Is It Impossible For Lindsay Lohan To Get A Fair Trial?
612 days ago
Lindsay Lohan doesn't just have to deal with the whole SCRAM bracelet drama. She also has a civil attorney representing her in the case where several people are accusing Lindsay of "terrorizing them" during a 2007 car ride that created the criminal case Lindsay is also dealing with.
That attorney claims Lindsay can't get a fair trial right now because of... TMZ. So he wants a delay.
According to [Lindsay's attorney] McPherson, "Every facet of the criminal proceeding and every facet of Ms. Lohan's life ... have been reported on TMZ and other media outlets literally on a daily (and sometimes hourly) basis." McPherson goes on: "There are current widespread public feelings of intense negativity against Ms. Lohan ..." McPherson says it's highly likely the jury pool will be tainted against her.
And McPherson includes some harsh comments -- he told us they're right from the "comments" section of TMZ -- including, "I hate her; she should be killed." "She's a drunk, a junkie, a no-talent actress who has no respect for the law." "This b*tch needs to be locked up without her drugs and her roommates ..."
Wow. Now attorneys are using anonymous comments from websites in court? I wonder how hard it would really be to find an impartial jury. On one hand, I find it hard to believe that many people care, but on the other hand, I can see where a lot of people have pre-conceived notions about her.
What do you think?
