Lindsay Charged with Two Counts of DUI, Escapes Felony Charge

Lindsay Lohan has been formally charged with seven misdemeanor counts from her two DUI arrests, but she won’t face a felony charge!

The District Attorney’s office has announced Lindsay has been charged with two counts each of driving under the influence, driving with a blood alcohol of over .08 percent, being under the influence of cocaine and one count of reckless driving.

The charges are from her two separate DUI incidents, one in May in Beverly Hills and one in Santa Monica last month. Lindsay was allegedly in possession of cocaine both times, but she will not be charged with a felony because the amount she had was less than the .05 grams required by police for felony filing.

An arraignment is set for Friday in Beverly Hills, but Lindsay does not have to be present.

Man oh man I really feel sorry for Paris now. Comparing to Lindsay Paris would be a saint and Paris got the worst punishment of all. Lindsay should be spending at least 6 months in Jail not just for DUI but for procession of Cocaine too. There is a big problem with today Government Law Maker - they all just pretend to say this and that but we all know damn well without these Big Celebrities donating money for their election then they would not be where they at so that why if you are Not a Celebrities then you are Screw but if you are a Celebrities then you get Special Treatment.
At a matter of fact we should blame on all of the Older Celebrities too! They the one did all of the illegal thing first and got off so many times - so the younger generation just copy them and they got the same Special Treatment just like all these Older Celebrities.

Hey let not be too tough on Lindsey. After all its not her fault that she has so many rich powerful friends and lawyers working on her behalf right? Not to mention a great PR Rep to write such heart felt apologizes to appease us narrow minded evil members of the general public who have the audacity to demand that celebrities be treated like everyone else. For shame. But here’s a great idea. Why not start a charity for all DUI drivers in L.A? Better still a celebrity could sponsor one that way the DUI driver will have someone to impress the celebrity loving judge’s. Oh let’s not forget a stay at an expensive rehab center along with a high powered lawyer and a great PR Rep to tell the public how really really sorry they are and they will take full responsibility for their action. That should greatly reduce the jail overcrowding we keep hearing about.

Giving the girl a break is no way to show her tough love. She broke the law and obviously needs help. I feel that celebrities always receive special treatment and seem to never face the consequences to the fullest extent. Lindsay needs to be taught a valuable lesson. There are so many young people that look up to her and admire her work. I feel bad for those fans that she has let down. She truly is not a good role model at all.

Let’s all say it out loud shall we: Spoiled, self-centered, don’t care about anyone else but herself, little brat with money…..wow isn’t Hollywood breeding the best new generation ever. A bunch of rich kids that get away with things the normal people couldn’t or afford to and these are our kids role models???? Once again the system caters to the rich and famous and they will never learn because “handslapping” doesn’t hurt them or their pocketbooks!! Must be nice and shame on our justice system.

Once again the system works for the celebs. We all know if it was anyone other than a Hollywood celeb they would be slapped with a felony or two. Are they waiting for her to hurt herself or someone else????? Boy, what a role model that is, now everyone wants to be a celeb so we can get all the breaks. I heard justice was blind, but deaf and dumb also………????
