Lindsay Lohan officially rejected a plea deal offered to her by the Los Angeles District Attorney and Judge Keith Schwartz on Wednesday afternoon, RadarOnline.com reports. Her lawyer, Shawn Holley, attended a late Wednesday meeting with the judge and prosecutor in an attempt to come to an agreement. None was made and the case will now go to trial.The 24-year-old actress is accused of felony theft by a jewelry store owner who says the actress stole a $2,500 necklace in January.
"Judge Schwartz indicated he would give Lindsay less than the six months the DA was seeking, if she pled in front of him," a source told the website. "Shawn Holley was asking for no jail time, but the judge said he would sentence her to a minimum of 60 days, but likely not longer than 90 days."
Judge Schwartz "encouraged Holly to discuss what not taking the plea deal will mean for her."
"Unless Holley is able to convince Lohan who is adamant that she not do any jail time, otherwise, Lindsay is headed for a date in front of Judge Sautner," the source added.
Because of the overcrowding in Los Angeles jails, if Lohan was sentenced to a 90-day sentence, she would probably only end up serving 21 days.
