Lindsey Lohan, a name that is well know, a name that when said or heard you think of her first movie "The Parent Trap" or most recently, with drugs. Lindsey Lohan is no stranger to the good life, she started early in her life as an actress and from there she hit the floor running. Never being able to grow up in a real environment Lindsey quickly turned to the party life that was all around her.
Lindsey's first attempt at rehabilitation was not on her own terms, she was advised by all to show that she "was trying" to clean herself up so she could land more movie roles. This didn't last very long as she only spent 30 days in Wonderland Center. This new found sobriety would not last as she lost control of her vehicle and crashed. When Police arrived they found a "useable" amount of cocaine. She was charged with reckless driving and driving under the influence. She was required to check into rehab again for the next 45 days. A VERY light sentence to someone who clearly has a problem.
Only two months after her initial crash and arrest Lindsey was pulled over and arrested again and was asked to complete a field sobriety test, surprise surprise she FAILED! Lindsey blew over a .08 and was taken into custody for the second time regarding driving under the influence. Any other person on the street who had been arrested just two months prior for the same offense would have lost their license and most likely (not always) serve a little jail time. Lindsey, well she served 84 minutes, 100 community service hours, and probation.
Lindsey was recently in the media again as she wasn't fulfilling her end of her probation agreement and going to her substance abuse classes. She was given yet another chance to change her ways and to clean up her act. How many chances does this girl need to get until she gets behind the wheel of her vehicle while drunk and kills someone? She has been treated llike every other celebrity.
There are the cases where the judge does feel that jail time or even a harsher punishment would not be necessary, but in this case she needs a reality check.
