According to Dina Lohan, mother of Lindsay Lohan, the actress is 'scared to death' about her jail sentence, and plans to appeal the 90-day jail sentence after hiring a new lawyer.
"She's a fighter, and until the final result—we're not giving up," Mrs. Lohan said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, which aired Friday.
She added: "I think it's time we get another attorney just to see it from another light and do damage control." Lindsay's mother maintains that an appeal is a must.
The 'Parent Trap' star is scheduled to begin her 90-day jail sentence on July 20. The sentence was handed down by a Beverly Hills judge on Tuesday, who found Lohan guilty of violating her probation terms for a cocaine possession and drunk driving case in 2007. The actress had failed to show up for her weekly alcohol education classes.
The actress' lawyer quit abruptly on Tuesday, merely hours after releasing a statement branding the sentence as "harsh and unfair. However, the lawyer said Lohan was willing to serve jail time and obey the court's orders.
The ruling stunned Lohan, who broke into sobs during the hearing which was aired live on TMZ.com, a celebrity news site. According to Broadcasting & Cable, a TV industry paper, 2.3 million viewers tuned in to Lohan's hearing via TMZ.com.
"It's very difficult, we're not sleeping well, we're not functioning. We cry a lot and we hug a lot. She's petrified, we all are. We're angry. We're disappointed in the system," said Dina Lohan. "Lindsay's scared to death."
