She's Not As Bad As O.J., Right? RIGHT?

In a last ditch effort to dodge jail, Lindsay Lohan hires O.J. Simpson's counsel Robert Shapiro.
Since her tragic(ally hilarious) jail sentencing,
Lindsay Lohan and her mom
Dina have been slaving over legal strategies. Like in
The Pelican Brief, except when Lindsay is puzzling over a computer screen, she's on Twitter.
After nine days, they've come up with a plan that just! might! work! They've hired
O.J. lawyer
Robert Shapiro, who should be more than capable of proving that Lindsay Lohan did not murder anyone. Wait, what's this about again?
His strategy, according to TMZ, is to suggest Lindsay be sentenced to an in-patient rehab instead of to jail for her parole violation. His son, Brent, died of an MDMA overdose at 24, and Robert Shapiro has since developed contacts among drug rehab facilities through his drug awareness program The Brent Shapiro Foundation.
But the prosecution remains Lindsay's chief buzz-kill. "It's a really a moot point to ask Judge Revel to send Ms. Lohan to rehab only as Judge Revel has already sentenced her," D.A. Danette Meyers told Radar. "Ms. Lohan is going to jail... Judge Revel could have sentenced her to more time behind bars, but she didn't. The only issue to be decided is what rehabilitation facility Ms. Lohan will be sent to after she serves her jail time."
Maybe Lindsay has a chance if she makes another one of her signature moving courtroom pleas. "This is my life! This is my career!" was pretty touching. How about something along the lines of "I'm special! The rules don't apply to me! I
know Al Gore!"
UPDATE: Lindsay checked into a rehab facility associated with Robert Kardashian's program on Wednesday. I know they say it's never too late, buttttttt... maybe a little late?
