Lohan attorney says sentence is harsh

LOS ANGELES

Lindsay Lohan’s attorney says she and the actress believe the 90-day jail sentence the actress received earlier this week is harsher than other defendants would have seen under similar circumstances.

Even so, attorney Shawn Chapman Holley says the 24-year-old Lohan will serve her jail sentence and comply with court orders that include a three-month stay in rehab.

Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced Lohan after ruling Tuesday she violated her probation in a 2007 drug case. Testimony revealed that Lohan had missed seven court-ordered alcohol-education classes since December.
