Lindsay Lohan Gears Up for Judgement Day

Lindsay Lohan Gears Up for Judgement Day

Closing in on her much dreaded date before the judge, Lindsay Lohan is set to appear in court on Friday (October 22) for her probation violation hearing.

Stemming from two failed drug tests, the "Georgia Rule" actress will leave the Betty Ford Center to find out whether she's headed back to jail or facing a continued rehab stay.

Miss Lohan has spent the past three weeks as a voluntary patient at Betty Ford as she hopes the move will help in her efforts to avoid time in the slammer - as Judge Elden Fox can give her up to a year sentence for her recent misdoings.

Of the situation, L.A. criminal defense attorney Steve Sitkoff told People magazine, "The key here is her progress in treatment. The better she's doing in rehab, the less likely Judge Elden Fox will throw her in jail."
Sitkoff adds, "Judge Fox has to balance whether to help Lindsay with her addiction or punish her with jail. But if she continues to mess up by not following the court's orders, he won't hesitate to lock her up."

Meanwhile, Radar Online tells that LiLo got a visit from her mother, Dina Lohan, on Wednesday, as their insider said, “She [Dina] told me she saw Lindsay and she’s feeling really well and doing great. Now, they’re just anxiously awaiting Friday’s court appearance.”

The Radar source adds, “It’s been very hard on her. She’s trying to be a good parent for all of her kids while she has to be away from them. But she has to be near Lindsay right now so she’s struggling to balance all of her kids’ needs.” (Hollywood Gossip)
