Lindsay Lohan showed up for her preliminary hearing today wearing a scarf. She’s in court right now to determine the value of the evidence against her. According to TMZ (who’s doing live updates), Lindsay’s felony charges could be brought down to a misdemeanor if the judge thinks the offense is really minor. DUI convictions and stealing a $2,500 necklace is apparently not enough to make her a serious criminal.
Shawn Holley has to do is say the magic words after today’s preliminary hearing testimony — “Your honor, I move that you reduce the felony charge to a misdemeanor under Penal Code 17(B).”
And if the charge is reduced, prison time is off the table and it’s likely the whole thing would be settled as a probation violation.
I’ll just assume this is going to happen because Lindsay always manages to wiggle out of real trouble. She’s like a cat but instead of 9 lives she has an infinite amount. If life were a video game, people would accuse her of using a cheat code.
