During a brief recess, the powerhouse DA told RadarOnline exclusively: "Yes, I will be appealing the ruling. We will ask our appellate division to appeal."

It was a major victory for Lindsay to have the charge reduced from a felony to misdemeanor. She now will not be facing jail time in a state prison if convicted, instead she will be sentenced to county - a softer option.

Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled that Lindsay did violate her probation though and has set the next pretrial hearing for May 11 and the trial date for June 3, 2011 - and Lindsay must appear in court for both.

The hearing lasted less than five minutes. Prior to the hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel ruled that the media would not be allowed to photograph the Mean Girls star as she was placed into custody, or they would be held in contempt of court. Revel also ordered that there would be no house arrest, furlough or monitoring from this point on.

Lilo's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told the court she had just filed proof Lindsay had completed the court ordered alcohol eduction program; she  also said that famed O.J. attorney Robert Shapiro was never the official attorney of record, which Revel confirmed.

Moments after the hearing finished, Lindsay’s father Michael Lohan left the courtroom, saying he couldn’t bear to watch her. As she was led away, her father yelled out to her, "We love you Lindsay!"

Michael's attorney Lisa Bloom then addressed reporters on Michael's behalf saying, “Michael spent the morning praying for this daughter and he’s devastated that she’s going to jail. He appeared this morning to support her and will continue to pray for her.”

Lindsay's mother Dina had personally accompanied Lindsay from her home in West Hollywood to court Tuesday morning, and did not comment directly after her daughter was taken away.

Lohan, 24, has been sentenced 90 days at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California -- the same facility Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie had served time for their 2007 convictions.

Because of jail overcrowding, it is likely that Lindsay will serve a maximum of three weeks behind bars. After her jail sentence, Lindsay has been ordered to spend 90 days in rehab.

The Palm Springs Police Department insist they have the right man in custody for the Jeremey London kidnapping -- despite our exclusive jailhouse interview with Brandon Adams, in which he told RadarOnline.com the actor willingly drank alcohol and took drugs with him.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Jeremy London’s ‘Kidnapping’ Suspect Makes Courtroom Appearance Thursday

“I am convinced a crime occurred otherwise someone would not be in custody,” the lead investigator, Detective Frank Guarino, told RadarOnline.com on Thursday.

“I would not falsely arrest someone for a crime that did not occur.”

Adams, 26, is being held on $500,000 bail in Palm Springs, California for his involvement in allegedly kidnapping London and forcing him at gunpoint to smoke drugs.

"There was no gun... there was never a pipe," Adams told RadarOnline.com.

"We got drunk and I hooked him up with some Ecstasy and Xanax and we took a joyride and partied for hours."

“I think everybody is perplexed... it is out of the ordinary,” Guarino said of the events that took place on June 10.

“Not every city has this type of crime occur all the time. It is obviously a case in which it is not just one documented piece of evidence.”

When asked if Guarino believed London’s story about the kidnapping he said, “Based on his statement to me, yes. If I didn’t believe the events took place, someone would not have been arrested.”

RadarOnline.com’s explosive jailhouse interview with Adams blows a gaping hole in London’s account of what happened that day.

"Jeremy wanted to drink, so we bought beer and some hard alcohol and we got f****d up," Adams said.

"Jeremy was just drinking beer but we were wasted. We went driving around my neighborhood, handing out beer to my friends and random people on the street. We were having a good time."

The troubled Party of Five actor has a sketchy history that includes being in and out of rehab, a 2004 DUI conviction and a serious addiction to prescription drugs that caused him to lose custody of his three-year-old son, Lyrik.
