 Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan on Wednesday was given two weeks to consider a plea deal in her jewelry theft case and warned by a judge that she faced jail time if she decided to plead guilty.
Lindsay Lohan was told to return to a Los Angeles court on March 10 to either accept a plea deal offered by prosecutors, or go ahead with a full trial.
"We are not going to be able to resolve the case today," Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz said after meeting behind doors with attorneys for the two sides.
But he warned Lohan, 24, that if she accepted a plea deal on the grand theft charge "this case does involve jail time. Period. If you plead in front of me and the case is resolved in front of me, you are going to jail, period."
Lindsay Lohan is accused of walking out of a Los Angeles jewelry store in January without paying for a $2,500 necklace. She pleaded not guilty at an initial hearing earlier in February.
