We were GLAD to hear that the jewelry store where Lindsay Lohan is accused of shoplifting sold the surveillance tape for $35,000! Who WOULDN’T – given the opportunity? The store has put up with a lot of aggravation for that $2500 stolen necklace and they have to spend who-knows-how-much time in court. The tape belongs to them and they have every right to profit from it. Selling it has NOTHING to do with Lindsay’s guilt or innocence. Everything she did IN the store and later – having the necklace delivered to the police instead of returning it to the store with an apology – indicates to us that she’s certainly guilty, and is, in fact, an experienced and clever thief. Watch the tape on ET Monday night.

Somehow, I feel this is a ploy by Lohan’s defense team to get her off the “hook”. If they let her off, they really are not doing her any favors as she WILL do it again and again. I want to like Lindsay but her spoiled brat attitude just won’t let me.
PS The way she is smiling at the camera in this photo, it is almost like she knows she will be found innocent
Janet dont be stupid. It clearly shows taht they are in this for the cash. Selling this tape only HELPS Lindsay as it shows the store is making money from this.
Had they not claimed she stole it there would be no case and no press. My guess is this tape will destroy the case against Lindsay.
Selling the tape and having it shown on the nightly entertainment shows will taint the jury pool. Expect the case against her to be dismissed.
I can’t believe this article, and won’t comment further to avoid affording it any credibility.
Apparently it’s true that the video has been sold, but as yet I haven’t seen confirmation (other than what was claimed in a Radar online story) that it was the store that sold it. TMZ is reporting that the licensing agent went so far as to contact Lohan’s attorney in an effort to retrieve the defense copy of the video in order to maintain exclusivity, which is so ludicrous it’s hard to take seriously.
Janet don’t you understand that if this tape is really to be aired pre-trial it will seriously affect the credibility of the prosecution?
As it has been described, she entered the store with someone else (I think it said a man) and that person distracted the help while LL walked out with the necklace on that she had just supposedly been ‘trying on”. All of this is on tape clearly. After she stole that fur coat from a lady a few years back I’ve known how low class and cheap she is. Paris is too. Throw them both in jail and lose the keys.
What kind of moron does she have to be to not realise stores have secruity cameras all over the place? Esp jewelry stores?! No cameras? No insurance!
Lindsay is a sociopathic personality in my opinion. The sooner she gets put away the better. She has NO redeeming qualities.
This jeweler must be a potential advertiser for JC for a stupid statement like that to be made. And it is even stupider to show the tapes before the court hearing when they could have made more money by showing them after so it may be a scam by LL people to collude w/ them to put a wrench in a case. Hopefully the judge doesnt fall for it.
………..and selling it on tuesday night.
Why is it so hard for that girl to get clean and out of trouble?
She could be spending time in ACTING classes, doing volunteer work (hello! She doesn’t work a 9-5 job like the majority of us!), or simply living a quiet life as she gets herself together.
PROBATION … that’s what she’s on. Does she understand that? Had she followed that last year and done on her classes, all her problems would have been gone before the end of 2010. She could have seen herself a comeback a la Robert Downey Jr.
Girl never learns. I wish her luck, but it is up to HER to change her life.
Jail is probably going to do her more good than harm, even if it’s just 1/3 the time.
