This trial was like the Thanksgiving centerpiece on the Lohan's dining room table--a full-to-overflowing Horn of Crazy. Rainbow-colored obscene fingernails? Hysterical crying? Both parents scrambling for interviews? Constantly switching legal representation?
Well, we've figured out why.
Lindsay and her immediate circle are too busy partying and doing drugs to watch TV. If they had watched even half as much TV as the average American, they'd know not to mess with a judge.
Lindsay probably thought Lindsey's judge would be like Lance Ito, the judge on O. J. Simpson's murder trial, whereas 20 minutes of Judge Judy would have taught her different that Ito is the exception that proves the rule. Whisper, giggle, or fidget too much, and you risk being expelled from the courtroom. Make sure you've gone to the powder room before court starts, because potty breaks are up to the judge, too. Everyone stands up when a judge walks into the courtroom. Come on, who else do Americans do that for? Not the President. Not the Pope. Not even Queen Elizabeth II, and we've heard she'd cut a bitch.
Judge Marsha Revel is our new heroine. Watch her sentence Lindsay here:
off topic legal trivia: in a jury trial, (which i know this wasn't) , all parties including the judge stand when the jury enters.
but on the one and only jury i ever served on, one time i entered the courthouse just behind one of the defendents, going through the metal detector just behind him... i was pulled out of the jury room and hauled up before the judge to make sure i had not communicated with him...which i hadn't!
Those are the fakest tears I have ever seen. Was she - ACTING?!
RE: She wasn't skipping her class, she was working with CHILDREN! She wasn't ON VACATION!
I will remember that excuse the next time I miss my court-ordered rehab.
Yeah, Morocco is a real dump this time of year.
This is the kind of shit that makes my day!
