lindsay lohans nails may be considered contempt

“I am not taking this as a joke, it’s my life and career. I don’t want to you to think I don’t respect you and your terms,” Lindsay Lohan said to the judge yesterday after writing “fuck u” on her fingernail.

And now that final act of arrogance could get her in even more trouble because it might be considered contempt of court. Fox News says…

If indeed Lohan’s message was aimed toward the courts, “it would be a separate charge for contempt,” says New York City Public Defender Stacy Schneider. “She could have an entire extra sentence heaped on top of her current one. If the judge were angry enough, it could run even consecutively.”
Los Angeles Public Defender Greg Apt echoed Schneider’s sentiments. “The judge could hold her in direct contempt, which could be between three to five days in jail for vulgarity.”

Or then again…

“There’s no legal ramifications from this. She has a First Amendment right to wear anything she wants,” a prominent criminal defense attorney tells People.

Hopefully she will get in more trouble because hubris is funny. Lindsay fully expected to walk out of court yesterday but in the mean time she was gonna stick it to the man with her secret little “fuck u”. But it turns out the man has guards with guns and handcuffs, and they’ll beat you up if you try to stick things to them. A better idea is to fill out the mans paperwork and do what he says.
