July 22, 2010 After media frenzy, Lindsay Lohan begins life in jailPosted: 12:35 PM ET
Los Angeles, California - More than four hours before Lindsay Lohan turned herself in at the Beverly Hills Courthouse, satellite trucks and camera crews lined the entrance of the building, jockeying for position. Half an hour before she arrived, there appeared to be almost a hundred tv crews, including one from Australia, covering the event. Overhead, helicopters hovered. At least one local tv station helicopter trailed Lohan from her home to the courthouse. Everyone wanted to get a good shot of the Hollywood actress who was sentenced to 90 days in jail and another 90 days in a drug rehabilitation center. On July 6, a superior court judge found Lohan had violated her parole. In 2007, Lohan was arrested twice on DUI and possession of cocaine charges. Upon her arrival, roughly ten minutes after she was due in court, Lohan passed through the media quickly. The 24-year-old appeared cool and stoic, even when a young tattoed man threw handfuls of gold confetti on her. While Lohan was in court, her supporters captured the media's attention. One of them, Joe Gassman held a sign that read "Free Lindsay." At times, he jumped up and down, screaming at the top of his lungs "let her go!" "She didn't do anything. She's a wonderful actress, she didn't do anything wrong. She just partied a little bit. Everybody does it... all the starlets," Gassman told In Session. After Los Angeles Sheriff's deputies took Lohan into custody, another of the actress' supporters blamed her estranged father for her actions. "Loser father" a voice from the crowd shouted as Michael Lohan stood at the podium with his attorney who addressed the media. Within an hour of Lohan's departure to Century Regional Detention Center where she will serve out her sentence, the crews were packing up. But there was one final shot the media could not resist getting: a mugshot of Lohan after she had been checked into the women's facility. –Nancy Leung, In Session Field Producer Filed under: Case Updates Sentencing |
