Lindsay has become something of a train wreck. Her initial DUI’s a few years ago were followed by a jewelry theft, attacking a rival in a bar, crashing her car, lying to cops, and violating probation on many occasions. The media loves to cover her antics.
“Her life has been under a magnifying glass with a great public interest in her case,” said Heller. “I am very proud to be a part of this process to make sure justice is served.”
Her lawyer evokes the name of justice, but his pride probably has more to do with getting mixed up with a high profile case. After all, what he considers to be justice is keeping Ms. Lohan out of jail – probably the one thing that can help her at this point.
“Justice has to be tempered with mercy,” said Heller. “Even mean-spirited people should want to see an alternative used to jail.” And with such talk, Mark figures that anybody who would want to see Lohan to get something like the justice non-celebrities get is somebody “mean-spirited.”
Lohan has visited court 20 times under four Los Angeles judges, having violated her probation five times and being sentenced to a total of six months in jail. Now she is up for trial on March 18 for charges of lying to a police officer and for reckless driving while on probation for shoplifting. This will give Heller plenty of opportunity to make glib comments on all those haters out there who would want such a nice person as Ms. Lohan to get the sort of justice administered liberally to standard criminals.
The worst Lohan is in for at this point is that she might have to serve the rest of her sentence for shoplifting, having broken her probation. That amounts to 245 days in jail, and perhaps some additional sentencing for her recent misdeeds.
On her way to court she brings a crowd of paparazzi with her, as everybody wants a picture of the starlet as she continues to make headlines with her bad-girl streak. It seems her lawyer wants exactly this kind of attention. Let him receive it magnanimously.
