Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 120 Days Jail Time

It turned out not to be a Good Friday for Lindsay Lohan!

Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled that the actress was in violation of her probation and would receive 120 days in jail, Us Weekly confirmed.

Lohan, 24, was was only charged with a misdemeanor for her alleged necklace theft in January; she turned down previous plea deal bargain offers prior to Friday's trial and faced the possibility of felony charges. She will be tried in 45 days.

However, Judge Sautner ruled the incident was a violation of the probation terms set forth after Lohan's 2007 DUI arrest. In addition to her 120 day jail sentence, she will be required to perform 360 hours of community service.

Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Holley, immediately filed a notice of appeal. The actress' bail is set at $75,000.

Lindsay Lohan Is Innocent And Will Prove It

Lindsay Lohan's powerhouse attorney, Shawn Holley, is proclaiming her embattled client's innocence and declares that LiLo will be acquitted by a jury.

In a statement released to Radar Online, Holley says: "Ms. Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has never wavered.

"Though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking 'the deal,' the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent; she has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her."

Holley formally notified the DA and Judge Keith Schwartz on Wednesday that Lindsay wasn't going to be accepting the plea deal that would have included jail time.

Lohan will now appear in front of Judge Stephanie Sautner on April 22 for her preliminary hearing.

Sources close to the case tell Radar Online that it's likely only investigating officers will be called by Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers.

At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, Judge Sautner will also determine if Lindsay violated terms of her probation, which could send Lohan back to jail for at least six months.
