Lindsay due in court today and is likely to be sent to jail for probation violation
Talks breakdown between Lohan's camp and prosecution - 'there will be NO plea deal'
Jewellery store owners set to auction the necklace off

She’s certainly no stranger to life behind bars and she has been adamant she will not be returning.

Lindsay Lohan, who is appearing in court today, will not be accepting a plea deal that will send her to jail in a grand theft case, is believed.

The Mean Girls star has pleaded not guilty to a felony grand theft that was filed after a jewelry store reported the starlet had taken $2,500 necklace without permission.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz has said if Lohan accepts a plea agreement offered by prosecutors last month that he will send her to jail for the fourth time in as many years.

A source close to the actress said that Lohan does not intend to accept the plea offer at Thursday's hearing. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of Lohan's case.

U.S. website TMZ have posted contradicting reports and said that Lindsay is considering accepting a plea.

The gossip site posted: 'The fact that Lindsay is actually thinking about accepting Judge Schwartz' offer is a huge step -- because she has been adamant up to this point that she will NOT go back to jail.'


Schwartz will lay out the next steps of the case and may schedule a preliminary hearing during which prosecutors will present their evidence.

If Lohan is ordered to stand trial Schwartz has warned the starlet that she may be sent to jail for violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.
Lohan's return to court comes days after surveillance footage of her trying on necklaces at Kamofie & Co., which reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22. It was eventually given by a Lohan associate to detectives, who had already obtained a search warrant for the actress' Venice home.

Entertainment Tonight aired the footage, which showed Lohan texting, pacing and talking to a store clerk for nearly 45 minutes. The actress wore the necklace she is accused of stealing for roughly 25 minutes, according to the show, before the clerk escorted Lohan out, smiled and held a door open as she walked out.

The footage was obtained by a commercial images division of the AP and licensed exclusively to Entertainment Tonight.

The source told said that Lohan's defense team thinks the video's release and its sale will benefit the actress' defense.

Lohan's court troubles have long overshadowed her once-promising acting career. A former star in Disney films such as ‘Freaky Friday’ and ‘Herbie Fully Loaded,’ her career has been stalled since she was arrested twice in 2007 and later charged with drunken driving and drug possession.

In the past 10 months, Lohan has been jailed twice and sent to rehab twice for probation violations. A judge ordered her to undergo three months of treatment at the

Betty Ford Center, and it was within three weeks of her release that she was accused of stealing the necklace.

While the theft case has caused more uncertainty for Lohan, 24, the incident may go on to benefit others.

The owners of Kamofie & Co. announced Wednesday that they will auction the necklace and donate the proceeds to an unspecified charity after the theft case is resolved. The item remains in the custody of authorities.

‘We have already publicly released the videotape which speaks for itself and accurately records the incident, and we believe the next step toward achieving closure is to donate the now-famous jewelry to charity,’ store owners Sofia and Geoff Kaman said in a statement released Wednesday morning.

On Thursday in West Baton Rogue, LA a sex offender underwent castration to gain his freedom from prison. The surgery took place at LSU Earl K. Long Medical Center.

Francis Phillip Tullier, 78, from West Baton Rogue, was convicted of molesting three different girls hundreds of times during the time spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s. He pleaded to three counts of child molestation in 1999 and was sentenced to 27 years in prison.

As part of his sentencing, the court declared that the paedophile would be eligible for parole only if he under went a surgical castration procedure and only if he paid for it himself.

According to a sheriff's investigator Tullier's surgery had been delayed several years because Tullier was treated for several medical issues.

Tullier is expected to be released next week and will be on parole as a registered sex offender, living in Iberville Parish.

There are 12 US states which allow for surgical castration as a punishment for repeat sex offenders.

Jesus said, spoke of "eunuchs" who were born with birth defects, others who were made eunuchs by men, (those serving kings or for punishment), and others "eunuchs" who were not literally eunuchs, but dedicated their lives to the service of God.

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan has a busy week ahead of her. On Wednesday, she's due back at the Airport Courthouse for her grand theft case, unless she reaches some kind of plea deal.
Two weeks ago, Lohan pleaded not guilty to a felony grand theft charge that she stole a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz was expected to get reports on Lohan's probation and decide whether the case can be resolved before trial, reports AP.
Dmitry Gorin, a veteran former prosecutor, tells the Los Angeles Times that Lohan's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley will have a hard time avoiding another trip to jail for Lohan because the star is already on probation for a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence. If she were to receive probation after being charged with a felony, Gorin says, the district attorney could face accusations of giving Lohan special treatment.
If convicted of the theft charge, Lohan could face up to three years in state prison.
Meanwhile, Lohan is due at the Beverly Hills courthouse on Friday for a probation hearing with Judge Elden Fox. Prosecutors in Riverside County are still considering whether to press battery charges against Lohan over her December altercation with a worker at a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert, Calif.
