Lindsay Lohan freed from jail
(BANG) -Lindsay Lohan has been released from jail. The troubled actress - who was yesterday (24.09.10) sentenced to four weeks in prison for violating the terms of her probation - is now free after posting her $300,000 bail, which was granted after her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley launched an appeal claiming she was unlawfully denied it.

Los Angeles Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said: "She's been very cooperative - always has been - the first time, and then the last time. Let's hope this is the last time."

Judge Patricia Schnegg overturned Judge Elden Fox's initial ruling she must stay behind bars until her next court appearance on October 22.

Although Lindsay is a free woman, the judge ruled she must be fitted with a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring device within 24 hours if released.

Lindsay - who served just 13 days of a 90-day jail term in July for violating the probation terms of a 2007 conviction for driving under influence (DUI) - was sent back to prison after she failed two court-ordered drug tests, testing positive for cocaine and amphetamine abuse.

It was widely believed Judge Fox would send the 24-year-old star back to rehab, rather than prison.

However, he made his decision without hearing arguments from lawyers on either side.

Lindsay was said to look "shocked" and glanced at her attorney upon hearing the ruling, before being escorted out of the courtroom in handcuffs.

Lindsay spent just 22 days of a 90-day court-ordered rehab stint following her release from prison in August.

    Seriously? How many chances is this girl going to get? She's said she doesn't have a problem, then she said she does. Get this girl into a mandatory rehab program where she can not leave early under any circumstances! I'm really startign to think it's publicity stunt on her behalf. I mean, the tabloids stop talking about her every day and suddenly she tests positive?
    Either way this girl needs help!

    I think it's time for the U.S. justice system stop enabling this girl by overlooking her blatant disregard for the law, her family and herself. They need to stop looking at her as a celebrity and start seeing her as an average person.

    Oh to be a celebrity and have money.... wouldnt that be nice, be able to just pay their way out of everything.
    she gets caught with drugs in her system, then looks shocked when she is sentenced again. the look of shock was probably because she knew she would lose more money buying her sorry a$$ out of jail.....
    hopefully she will get the help she needs and not think it a joke

    Addicts deny, lie and keep using because they can't stop. Everyone around her has been enabling her to keep their source of revenue coming in. It must be very sad and lonely for her to realize that she has no one that really cares for her as a person, perhaps that is why she is so self-destructive. She admitted on twitter she has a problem now she has the choice of rehab, jail or death. I hope it's rehab - a good center and a long stay - so she comes out strong, healthy and wise enough to stand up the parasites that have been feeding off of her!

    This is ridiculous. She needs to go to jail and serve her full sentence. Letting her out early just proves that she can do anything and get away with it. She can't be treated like she is above the law just because she is a celebrity. She needs to get out of L.A. and out of the spotlight so she can get her life back together.

    Will someone catch a wake up already. This young lady needs to be forced to deal with the consequences of her actions or she will never learn. She keeps making the same stupid, pathetic mistakes over and over again. I think she's looking for attention.
    Has she no self respect at all?
    Justice should served, regardless of who you are and how much money you have.

    A law for the rich and a law for the average and or poor person. The judges need a rude awakening as they did not help her Lindsay will just go back to drugs and Judge Judy was right when she said that time in jail without drugs will help her kick the habit.

    24 years old and she`s been sent to jail how many times? And to be able to buy her way out all the time? How is that helping her? She needs a wake-up call. By letting her go free, of course she`s going to go back into drugs, she`s a young woman who`s only known fame, jealousy, attention and all that. she doesn`t know what it`s like to work for what you have, I mean REALLY work. Not make millions in less than a year and have everything handed to you on a silver platter. Her family needs to take control and make sure she gets help before she completely destroys herself. Nobody deserves this.
