EXCLUSIVE: Lindsay Lohan Is Innocent And Will Prove It At Trial, Says Attorney
Posted on Mar 24, 2011 @ 12:12PM
Lindsay Lohan's powerhouse attorney, Shawn Holley, is proclaiming her embattled client's innocence and declares that LiLo will be acquitted by a jury.
In a statement released to RadarOnline.com, Holley says: "Ms. Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has never wavered.

"Though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking 'the deal,' the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent; she has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her."
Holley formally notified the DA and Judge Keith Schwartz on Wednesday that Lindsay wasn't going to be accepting the plea deal that would have included jail time.

Lohan will now appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner on April 22 for her preliminary hearing.
Sources close to the case tell RadarOnline.com that it's likely only investigating officers will be called by Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers.

At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, Judge Sautner will also determine if Lindsay violated terms of her probation, which could send Lohan back to jail for at least six months.

All the jury has to do is look at Lohan's past five finger acquisitions to know there is a problem along with denial.

Lindsley will never see jail. As Mel who beat up a woman didn't or Charlie Sheen who has beat up several women. Hollywood celebs always seem to get away with murder!! ( O J )

Pimp - You are so right. But she is not going to jail. If borrowng the necklace was ever discussed and they have forms, she will win her case. The judge will not revoke her probation inless she loses.

Unless Lindsay never takes a bath or looks in the mirror, she knew she had the necklace and didn't pay for it. Go Danette!

Innocent of what? She has been in JAIL 4-5 times, rehab 4-5 times and she is, what 24?
She made a kid movie a decade ago and has been coasting off it ever since. GO AWAY LOHANS.

The store video doesn't show intent, however the fact that she knowingly had the necklace for days and the store contacted her to return it and didn't, and the fact she took it to the police after a search warrant was issued, speaks volumes. JAIL.

Do we know they tried to contact her? I hope they have phone records or something. Because THAT would be hard to argue.

And then there's the 20 times she's been accused of stealing, in the past, and always returning the "borrowed" items (with a little hush money). That is what is gonna kill her in front of a judge. BTW, the judge can overrule a jury verdict.

Well, what is her lawyer supposed to say, "She's guilt as hell?" Despite her proclamation, I'll be that Shawn locks up all of her expensive trinkets when Lindsay pops by her office.
