Lindsay Lohan served just 84 minutes in jail for seven misdemeanors including two DUIs and cocaine possession while regular Americans rot in cells for far less. Reid Carter exposes the shocking timeline of Hollywood's most famous train wreck: the Disney darling who lived in hotels as a teenager, crashed her Mercedes high on cocaine, led police on a chase down PCH, and showed up to court with "F**k U" painted on her fingernails. From 250 days in luxury rehabs to stealing a $2,500 necklace, this is part one of how fame became a get-out-of-jail-free card. Tomorrow: redemption in Dubai.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.200

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.360
host and new name. Hey, I'm Garrett Fisher, and starting

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.720
March sixteenth, I'll be the new host on Daily Crime

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.000
and Justice. It's the same great show, now with extra

5
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.759
crime and extra justice. In the meantime, please enjoy this

6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.760
encore performance of one of Celebrity Trials classic episodes. See

7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.280
you on March sixteenth. We'll miss you, Read Carter and

8
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:23.199
wish you the best.

9
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:36.520
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Read Carter and welcome

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:41.039
to Celebrity Trials. Yesterday, something remarkable happened in movie theaters

11
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.759
across America. Lindsay Lohan returned to the big screen in

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.000
Freakier Friday, twenty two years after the original twenty two years.

13
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.719
That's longer than she'd been alive when she first played

14
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.439
Anna Coleman, and between those two films a legal saga

15
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.679
that would make even the most creative screenwriter say, come on,

16
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.240
that's too much. Today and tomorrow, we're doing something different.

17
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.319
We're telling the story of someone who didn't murder anyone,

18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.159
didn't dismember anybody, didn't text their kid into killing someone.

19
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.599
Lindsay Lohan's biggest victim was Lindsay Lohan, but her journey

20
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.159
through the American justice system reveals something just as disturbing

21
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.519
as any murder case. How fame, addiction, and wealth create

22
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.359
a parallel universe where consequences are more suggestion than certainty.

23
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.840
Picture this, a freckle faced eleven year old with red

24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.640
hair and a smile that could sell anything from jello

25
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.519
to wonderbread. That was Lindsay Lohan in nineteen ninety eight,

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.879
playing twins in The Parent Trap, Disney's newest Discovery, America's

27
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.239
Sweetheart in Training. Now picture this that same girl, twenty

28
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.840
one years old, stumbling out of a Beverly Hills police

29
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.840
station at three AM with cocaine in her pocket and

30
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.920
a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit. The trans

31
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.040
information took less than a decade. How does that happen?

32
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.040
How does a kid who had everything talent, beauty, money,

33
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.719
opportunity end up with six mugshots and more time in

34
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.400
rehab than most people spend in college. And more importantly,

35
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.479
how does someone sentence to months in jail serve mere

36
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.439
hours while regular people wrought in those same cells for

37
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.879
far less. Let's start at the beginning, not the arrest

38
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.280
record beginning, the real beginning, when Lindsay Lohan was just

39
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.680
another kid from Long Island with stage parents and a dream.

40
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.759
Lindsay Morgan Lohan was born July Tewod nineteen eighty six

41
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.960
in the Bronx. Her father, Michael, was a Wall Street

42
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.919
trader who would later serve time for stock fraud. Her mother, Dina,

43
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.360
was a former radio city roquette who saw dollar signs

44
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.919
where she should have seen a daughter. By age three,

45
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.840
Lindsay was modeling for Ford. By eleven, she was a

46
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.639
movie star. But here's what nobody talks about when they

47
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:02.639
discussed child stars, the loneliness. After Mean Girls exploded in

48
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:08.319
two thousand and four, Lohan moved into hotels, not an apartment, hotels,

49
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.120
the Four Seasons, the Chateau Marmont. For two years, she

50
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.759
lived at the Chateau Marmond like some kind of teenage

51
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.360
Howard Hughes. Later, she'd explain it, I didn't want to

52
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.120
be alone, so whatever I needed, I could just go

53
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.240
downstairs and there were people there. Think about that an

54
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.120
eighteen year old girl, one of the most famous people

55
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.360
in America, so desperately lonely. She lived in a hotel

56
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:38.280
lobby for companionship. That's not Hollywood glamour. That's a tragedy

57
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.319
waiting to happen. The parents useless. Michael Lohan was in

58
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.280
and out of jail, in and out of their lives,

59
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.360
selling stories to tabloids whenever he needed cash. Dina was

60
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.719
too busy being Lindsay's mamager to actually be her mother.

61
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.479
Lindsay once said, I feel like a second parent in

62
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.759
the sense that I helped raise my family. She was

63
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.479
the readwinner, the caretaker, the adult in the room while

64
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:10.680
she was still a teenager. By two thousand and six,

65
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.639
the cracks were showing. She was attending alcoholics anonymous meetings

66
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.680
at twenty. The girl who had everything was falling apart

67
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.040
in public, and we all watched. We bought the magazines,

68
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.439
we clicked the links, We made her destruction entertainment. Then

69
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.839
came Memorial Day Weekend two thousand and seven, the beginning

70
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.199
of the end, or maybe the end of the beginning.

71
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.680
May twenty sixth, two thousand and seven, two forty five am,

72
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:42.000
Sunset Boulevard, Lindsay Lohan's Mercedes Benz convertible jumps a curb

73
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.199
and slams into a hedge when police arrived. They find

74
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.720
more than just a drunk driver. They find cocaine. The

75
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.199
blood test would later show a blood alcohol level of

76
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.759
point one two, well above California's point zero eight limit.

77
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.319
This wasn't some teenager's first beer. This was a twenty

78
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.040
year old woman so intoxicated she couldn't keep a car

79
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.360
on the road with cocaine for dessert. She was supposed

80
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.800
to start filming Poor Things that week. Instead, she checked

81
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.040
into Promises Treatment center in Malibu. Promises even the name

82
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.160
sounds like marketing. We promise you'll get better for ninety

83
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.920
thousand dollars a month, they better promise something. Lindsay lasted

84
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.519
forty five days. She got out July thirteenth, two thousand

85
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.680
and seven, with an alcohol monitoring bracelet on her ankle voluntarily.

86
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.959
Her people said, like that made it noble instead of necessary.

87
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:37.160
Eleven days. That's how long her sobriety lasted eleven days.

88
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079
July twenty fourth, two thousand and seven, one thirty five am.

89
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.879
Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica. This time it wasn't just

90
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.959
a crashed Mercedes. This time there was a chase. Here's

91
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.519
what happened, according to police reports and witness statements. Lindsay's

92
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.680
assistant quit. The assistant's mother came to pick her up

93
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:01.040
from a party. Lindsay, drunken high jumped into a DENALISUV

94
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.839
and chased them down pch at speeds that would make

95
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:09.240
Nascar jealous. The assistant's mother called nine to one one terrified.

96
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.360
I can't get her to stop following me, she told

97
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.079
the dispatcher. When police finally pulled Lindsay over in a

98
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.000
parking lot, she failed two breathalyzer tests. But wait, it

99
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.600
gets better or worse, depending on your perspective. During the

100
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.560
booking process, police found cocaine in her pocket. Her excuse,

101
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.639
these weren't her pants, really, Lindsay, you're going with these

102
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.600
aren't my pants? That's what every junkie in every jail

103
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.800
in America says, and it never ever works. Oh and

104
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.639
remember that voluntary alcohol monitoring bracelet. She was wearing it

105
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.160
during the chase. It was literally recording her intoxication in

106
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.959
real time while she was committing multiple felonies. The charges

107
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.839
were spectacular. Two counts of driving under the influence, two

108
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.560
counts of driving with a blood alcohol level above point

109
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.240
zero eight, two counts of being under the influence of cocaine,

110
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.720
one count of reckless driving, and because she'd lost her

111
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.800
license after the first arrest, one count of driving on

112
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.319
a suspended license. Seven misdemeanors at twenty one years old.

113
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.879
August twenty third, two thousand and seven. The plea deal.

114
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:18.680
This is where the two tiered justice system really starts

115
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.519
to show itself. Seven misdemeanors, including two DUIs and cocaine possession.

116
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.160
The sentence one day in jail, ten days of community service,

117
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:29.720
three years of probation.

118
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:30.639
That's it.

119
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:36.319
One day for comparison. I looked up California sentencing guidelines.

120
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.560
A second DUI typically carries a mandatory minimum of ninety

121
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.560
six hours in jail. That's four days, not one. And

122
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.560
that's without the cocaine, without the reckless driving, without the

123
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.519
suspended license. But Lindsey got twenty four hours. Want to

124
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.120
know how long she actually served? Eighty four minutes, one

125
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.920
hour and twenty four minutes. She checked into Lynnwood Correctional

126
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.279
Facility at ten thirty pm on November fifteenth, two thousand

127
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.399
and seven. She was released at eleven fifty four pm.

128
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:12.680
The Sheriff's department cited overcrowding overcrowding. The same jail where

129
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.000
regular people serve their full sentences, sometimes more when they

130
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.560
can't make bail, was too crowded for Lindsay Lohan. She

131
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.560
served less time than it takes to watch Freaky Friday.

132
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.839
Let me paint you a picture of what eighty four

133
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:31.120
minutes in jail looks like. Processing takes about an hour fingerprints, photos, paperwork.

134
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.120
She probably spent twenty minutes in an actual cell. Maybe

135
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.080
she used the toilet, Maybe she sat on the bench

136
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.200
and thought about her life, or maybe she just knew

137
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.840
this was all for show, that her lawyer had already

138
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.879
arranged her release before she ever walked in. Meanwhile, in

139
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.799
that same jail, there were people serving months for the

140
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:55.200
same crimes. People who couldn't afford Sean Holly, Lindsay's seven

141
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.840
hundred dollars an hour attorney who had worked on the

142
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:02.279
OJ Simpson Dream Team, people whose parents weren't selling exclusives

143
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.559
to Okay magazine to pay for their defense, people who

144
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:17.759
were actually being punished. Back in a moment, welcome back

145
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.720
to celebrity trials. I'm read Carter, and we're exploring how

146
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.559
Lindsay Lohan turned the criminal justice system into a revolving

147
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:30.200
door with a VIP pass. After her eighty four minute incarceration,

148
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.399
you'd think Lindsay might have taken the hint. Three years

149
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.320
of probation is a long time. All she had to

150
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.720
do was stay clean, go to her alcohol education classes,

151
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.360
and complete ten days of community service. For someone with

152
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.879
unlimited resources, a driver assistance, and no actual job to

153
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.200
report to, this should have been easy. It wasn't. See

154
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.639
here's what people don't understand about addiction. It doesn't care

155
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.519
about your bank account, It doesn't care about your talent,

156
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.399
it doesn't care that you were in Mean Girls Arles.

157
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.879
Addiction is democratic that way. It'll destroy anyone equally. The

158
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.039
only difference is how long you can afford to keep

159
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:12.240
the destruction private. Lindsay couldn't keep anything private. Every stumble

160
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:17.039
was photographed, every fall documented. She became a walking reality

161
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:21.759
show before reality shows were even a thing. The paparazzi

162
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.440
followed her to AA meetings, to court ordered classes, to

163
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:31.440
rehab facilities. They made millions off her misery. October two

164
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.799
thousand and nine, two years into her three year probation,

165
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.120
Lindsay shows up to a progress hearing over an hour late.

166
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.720
The judge Marcia Revel is not amused. Turns out Lindsay

167
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.960
had been missing her alcohol education classes, the same classes

168
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.799
that were keeping her out of jail. The judge extends

169
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.879
her probation another year. But here's where it gets interesting.

170
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.759
Judge Revel says something that should have been a warning.

171
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.120
I wanted you to have your career, but you cannot

172
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:02.679
thumb your nose at this court. Thumb your nose. That's

173
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.720
a polite way of saying. Lindsay had been treating the

174
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:09.279
justice system like a suggestion, not a requirement, and she

175
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:16.519
was about to learn that even celebrity has its limits.

176
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:23.320
May twenty ten, the Can Film Festival. Lindsey is there

177
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:28.720
promoting a film she's supposedly starring in Inferno, where she'd

178
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.679
play porn star Linda Lovelace. She's supposed to be at

179
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:36.080
a mandatory court hearing in Beverly Hills on May twentieth.

180
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.440
Her excuse for missing it she lost her passport. She

181
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.799
lost her passport in Can during the film festival, while

182
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.840
partying on yachts and walking red carpets. The judge issued

183
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.759
a bench warrant for her arrest, which was only lifted

184
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.919
after Lindsay posted one hundred thousand dollars bail. When she

185
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.000
finally appeared in court on May twenty fourth, Judge Revel

186
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.360
had had enough. She ordered Lindsay to wear a scram bracelet.

187
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.600
That's secure, continuous remote alcohol monitor for those keeping track.

188
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.080
It tests your sweat every thirty minutes for alcohol, no

189
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:15.840
drinking period. She also ordered random weekly drug testing. Two

190
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.679
weeks later, June eighth, twenty ten, the MTV Movie Awards,

191
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.600
Lindsey's scram bracelet goes off like a fire alarm. The

192
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:31.039
device detected alcohol. Lindsay's excuse, the bracelet malfunctioned. Right, The

193
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.399
same technology used to monitor thousands of offenders across the

194
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.480
country just happened to malfunction at the exact moment. Lindsay

195
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.960
was at a Hollywood party July sixth, twenty ten, the

196
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:48.080
day Lindsay Lohan cried in court and I mean sobbed,

197
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.960
ugly snot running makeup, destroying tears because Judge Revel was

198
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.559
done playing games. The photos from that day are devastating.

199
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.360
Lindsay in a gray suit, trying to look responsible, her

200
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.679
hair pulled back, minimal makeup going for the I'm taking

201
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.200
this seriously look, but her fingernails told a different story.

202
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.519
Someone zoomed in on her middle finger, written in tiny

203
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.200
letters on the nail, fuck you. She had fuck you

204
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.679
written on her fingernail while begging a judge for mercy.

205
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.960
That's not defiance, that's delusion. Judge Revel sentenced her to

206
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.679
ninety days in jail for violating probation, followed by ninety

207
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.840
days in rehab. Lindsay's response, I did do everything that

208
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.759
I was told to do and did the best I could. No, Lindsay,

209
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.879
you didn't. You missed classes, you failed alcohol tests, you

210
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.519
showed up late to court, you fled the country to

211
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.200
avoid hearings. That's not doing your best. That's barely trying.

212
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.799
But here's the kicker of those ninety days in jail.

213
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.720
She served fourteen two weeks, released early due to overcrowding

214
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:01.360
and good behavior. Good behavior in two weeks, what did

215
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.200
she do? Teach yoga to the other inmates. The rehab

216
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.120
stint was equally meaningless. Ninety days became twenty three at

217
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.879
UCLA Medical Center. Then she was released to outpatient treatment,

218
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.360
which meant she could go home. The cycle continued. September

219
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.919
twenty fourth, twenty ten, failed drug test cocaine and amphetamines.

220
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:27.000
Back to jail, released the same day after posting bail.

221
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.600
February twenty eleven. Arrested for stealing a two thousand, five

222
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.039
hundred dollars necklace from a Venice jewelry store. The surveillance

223
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.200
video is damning. She walks out wearing it, never pays.

224
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.000
Her excuse she was borrowing it from a store without asking.

225
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:49.399
That's not borrowing, Lindsay, that's shoplifting. April twenty second, twenty eleven,

226
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.759
Sentenced to one hundred twenty days in jail for the theft

227
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:58.279
and probation violation. Served five hours, not days hours. She

228
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.720
was fitted with an ankle monitor and sent home for

229
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.799
house arrest, during which she threw parties, failed alcohol tests,

230
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:08.159
and posted it all on social media. Are you seeing

231
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:12.639
the pattern? Arrest, conviction, sentence, release, repeat. It's like the

232
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.720
justice system had a revolving door with Lindsay's name on it.

233
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.480
November twenty eleven, Back to jail for failing to complete

234
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.879
community service at a women's shelter. She was supposed to

235
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.279
do three hundred and sixty hours, she'd done barely any

236
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:32.399
the excuse she didn't feel comfortable at the shelter, so

237
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:36.039
they moved her to the Morgue, the Los Angeles County Morgue,

238
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:40.320
because nothing says rehabilitation like making a drug addict organized

239
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:45.519
dead bodies, even that she couldn't do right October twentieth,

240
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.720
twenty eleven, she shows up late to her first day

241
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.879
at the morgue, the day after a judge had literally

242
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.039
just scolded her for being unreliable. She couldn't even be

243
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.080
on time to community service at a morgue. Dead people

244
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.639
were waiting for her, and she still could and show up.

245
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:04.440
The judge sentenced her to thirty days. She served four

246
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.519
and a half hours. At this point, it wasn't even

247
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:13.200
surprising anymore. It was expected. Lindsay Lohan goes to jail

248
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:21.960
like most people go to the DMV. Annoying brief, ultimately meaningless.

249
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.279
By twenty twelve, she'd been to court twenty times, twenty

250
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:32.960
appearances before four different judges, six probation violations, two DUIs,

251
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.000
one theft, countless failed drug tests. Total time served less

252
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.360
than two weeks. Total time in rehab over two hundred

253
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.440
and fifty days, but spread across so many facilities. It

254
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.639
was basically a tour of Southern California's treatment centers. Let

255
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.960
me put this in perspective. In twenty ten, a woman

256
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.440
named Patricia Spotted Crow in Oklahoma was sentenced to twelve

257
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.919
years in prison for selling thirty one dollars worth of marijuana,

258
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.320
first offense. She had kids. She served two years before

259
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.680
public outcry got her released. Lindsay Lohan poisoned herself and

260
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:13.400
others by driving drunk and high, stole property, violated probation repeatedly,

261
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.359
and served less time than it takes to binge watch

262
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:20.319
a season of her reality show, That's not Justice, That's

263
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:25.359
celebrity privilege wrapped in a legal bow. Tomorrow, we'll explore

264
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.799
how Lindsay finally hit rock bottom, found her way out,

265
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.720
and managed something even more shocking than her arrests, a comeback.

266
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.759
We'll talk about the bling ring breaking into her house,

267
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:40.160
her escape to Dubai, and how Freakier Friday represents more

268
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.640
than just a sequel. It's a redemption story Hollywood didn't

269
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.359
think was possible, but today sit with this. A young

270
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.119
woman was failed by everyone who should have protected her,

271
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:54.000
her parents who saw her as an ATM, the industry

272
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.400
which enabled her addiction as long as she showed up

273
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.599
to set the justice system which couldn't decide if she

274
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.799
was a criminal or a celebrity, and us, the public

275
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.880
who turned her break down into entertainment. Lindsay Lohan didn't

276
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.839
need eighty four minutes in jail. She needed help, real help,

277
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.960
not ninety thousand dollars a month Malibu Spa rehab, but

278
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.880
actual consequences and actual treatment. Instead, she got hashtags and

279
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:24.559
headlines I'm read Carter, and this is Celebrity Trials. Tomorrow

280
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.799
we'll see how Lindsay Lohan finally saved herself when nobody

281
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.799
else would. But today, remember this fame isn't a get

282
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.680
out of jail free card. It's a prison of its own.

283
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.359
See you tomorrow,
