Lindsay Lohan to spend only two weeks of 90-day sentence in jail


UPI News Service, 07/20/2010 

Lindsay Lohan Tuesday began serving her 90-day jail sentence for skipping an alcohol education class following a court appearance in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Lohan, 24, was jailed for failing to comply with the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence conviction.

A Sheriff's Department booking document obtained by the Los Angeles Times said the actress is expected to be released from a Lynwood, Calif., jail Aug. 2, after having served only 14 days of her sentence, due to prison overcrowding. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore later said Lohan's "projected release date is Aug. 1 or Aug. 2," meaning there is a possibility she'll be out of jail in even less time.

The Times previously cited an unnamed Sheriff's Department source as saying Robert Shapiro, who agreed to defend the "Freaky Friday" actress last week, is no longer Lohan's lawyer.

The attorney was part of the team that successfully defended O.J. Simpson against murder charges.

Lohan had been staying in a sober-living facility Shapiro founded since last week. It is unclear when she left the facility.

The newspaper said Lohan's former lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, is again representing the actress.

Despite Shapiro's departure from the case and her own imminent incarceration, Lohan took to Twitter Monday to update friends and fans on how she's feeling.

"The only 'bookings' that I'm familiar with are Disney Films. never thought that I'd be "booked" into Jail ... eeeks," Lohan tweeted.
