Lindsay Lohan will not stand trial for DUI.
She struck a deal by pleading no contest to two counts of DUI. By law, Lohan must serve a minimum of four days in jail.
Lindsay Lohan issued the following statement to TMZ:
"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.
I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."
Lindsay was not in court today. Her lawyer, Blair Berk, hashed out the deal with prosecutors in the judge's chambers. The judge then took the plea in open court.
