Lindsay Lohan has decided to put and end to the court room drama surrounding her by pleading “no contest” in the necklace theft case, according to reports. The 24-year-old actress and her lawyer will tell Judge Stephanie Sautner of the decision as early as next week, reported celebrity website TMZ. Lohan has already been sentenced to 120 days jail and 480 hours community service after Sautner ruled she had violated the terms of her probation stemming from a 2007 DIU case.
Now the Mean Girls star is hoping to put an end to the jewellery theft case by entering a no contest plea. In US law, no contest means the defendant is still claiming no guilt, but no longer contesting the charges brought. Lohan and her attorney Shawn Holley are said to be hopeful that Sautner will not add extra jail time based on the new plea.
Lohan had initially pleaded not guilty to the alleged theft of the $2,500 necklace from a high-end jewellery store in Venice, California, in January.
