Judge May Order Lohan Back to Slammer Today

Prosecutors want her behind bars for blowing off community service

(NEWSER) - Prosecutors are out to put Lindsay Lohan back behind bars after she blew off her community service . Lohan has never shown up at an LA coroner's office, where she was supposed to work 120 hours, and rarely appeared at a women's shelter, where she was required to put in 360 hours. The time was mandated as part of Lohan's probation on a drunken driving and theft charge. "She was terminated from the women's center program for failing to show up. This was one of the terms of her probation. So we will seek jail time for her," a spokesman for the city attorney told the Los Angeles Times . More»

Lindsay's 'Crime Wave' Costs California Millions

Experts estimate that taxpayers are footing a giant bill

(NEWSER) - Lindsay Lohan's "one-woman crime wave," as some in LA's legal community have called it, seems like little more than the stuff of tabloids. But there is a dark side, Fox News points out: Experts estimate that the former actress' legal foibles are costing cash-strapped California millions of dollars. Prosecutors, judges, stenographers, clerks, and bailiffs—none of them come cheap. Explains one defense attorney, "If only 100 hours total was spent on her first DUI case out of the Beverly Hills Courthouse, you’re talking about a minimum of $10,000 just in prosecutorial/attorney time alone."

New York Releases Apocalypse Guide

Legal manual outlines emergency responses

(NEWSER) - It’s got an unassuming title, but the “New York State Public Health Legal Manual” might just be the scariest book of the year. It’s the state’s official legal guide to cataclysmic disaster, outlining in dry legalese what to do if, for example, there isn’t enough medicine to treat everyone in a biological terror attack, the New York Times reports. It also covers the legal nuances of seizing property, slaughtering infected livestock, forcing evacuations, and warrantless searches. “It is a very grim read,” says one the courts’ chief of operations.
