Lindsay Lohan's Legal Issues Are Costing Taxpayers Millions


The freedom you can reach Lindsay Lohan, but not cheap for the rest of us. As reported today, the actor recently to jail for four hours as part of his sentence of 30 days for violating his probation. Of course, he is free again and stay that way until it meets the stringent requirements of probation the judge Stephanie Sautner (even if you do, probably would not go to jail anyway). But this is not the first time Lindsay has been in court because of legal issues, and that could cost California taxpayers some money. In fact, experts told Fox News that Lindsay could cost taxpayers more than $ 250,000 per hour for which he had been imprisoned during the night.

Since the arrest for drunk driving in 2007, the Hollywood star has made over 20 appearances in court stemming from arrests, probation violations, no drug testing and alcohol, and refuse to follow the court order - that adds a lot of cost to the state. According to former federal prosecutor Michael Wilde, "From logistics to the reporter transcript of the Secretary, is exorbitantly expensive to have a court appearance ... Cost tens of thousands of dollars every court appearance for all employees, security and court reporters are paid per page, not to mention all the support side of something like this. "

Attorney Vikki Ziegler shared the same concerns in this regard, said: "This is likely to cost taxpayers millions of dollars. This is a four-year trial that taxpayers foot in California. That includes the salaries of judges, prosecutors, clerks, stenographers, employees, [and] other professional law enforcement, all of which must be paid, in the case of Lohan touched directly or indirectly in the form or other kind. "

So basically, it costs a lot of money Lindsay to sit in front of the judges, and California residents pay for it. At least the reason for the economic difficulties we finally have a face.
