“Lindsay's lawyer only has to file a notice of appeal with Judge (Marsha) Revel, and under terms of California law--particularly misdemeanor probation appeals--the defendant must be granted bail,” the source said, “Judge Revel will be forced to give Lohan bail pending the appeal, and Lilo wouldn't even have to appear in front of Judge Revel again."

The insider goes on to say, "the appeal will take six months to a year to be heard. It's highly unlikely that Lohan's appeal will be successful. However, it will keep her out of jail for at least the next six months to a year.”

While Judge Revel is required to legally grant her bail, the source added: “Judge Revel could order Lohan into the 90 day in-patient rehab program immediately." RadarOnline.com first reported Lindsay’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley quit on Thursday after finding out that Lindsay was lawyer shopping.

A source close to Lohan says, "Lindsay met with two prominent criminal defense attorneys on Wednesday, but both refused to take the case because of her bad attitude. Lohan blames everyone around her for her circumstances, and she is absolutely unaccountable. She is an attorney's worst nightmare because she simply refuses to follow any advice that she disagrees with."

Appeal?? She must enjoy wearing that SCRAM bracelet!! I wouldn't want that attached to my ankle for another 6 months to a year!! She needs to stop and think about this a bit more. Drug testing for another year might be fun as well!!

She's already planning an "after jail party"! She's trying to get sponsors so when she gets out she'll have some money. She's also trying to work this into those reality shows Dina is shooting. NICE!!!

Sorry but I feel sorry 4 Lindsay. The judge was totally unfair & treated her like she was some convicted convict that did the worst crime of the century, she has made mistakes but come on!!.

I agree that "judge" totally abused her position a 30 day sentence would have been totally understandable 60 possibly justifiable but 90 jail and 90 rehab absolutely sickening.
I hope the appeal works out
Free Lindsay

Once again Chill it was 90 days on 3 counts....I am starting to think you don't understand how the leagl system works or you are just in denial ...I am not sure which

I know what it was i have the docs ok but most people get 30 days for violating probation. There was no need for the other 60 days for the duis they are the same charges it was overkill.

Chill once again...it's 30 days per offensce...and no most people do not just get 30 days, the amount of time will depend on the offences and the past and present matters before the courts, and if there are any related matters will effect it
