This is a story about Lindsay Lohan and seven misdemeanors. After getting off of more serious cocaine charges, Lohan was charged with seven misdemeanors, including two counts of DUI. TMZ reports why the D.A. didn’t file felony cocaine charges:
The D.A. always looks at the person and the circumstances. In Lohan’s case, the fact that she was busted twice in a short period of time actually helped her. It shows someone is struggling with an addiction problem. The fact that each time she was busted, she immediately checked into a rehab facility also helped her case. Also, her age — 21 — and the fact that her upbringing was extremely unstable — also worked in her favor.
Looks like being in a dysfunctional family, getting caught with cocaine multiple times within a short period of time, and entering rehab each time helps. What separate Lohan from other cocaine users is rehabbing at a resort. The key to getting off felony charge in L.A. is rehab and being a celebrity, that last part I added, because that’s the real secret my friends.
Definitely, being a celebrity does get you out of sticky messes. Rehab, though, is wearing thin with the masses…. Maybe we need someone aside from Britney or Lindsay to go into rehab, then it’ll be hot topic again.
