LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan was released from a Los Angeles County jail Friday night, just hours after she was sentenced to 120 days for violating her probation by taking a designer necklace.
It was a deja vu day for the starlet, who was admonished by a judge — the fourth she's faced in nearly a year — who said she thought the actress had intentionally taken the $2,500 necklace from an upscale Venice store and shown poor judgment in not trying to return it until police became involved.
But by reducing the actress' charge from felony grand theft to a misdemeanor, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner may have set in motion what has become a familiar cycle for Lohan — being sent to jail only to have the sentence cut short due to jail overcrowding.
Lohan's attorney Shawn Holley filed a notice of appeal right before court closed, clearing the way for the actress' release on bail.
She was freed at 9:21 p.m. after posting $75,000 bail, according to the sheriff department's website.

who the hell keeps bailing her sorry ass out?
I'm sorry but if I pulled half the sh!t she's pulled over the years, my family would tell me "I love you. That's why your sorry ass is staying right where you put it."
And that's what I would do for my family-sibling, spouse, kid. If they pulled half that crap I'd make it known I love them, I support them through the whole legal process but I'm not bailing their punk ass out.
I'm pretty sure she bailed herself out, but i can't imagine that she would still have money.

I was gonna say all her legal troubles (lawyer fees and stuff) have made her broke or nearly broke.
She had a net worth of $7 million in January but who knows what is left now.
That just sucks. Seriously. rolleyes.gif

I think so. Even then she still may only get a slap on the wrist.
Maybe she thinks she is up for a role in the remake of "Caged Heat" hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif
