huge amounts of booze and coke she never had to worry about getting a DUI because she had a fleet of limos at her beck and call .I don't get why these girls like Paris and Lindsay don't get a limo and avoid the slammer at least.

Not to mention that Hohan was driving someone else's Yukon, with the owner sitting in the passenger seat. Why is someone with a suspended license, with a pocket full of blow, being allowed to drive your car????? It makes no sense but it all seems like a cry for help to me. Chasing someone around in the wee hours, screaming and hollaring in the parking lot...the girl is fuc&ed up. She needs long term treatment.

BTW..Strand...i was watching Larry King and they were saying in Calif. there are multiple options for her. She could do like a 12 month live in rehab and avoid jail. It is going to be completely up to the Prosecutor how this is charged. With Paris, she was on Probation, so the Judge had carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. The Prosecutor will decide how aggressively to go after Lindsay. So we shall see, but it seems like she could avoid jail. She may have to go away to rehab for a long time, lose her license for years, be uninsurable in films...but she could avoid Big Bubba.

There are two issues here. First, she needs to begin her recovery. Second, she needs to pay her debt to society for the crimes committed. Chances are she cannot recover in jail. So, if recovery is the goal, then jail is not going to achieve that.

In the end, I am still predicting the six months because she has two DUI's, one (possibly two) felony (I think) possession charges. Plus, the limelight on this case is extreme. So, any slack she might have been cut IMO is not going to be there.

But, time will tell and IMO six months is fair and from what I have read consistent with similar sentences.

My thoughts exactly! Stevie and her troopers handled their addictions and excess with much more class and discreet! While the drug rumours persisted, they were never photographed, never busted (except for John!). These girls are young, stupid and have too much money and status...just because they can read lines convincingly?!!! It's obvious any idiot can do that!

Times were different then- the papparazzi is insanely invasive now. If Stevie were young and doing her thing in 2007, she'd be plastered all over the place too.

Lohan claims the cocaine found in her pocket is not hers.

“I am innocent ... did not do drugs they’re not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin’s mom I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy,” Lohan wrote in an e-mail to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush, the show reported on its Web site Tuesday night.

Well, she was still over the limit for booze - though I suggest she was not wasted with those scores. Interestingly, a blood test or hair test should prove the veracity of the claim that she did not do coke (which is not exactly what she said - but it is the point)

wow. if that isn't the most piss-poor excuse ever -- and a sure sign she's an addict (if anyone still has some doubts). i suppose the last time she had cocaine on her, it wasn't hers either.

though i'm a major advocate in that she needs some jail time, i think she needs rehab first.
