Celebrity Justice
Lohan May Dodge the World's Biggest Bullet

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ there is a "strong possibility" the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office will NOT file felony charges against Lindsay Lohan in connection with her two DUI arrests.

We're told charges may be filed tomorrow, and the D.A. is leaning toward rejecting three possible felonies. Sources say the D.A. almost certainly will not file cocaine charges in connection with her DUI bust Memorial Day weekend in Beverly Hills.

As for her July 24 arrest in Santa Monica, the D.A. could charge her with felony cocaine possession, and bringing cocaine into a correctional facility -- also a felony. But we're told that the D.A. is inclined not to file those felony charges either.

That basically leaves misdemeanor DUI charges for both incidents. If Lohan is found guilty of both, she'd have to serve a minimum of four days in jail, and that beats prison, baby!

And we're told Lohan's mega-lawyer Blair Berk and prosecutors have been talking a lot and that spells a possible plea bargain.

Here's what's for sure: If Lohan is not charged with a felony, she is not required to attend Friday's arraignment. If that's the case, put money on it -- Lindsay will be a no show.

48. Lindsey is a person like everyone else here. So she made a mistake. Im sure she isnt going to get away with it free and clear. She'll have to pay something for it whether it be time and/or money. Lindsey is a good actress and just going through a rough spot on the road of life right now. LUV YA LINDSEY!

50. I have thought for some time that a celebrity could not be convicted in Los Angeles- but this is ridiculous. Miss Lohan should be charged with a felony for possession of Cocaine. She is getting off scott free!

51. A DUI is a misdeameanor, she did not kill anyone. But did put them in harms way. Coke is a felony. Guess they bought the story that she was not wearing "her" jeans. So what? She has paid her dept so to speak because this is her 3rd stint in Rehap this summer. She has made many Rehabs rich. Rehab is not cheap. $30-45.000 per month. What is this. Get out of big time jail time (6 yrs) for a few days. No wonder she was smiling. She is saying "Gotcha Suckers" After all she is Lindsay and "I was wearing the black kids jeans. Lol.

53. Unbelievable. You think she really learned her lesson this time? doubt it. They are not helping her at all by doing this. she is going to one day hurt or kill herself or worse yet someone else.

54. Yet another example of someone who doesn't have to accept responsibility for her actions... and we wonder why the youth of America are so messed up. They blame their behaviors on a "bad" childhood or drug addictions and we let them get by with anything. Don't want to work because it causes you emotional stress? That's okay... the working people of America will pay your bills and buy your food. Don't want to receive a punishment? That's okay... just say your daddy was mean to you and you can do anything.
We have created these issues... and we're reaping what we have sewn.

57. Lindsay will do this again, maybe even kill somebody, but the DA still won't care. I live in LA, and I wasn't even aware of our DA's lousy record.

The media keeps him out of the limelight. Notice how TMZ didn't publish his name?

I will not vote for Los Angeles District Attorney STEVE COOLEY in the next election.

Paris was just over the BAC legal limit (basically 2 beers worth) and drove a short distance with her headlights off and she got 3 weeks for violating probation. CRAZY

60. I don't know why this makes me so mad.....I could have called this result in my sleep. I guess I still like to hope that maybe, just maybe, celebrity justice won't prevail yet again.

Money buys a lot of justice in our system, and power buys leverage -- not to mention the best lawyers. Just look at all the examples....celebrities getting days and weeks to "turn themselves in" for hit and run....killing people on the freeway and months later, STILL no filing or decision filing (Brandy)....suspended sentences, probation for murder...it goes ON AND ON.

I'm as outraged as everyone else, but this is the way the world works. Those with the gold, rule.
