Lindsay Lohan is not accepting a plea deal that would involve jail time for a jewelry store theft, CNN confirms.
The decision means the troubled actor will proceed to trial on a charge of felony grand theft.
The actress is accused of walking out with a $2,500 necklace from Kamofie and Company, a jewelry store in Venice, California, on January 22.
She faces possible jail time for violating her probation for a drunk driving arrest because of the theft charge.
Lohan's attorney notified Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers that there will be no court hearing Friday, a Los Angeles Court spokesperson said.

Heck the Lohan family might as well just open their own jail.
At this point it doesnt matter if she intended to steal it or not. When you are on probation any contact that is negative with the police is a VOP or violation of probation. The fact that she has been charged violates her probation. The
felony theft is the least of her concern while the VOP is what's going to put het away!!!!!!!!!!!
dude! as usual, whatever she "gets"; it will in no way be comparable to the sentence of a reg'lar human. that's the only REAL newsworthy issue here.
I dont know what the big deal is... The cost of the necklace is pocket change to her why would she steal it?
She shouldve taken the plea. She wouldve been better off. If she loses this trial everyone knows shell get the max sentence. She wouldve got alot less time with the plea. Youve got to know how the system works. Her lawyer should be more on it. Believe me shes not gonna like prison at all. Been there. Done that. And not doing it again. Plus Big Bertha is scary!
Poor baby!
Maybe if we all were to contribute what we can, we could raise enough cash to buy her the best damn prosecutor on the planet so she can get the complete fullness of jail time she really deserves.
Maybe. But she was born lucky since she never goes to jail like most people.
I am tired of watching the news about actors who produce nothing of consequence for our country and cost us money in the courts by dragging on ridiculous trials. If you are going to be a role model for kids, then be an ethical, moral, and honest one!!! Oh, that does not exist in Hollywood.
Lohan's is above the law she has shown that she has money if someone without money would of done 1/100th of what she has they would of be in jail long time ago.she is almost like the GOP in America they have money she has money so they take care of each other buy each other off in someway So don't look for lohan to get much of any punishment if any
Life without parole!
The owner of the jewelry store tried to cash in with a book deal and to profit from this incident. So there is more to this story than simple theft. If could be extortion or revenge on the part of the owner of the store
Well put, a flush of a toilet bowl must have brought me here, none the less here I am.
what jewelry store allows someone to "walk" out with their merchandise... there seems to be way more to this story.
i know when i went shopping for my wife's wedding ring, i couldnt move more than 3ft from the case without turning some heads...
Must be tough carrying around that chip on your shoulder all day.
You were "forced" to read the link? And you were forced to click on it, read the story, and feel the need to leave a long-winded comment, too? Hilarious. (BTW: I'm not a mother)
