Lohan's Lawyer Throws In Towel

Shawn Chapman-Holley Abruptly Quit

I guess there are some things even "above the law" celebrities like actress Lohan should be cautious of, like back stabbing your high priced lawyer in the back. What I am referring to is that Lindsay Lohan allegedly hired a new attorney to replace Shawn Chapman-Holley, in an attempt to find anyway out of her 90 day jail sentence. While most reports cannot confirm why Chapman-Holley abruptly quit, getting replaced seems to be the consistent reason.

The Verdict For Lindsay's Sentence

Lohan received a 90 day sentence based on three different accounts. According to NYDailyNews.com: Lohan, 24, was sentenced to three consecutive 30-day terms - plus 90 days of rehab - for breaking her probation on two 2007 DUI convictions.

1. 30 days in jail for reckless driving.
2. 30 days in jail for the first DUI case (consecutive).
3. 30 days in jail for the second DUI case (consecutive).

In the courtroom footage, as Lindsay realizes what she is hearing, she bursts into tears. She is almost shocked that she will be held accountable for her actions. Watching closely, you can see her whispering the word "what?" a couple times during Judge Marsha Revel's verdict reading (See image below).
