Lindsay Lohan’s big shot lawyer Robert Shapiro might be making a desperate bid to have her stay out of jail, but the prosecutor handling the case, Danette Meyers, tells RadarOnline he shouldn’t waste his time."It's a really a moot point to ask Judge Revel to send Ms. Lohan to rehab only as Judge Revel has already sentenced her,” Meyers told RadarOnline exclusively.
Shapiro, who was a part of the legal "Dream Team" which represented OJ Simpson at his murder trial, will ask the judge to place the Mean Girls star in a rehab facility instead of sending her to the slammer.
But warned Meyers, “Ms. Lohan is going to jail... Judge Revel could have sentenced her to more time behind bars, but she didn't.
"The only issue to be decided is what rehabilitation facility Ms. Lohan will be sent to after she serves her jail time.”
Shawn Chapman Holley, the former lawyer for Lohan, quit after the actress was sentenced to 90 days in prison for violating her probation stemming from a 2007 driving while intoxicated case.
RadarOnline first revealed Chapman Holley quit before she was moved on, after catching Lohan shopping for a new lawyer.
Lohan is expected to turn herself in next Tuesday, July 20 to begin serving her sentence.
Meyers told RadarOnline she plans on personally being in the courtroom when Lindsay turns herself in.
Calls to Shapiro seeking comment weren't immediately returned.
Inmates Warn Lindsay Lohan About Prison Dangers
Lindsay Lohan is set to serve a 90-day sentence at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, starting July 20, and inmates at the all-female jail are giving the starlet a scary heads-up.
"Everyone will want a piece of her. It will make them famous if they hurt Lindsay Lohan," Tamara Haley, a 38-year-old doing time for heroin possession and prostitution, told British tabloid The Sun. "Or if you get her to cry, the whole ward will laugh and people will love it."
Although Lohan may end up serving closer to three weeks rather than three months, the facility's inmates are certain she'll encounter horrors. More of their stories after the jump.
Lohan served a whopping 84 minutes at Century Regional in 2007 for cocaine possession and drunk driving. Her extended stay, for violating probation, may prove a little tougher. "It's very hot and there's an open toilet with no lid for all the women," inmate Cynthia Bertrand told The Sun. "The toilet was clogged and there was dried feces everywhere."
Haley warned that Lohan's situation, in a solo cell away from most inmates, won't be a cake walk. "She'll be segregated from the general population, but where she's going it is even worse. It's the wing where the murderers are. I don't think they will actually be able to get to her, but you never know. At the very least some of those hardcases will try to scare her."
A source this week told Star Magazine that Lindsay had made terrifying remarks after her court sentencing. "She just kept repeating, 'I can't go to jail,' and, 'I'll kill myself first.'"
The biggest challenges Lindsay will face may come from physical conditions at the jail and her own sanity, Haley says. "I've been in segregation and it was rough. The lights are on the whole time. You hear people screaming all night long. The cells are filthy and kept brutally cold. You get one tiny blanket and that's it. There's an infection going around now. You can barely sleep at night from all the coughing."
One source The Sun calls LiLo's "pal" had a particularly harsh pronouncement: "Rehab programs say that when you keep on the path Lindsay has been on for so long, the results can only be jail, death or the asylum."
For Lindsay's sake, let's hope her stay-out-of-jail plan works.
