Lindsay Lohan Tempts Fate Again

by Daun Lee

Lindsay Lohan can’t seem to stay out of trouble and her recent arrest threatens her freedom. The troubled actress was accused of stealing a necklace from a popular jeweler in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago. The judge who presided over her DUI case says if she is found guilty of the theft when she appears in court on Wednesday he will send her to jail. If the star goes to jail her future in film will be in jeopardy. She has already signed a deal to star in a new film. There are concerns with her Alcoholics Anonymous pals. Lindsay has been frequenting the bars she used to go to during her drinking and drugging days which could possibly trigger a relapse.

Lohan avoided jail for her DUI last year by attending rehab. Getting a DUI can be devastating to the celebrity, but for the everyday person the consequences can be even more severe. The infamy of a celebrity along with their high price DUI attorneys often give them an advantage most don’t have when facing DUI charges.

Recipients of a Dui often face jail time and the loss of their driver’s license unless they have the assistance of a DUI lawyer. Celebrities are safeguarded against stiff penalties because of their notoriety and they can financially afford the fiscal penalties handed down by the law. To avoid jail time and the high cost of fines a person needs a DUI lawyer.
