Despite Shawn Chapman Holley's Best Legal Efforts, Lindsay Lohan's Gets 90 Days in The Slammer

3 Hots And A Cot For Troubled Mean Girls Star

Actress Lindsay Lohan was just sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating her probation in her DUI case, followed by a 90-day inpatient rehab program.

Judge Marsha Revel laid down the law to the troubled young starlet after deputy district attorney, Danette Meyers, told the judge that Lohan, 24, has been thumbing her nose at the court.

BREAKING NEWS: HOLLEY RESIGNS AS LOHAN'S LAWYER!

Besides both Meyers and Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley being African American women, there are some other behind the scene things going on that you should be aware of.

(Go Ahead - Click The Picture)

While Holley is a former deputy public defender who then went on to become a partner at the Law Offices of Johnny Cochran, Meyers is a respected career prosecutor.

Here's an up close and personal interview with Holley:



What the mainstream media doesn't know, however, is that Meyers is rumored to be the first black and female candidate that will actually have a shot at becoming the District Attorney of Los Angeles should current DA Steve Cooley become successful in his effort to win the election for California Attorney General.

Cooley is currently running against San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, who is trying to make history herself as the first African American and female to hold the statewide office.

The last time a black and a woman ran was in the 70's, when former Congresswoman and LA County Supervisor Yvonne Braithwaite Burke was unsuccessful in her quest against former Republican governor George Deukemejian.

(Meyers, center, as President of LACBA)

Could it be a coincidence that Meyers, a felony prosecutor, high ranking member of Cooley's inner circle, and past president of the L.A. County Bar Association, was assigned to this relatively simple misdemeanor case? Especially since all indicators are that Cooley will paint Harris as being soft on crime - particularly in light of her position on the death penalty?

But we digress!

The evidence was loud and clear today -- Lindsay violated probation by failing to attend her alcohol ed classes based on the schedule set by the judge. There were lots of excuses, but ultimately they didn't fly.

The judge said there was a pattern of violations since Lindsay was placed on probation in 2007 following her plea bargain in her DUI case.

Lindsay broke down as she addressed the court, telling the judge, "I did the best I could."

Lindsay dissolved into tears when the judge imposed the sentence.

Lohan must surrender on July 20 in Judge Revel's court. Now whether she'll actually serve 90 days is another story. Everyone familiar with the legal system in California knows that for an offense such as this, defendants are serving maybe 10-20 days, if that. Here's Holley explaining how the system works:



Will the court make an example of Lohan the same way the court tried to do with Holley's former high profile clients Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, or treat her like every other person???

Stay tuned!

If Brothers Do The Crime They Need To Do The Time, But This Is Ridiculous!

Good Time Jail Credits Not Properly Counted, Costing State Millions And Inmates Their Freedom

Nicholas Shearin was paid a surprise visit to his Salinas Valley State Prison. His parole officer had good news for the 38-year-old Black man who had been on lockdown for a decade. He would finally be release in two days. Great to hear, except that due to calculating errors, he should have been freed 240 days prior.

Shearin was among as many as 33,000 state inmates whose sentences may have been wrong because they were not given all the time off they earned for good behavior and for working in prison.

Records obtained by The Times show that in August, the state sampled some inmate cases and discovered that in more than half -- 354 of 679 -- the offenders were set to remain in prison a combined 104 years too long. Fifty-nine of those prisoners, including Shearin, had already overstayed and were subsequently released after serving a total of 20 years too many, an average of four months each.

Shearin, living with his parents and looking for a job, went to prison for armed robbery. He received less than a third of the good-behavior credit he was due on a second crime, assaulting another inmate. Shearin said he had told the corrections staff that he was entitled to more time off his sentence.

"I argued that point," he said. "I put in all the paperwork."

But "they did what they wanted to do at the Department of Corrections," said Shearin, who learned from a reporter that he had stayed in prison too long. "They just told me no."

The errors could cost the state $44 million through the end of this fiscal year if not corrected and more than $80 million through mid-2010. But California's overburdened prison agency waited more than two years to change its method of awarding credit for good behavior after three court rulings, one as early as May 2005, found it to be illegal.

Officials were giving some inmates 15% good behavior time instead of the 50% to which they were entitled. The state fixed release dates for only those inmates who requested it, according to a spokesman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, who said there was no evidence in Shearin's file that he complained.

Aside from the survey in August, the department did not change its methods for all prisoners until last month, when it began reviewing release dates. Officials said that with too little staff, antiquated computers, too many inmates and a web of arcane sentencing formulas, the job was unmanageable.

State Sen. Gloria Romero (D-Los Angeles), who chairs the Senate's public safety committee, said inmates have a fundamental right to a timely release. She criticized the prison agency's "arrogance in the face of the law to simply say that these people's lives don't matter, but they can just lock them away and essentially throw away the key."

Scott Kernan, the corrections department's chief deputy secretary for adult operations, defended the department. "Our staff struggle every day and do a wonderful job in calculating these cases and prioritizing the workload and getting these guys out," he said. "We're doing as much as we possibly can with the existing resources we have."

Five hundred workers, called case records analysts, compute sentences for 417,000 prisoners who enter or are transferred within the state prison system every year. In December, officials in the Service Employees International Union sued the state on behalf of the analysts, who are responsible for calculating the terms of 500 to 600 inmates each and who fear they can be held accountable for late releases.

The union has been warning prison administrators for 15 or 20 years that analysts were seriously understaffed, said Karen DeVoll, 47, an analyst at Sierra Conservation Center, a prison in Jamestown in the Sierra foothills east of Stockton.

From 2000 until 2004, the state paid $468,280 in legal settlements to prisoners who weren't released on time, according to a 2006 report published by Cal State Sacramento.

The cost of housing prisoners who should not be incarcerated is far higher. The state projected that for the 354 inmate cases reviewed in August, it would have saved $2.3 million if all had been released on time. Overall, failing to correct the errors could cost the state more than $110 million more over the next 15 years. But that figure does not include inflation, and union officials say it would be significantly higher.

DeVoll, who earns the maximum of $53,000 a year after two decades in her job, has decades-old computer systems that cannot calculate current sentencing formulas. She and her colleagues do most of their work, called audits, with pen, paper, calculators and file folders jammed with inmates' papers.

Prison administrators keep track of analysts' mistakes while also pressuring them to work quickly, DeVoll said.

"We get written up because we don't meet the expectation of how many audits we can do," she said. "They can get pretty complex. . . . You have to apply what case law he falls under, if he's . . . a violent offender, if he had two violent offenses, if he's getting DNA done. You have to make sure you do tracking for sex offenders."

Michael Vick's Co-Defendants Get Their Chains Yanked

Quanis Phillips of Atlanta and Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach could have received up to five years in prison -- the same maximum former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick faces when he is sentenced Dec. 10. Instead, there sentences were much shorter on federal dogfighting conspiracy charges.

Vick's co-defendants were sentenced Friday to 18 months and 21 months in prison respectively. Peace, Phillips and Tony Taylor of Hampton pleaded guilty last summer and agreed to testify against Vick, prompting the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback to enter his own plea agreement a few days later. Taylor will be sentenced Dec. 14.

Black Wrestler Hardbody Harrison Will Be Pumping Iron ... On Lockdown!

An Atlanta jury found former pro wrestler Norris "Hardbody" Harrison guilty of multiple counts of sex trafficking and forced labor in a scheme to force women into prostitution, holding them prisoner at two homes he owned in Cartersville.

Norris, 41, acted as his own attorney and was convicted of charges including conspiracy, witness tampering, aggravated sexual abuse, forced labor, and sex trafficking involving eight women. He could be sentenced to up to life in prison when is sentenced Feb. 28, 2008. One witness testified that Norris, a former Army sergeant and veteran of the Persian Gulf War, beat or threatened them to keep control and that he threatened to throw one through a hotel window when she would not engage in sex with two customers. In addition to forcing the victims to work as prostitutes, Norris made them work in and around his houses, requiring them to haul trees, lay sod and paint, according to testimony.

Norris wrestled for the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling organization in the 1990s. In 2000, after leaving WCW, Norris, who is black, joined other wrestlers in a lawsuit against the company and its parent, Turner Sports, alleging that WCW cast nonwhite wrestlers in unflattering stereotypical roles. Norris settled out of court for a sum his family said was upward of $1 million.

Web Update: Bail Set At $125,000 In The OJ Simpson Case!

A judge has just granted the defense request to have OJ Simpson released on bail in the alleged armed robbery, kidnapping case that has everyone strolling down memory lane. Doesn't everything about this feel like de ja vu?

Is it us or does OJ still look great, even in jail blues? This Black man does not age! Standing before the judge, OJ opted to not enter into a plea and reportedly spoke in a soft, low tone. Get more details here about the $125,000 Orenthal must now cough up to get sprung!

OJ Simpson May Be An Idiot Who Killed Two People And Then Wrote About It, But A Flight Risk? C'Mon!

Orenthal James On Lockdown

From The Collier Corner

His face is still recognized around the world, yet criminal justice officials in Las Vegas won't release O.J. Simpson on bail out of fear that he's a flight risk.

Well, where could/would he go? Where on planet Earth could O.J. Simpson hide?

He's a man who soared to stratospheric levels with his gridiron skills, sexy looks as a legendary NFL running back with the Buffalo Bills and later as a performer on the big screen. Of course, all that ended 13 years ago when he was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend, Ron Goldman.

Police: No Bail for O.J. Simpson in Las Vegas Robbery Arrest

He still gets jeered along with a few cheers here and there. And he's all over the news now that the book he wrote, 'If I Did It,' has hit bookstores. And it's the top-seller at Amazon.com.

He was arrested in Las Vegas after he and several accomplices allegedly burst into a hotel room and threatened men who he claimed illegally held his memorabilia. Reportedly, guns were wielded by Simpson's accomplices.

Is the denial of bail some bizarre way of getting back at Simpson for upsetting so many people 13 years ago?

BREAKING! FOXY BROWN NOW ON LOCKDOWN: PREGNANT BLACK RAPPER REMANDED INTO CUSTODY!

After a Manhattan bench officer ordered the reportedly three-months-pregnant rapper to serve time for violating her probation, Foxy Brown, aka Inga Marchand, was remanded into custody.

Now, the "il na-na" has been reduced to three hots and a cot until her next hearing. Brown, 28, had been on probation on assault charges, but two incidents in recent weeks violated the New York native's probation, thus leading Judge Melissa Jackson to send Foxy to jail.

A source told TMZ that Foxy's face was "priceless" when the judge handed down her decision, and that Brown had not expected to see jail time. It has yet to be determined where Brown will be serving her time.

MAN-UP BROTHERS: WE'RE BEING IMPRISONED BECAUSE, GASP... WE KEEP COMMITTING CRIME!

Racism Alone Doesn't Account For More Black People On Lockdown

DES MOINES, Iowa - African-Americans in the United States are imprisoned at more than five times the rate of Whites, and Hispanics are locked up at nearly double the white rate, according to a study released Wednesday by a criminal justice policy group.

What the study does not point out, however, is that a high percentage of Blacks are incarcerated for drug related crimes, some extending to theft and non-serious offenses resulting from their ongoing, untreated substance abuse.

The report by the Sentencing Project, a Washington-based think tank, found that states in the Midwest and Northeast have the greatest Black-to-White disparity in incarceration. Iowa had the widest disparity in the nation, imprisoning Blacks at more than 13 times the rate of Whites.

Such figures "reflect a failure of social and economic interventions to address crime effectively," as well as racial bias in the justice system, said Marc Mauer, the group's executive director.

Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut and Wisconsin incarcerated Blacks at more than 10 times the rate of Whites, the group said, citing Justice Department statistics from 2005. Vermont had a ratio of 12.5, followed by New Jersey with 12.4 and Connecticut with 12.

States with the lowest Black-to-White ratio were Hawaii, with 1.9, Georgia with 3.3 and Mississippi with 3.5.

In Iowa, Blacks are imprisoned at a rate more than double the national average. For every 100,000 people, Iowa incarcerates 309 Whites and 4,200 Blacks, the study said.

As a former prosecutor and judge in Los Angeles, most crimes -- particularly violent crime -- are a direct result of Black on Black attacks. Is there anyone on this planet who has been able to solve this problem.

U.S. SETS RECORD IN THE IMPRISONMENT OF BLACKS

According to a recent report released by the Justice Department, the number of incarcerated Americans reached an all-time record last year.
Local, state and federal officials jailed an additional 62,000 people as of June 2006 sending the prison population to 2.24 million people.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) annual report says the 2.8 percent increase in incarcerations was the largest increase in six years.

Black men continue to be imprisoned at record pace.

Blacks and Hispanics are the primary people being jailed. Currently, Black men, who are roughly 6 and a-half percent of the nation's total population, represented 37 percent of those behind bars.

African American males have an incarceration arte of 4.8 percent compared to 1.9 percent for Hispanics and 0.7 percent for whites. Amazingly, 11 percent of all Black males between 25 and 34 are in prison.

The primary culprits are the so-called war on drugs and tougher (some critics argue extreme) sentencing laws. The U.S. has more of its citizens in prison than any other nation in the world.

Communist-led China, for example, has a population nearly four times larger than that of the U.S. but has fewer people in prison. Some critics, such as the Drug War Chronicle - from Drug War Chronicle, Issue #492, 6/29/07 - are now blaming a "prison-industrial complex" which benefits and profits from the growing incarcerations.

JESSE JACKSON DOESN'T MIND THE SPOTLIGHT, UMMM... WE MEAN GETTING ARRESTED -- FOR THE CAUSE!

(AP) CHICAGO — Reverend Jesse Jackson was arrested Saturday at a demonstration outside a south suburban gun shop.

According to Fox News, he was charged with one count of criminal trespass to property.

The 65 year-old leader of the Rainbow Push Coalition was arrested when he refused to move away from the entrance to Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, police said.

Just out of curiousity, how old is the little girl Jesse fathered out of wedlock while still married to his wife? Did she send him a Father's Day card? We know, one story at a time!

Jackson has protested with other community activists outside the shop in recent weeks after a 16-year-old honor student was gunned down on a city bus.

Police said the shooting was gang-related but the teen was not the intended target.

Jackson, who says the gun shop's proximity to Chicago provides gang members and criminals easy access to firearms, has used the protests to call for stricter gun laws.

Two teens have been charged as adults with taking part in the May shooting of Blair Holt, an honor student at Julian High School.

WE TOLD YOU SO: PARIS SERVES MORE TIME THAN MOST BLACK & LATINO JAIL INMATES

Hilton Will Do More Time Than Most

Whether Hilton received special treatment from the Sheriff's Department has become the subject of much debate everywhere except here.

As a former superior judge who worked alongside Judge Michael Sauer and handled identical cases, I told you that there was nothing usual about this case.

Other than the fact that we're talking about a rich heir to the Hilton fortune.

The Times analyzed 2 million jail releases and found 1,500 cases since July 2002 that — like there Hilton's — involved defendants who had been arrested for drunk driving and later sentenced to jail after a probation violation or driving without a license.

Had Hilton left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60% of those inmates.

Earlier this month, I said the exact same thing. Take a look:


Again, this is not rocket science family. This really is not about Paris as much as it it about the Sheriff's Department's early-release program, which sets inmates free before their sentences are up to ease overcrowding.

According to The Times, over the last five years, more than 200,000 inmates have been released early.

Baca started the releases during a budget crunch that he said left him no choice but to shut large portions of the nation's largest county correctional system.

On previous occasions, jail officials have ignored orders from judges to keep particular inmates in jail for their full sentences, saying that they first must comply with a federal court's restrictions on overcrowding.

But sheriff's officials pledged before Hilton's arrival that she would serve 23 days, after calculating discounts for good behavior.

FULL STORY

THIS JUST IN: BLACKS DEMAND HILTON TREATMENT FOR ALL INMATES

MEDIA ADVISORY:

A civil rights activist and family members of L.A. County jail inmates want some answers.

On Tuesday, June 12th they wiil convene downtown demanding an investigation of the LA Sheriffs department because of their early release of Paris Hilton.

Najee Ali, Director of Project Islamic Hope, will insist that the L.A. Board of Supervisors require Sheriff Lee Baca to provide them with a list of every incarcerated female with physical or emotional ailments currently housed within that institution's medical ward.

REVEREND AL SHARPTON - MOVE OVER NAJEE, I GOT THIS PARIS THING!

They are particularly interested in determining how many of these individuals were eligible for house arrest and the number of inmates given that option.

Who would have thought that Paris Hilton would be the catalyst to a very needed discussion on prison conditions and reform?

SHOULD BLACK JAIL INMATES DEMAND THE HILTON TREATMENT?

By Earl Ofari Hutchinson

A livid judge, police officials, prosecutors, and much of the public railed against Paris Hilton's release as blatant celebrity favoritism.

It was certainly that. But the irony is that Hilton was and should have been released early precisely because she couldn't get the quality treatment she needed at the jail.

The problem, of course, is that neither can any of those who aren't rich and famous like her, and won't get favored prisoner treatment.

A significant number of prisoners in the L.A. county jail, and in other overstuffed jails around the country are released without having had a medical exam.

There is no way of telling what kind of mental ailments they suffer from.

That virtually insures that those individuals with the same untreated mental problems that got them locked up in the first place will be jailed again.

Unlike Hilton, the overwhelming majority of them are poor, indigent, minority, and like her increasingly female.

They have absolutely no access to any quality psychiatric care and treatment behind bars. The majority of them, like Hilton, are not violent offenders, but were convicted of petty, low level crimes.

The magnitude of the crisis of the mentally challenged imprisoned is so great that the L.A. County system now has the dubious distinction of being the biggest mental health facility in the nation.

The Federal Bureau of Justice estimates that more than a quarter-million offenders are warehoused in America's jails and prisons that suffer acute mental problems.

That's about sixteen percent of the total jail population in America. In California's jails alone, an estimated 85,000 prisoners suffer mental ailments.

A report in 2004 lambasted the county for the chronic shortage of doctors, nurses, medicines, and support services at the L.A. jails.

While there have been some modest improvements in the general quality of medical care for inmates within the jails, for many inmates -- especially the mentally ill -- the conditions are still severe.

BLACK SECRETARY AT COKE FAILS THE PEPSI CHALLENGE

SIDEBAR--

A sistah was sentenced to eight years in the pokey for conspiring to steal trade secrets from Coca-Cola.

Joya Williams, 42, had faced up to 10 years in prison on the single conspiracy charge in a scheme to sell secrets to rival Pepsi for at least $1.5 million.

Williams was convicted Feb. 2 following a jury trial in Atlanta, where the world's largest beverage maker is based.

U.S. District Judge J. Owen Forrester ignored a tearful apology and plea for mercy by Williams, which was the first time she actually admitted to committing the offense.

Williams had testified during the trial that she did not commit a crime, and her lawyers asserted repeatedly that she had no criminal past.

At the hearing, however, prosecutors disclosed that Williams has two prior convictions, one involving making false statements related to unemployment insurance.

“Your honor, I have expanded my consciousness through this devastating experience. This has been a very defining moment in my life. I have become infamous when I never wanted to become famous.”

It appears Williams stole confidential documents and samples of products that had not been launched by Coca-Cola, then gave them to another co-conspirator.

What they didn't count on was Pepsi tipping-off Coca-Cola that it had received a letter in May 2006 offering hush-hush info to the “highest bidder.” Williams was subsequently kicked to the curb as a secretary to Coke's global brand director.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak told the judge that Williams didn’t deserve leniency. "Choices have consequences and she made those choices.”

LOCKDOWN: I GET TO USE HOW MUCH TOILET PAPER?

Inmates Take Swipe at Toilet Paper Cuts

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - Toilet paper is becoming a sought after commodity at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility after officials began limiting inmates to one roll at a time to trim costs.

Steve Schneider, public information officer for the prison, said officials also restated restrictions on other personal items, including soap and toothpaste, as a result of stockpiling and overuse.

The increased enforcement has angered many of the more than 1,600 inmates.

"Some take this for granted," inmate Carl Kennedy said in a letter to The Hutchinson News. "But in here it's part of a safeguard for widespread infections. We use it to blow our noses, clean sinks, toilets and tables."

Prison officials said the policy could save the prison nearly $600 each month. But Schneider insists inmates won't go without toilet paper.

One side effect of the policy could be that toilet paper will become a new form of currency among inmates. "Anything you restrict becomes a thing of value," Schneider added. "It automatically becomes a means of dealing and trading."
