Lindsay Lohan was recently sentenced to jail time after violating terms of her probation drafted after her first DUI conviction three years ago in 2007. Her previous attorney in the case was fired after announcing that Lohan would face jail-time bravely. Instead, Lohan has hired on Robert Shapiro, who headed the OJ Simpson case when it was all the rage.
Shapiro also owns the sober-living house to which Lohan escaped recently. He took on Lohan’s case but only after getting her to promise that she will comply with the rules concerning her probation. Shapiro is most famous for defending OJ Simpson in his murder trial and winning the case.
Shapiro issued a statement “Ms. Lohan is suffering from a disease that I am all too familiar with. Hopefully, I can be of assistance to Ms. Lohan and Judge Revel in implementing a treatment approach recommended by medical professionals for Ms. Lohan’s long term recovery and sobriety.” Shapiro reportedly had a son who died from OD reports.
