It's Not Just Justin Bieber! Prosecutors Will Go 'Tough' On Lindsay Lohan In Court

It's not been a great few days for Lindsay Lohan, not only did Justin Bieber dis her in his rant over claims he was going off the rails using the star as an example as someone who was really in trouble, but according to insiders the star will get no "special treatment," when it comes to her trial next week for lying to police over a car accident last June.
The actress has pleaded not guilty to lying to police when she claimed she was in the passenger seat when her car smashed into another vehicle on the Pacific Coast Highway last June, only for her assistant to claim she was lying.
During her last court appearance lawyer Mark Heller appealed to the court to have compassion for the troubled star, but sources reportedly told RadarOnline, they have no intention of giving Lilo any special treatment or let the trial be delayed, despite her legal team's attempts.
“The prosecutor will absolutely object to any motion that is filed attempting to prevent the trial from beginning next Tuesday,” a source explained.
“Heller has had more than enough time to prepare the case for trial, and if he tries to pull a stunt at the eleventh hour in hopes of causing a delay, he is going to be in for a very rude awakening. The California courts are overloaded right now, and any delay would only cost taxpayers money.
“Lindsay can expect to get no special treatment this time around, despite what she’s been used to in the past. Judge James Dabney was crystal clear with Heller during the last hearing — telling him that he needs to get a California lawyer on board the team as his knowledge of the state’s law is well below par."

The insider went on: "That was two weeks ago, and Heller’s had more than enough time to achieve that, so as far as the judge is concerned, no more excuses. This is only a misdemeanor case, it’s not complicated and doesn’t need to be dragged out. Dabney is a no-nonsense judge, and it would have to be very unusual circumstances for him to be willing to grant a continuance.”
According to TMZ prosecutors will also try use previous incidents where Lohan has proved untrustworthy to show a "pattern of misconduct," according to TMZ. The website claims two incidents, one in May 2007 and another in March 2010 when Lindsay reportedly lied to police.
Good luck Lilo sounds like you'll need it!
