CONRAD MURRAY'S MOM She Doesn't Know Jack (Daniels) About Her Son

Note to Conrad Murray's mom.  You were wrong when you told Judge Michael Pastor your son never had a drink in his life, and we have the proof -- 80 proof.

Murray's mom wrote a letter to Judge Michael Pastor before his sentencing, pleading for mercy for her son and claiming Conrad is a good person who "never drank alcohol, took drugs or smoked cigarettes in his life."

But here's the deal.

 We got this pic of the Doc, who was at a holiday bash in Vegas in the late '90's.   You see
Murray triple fisting.  People at the party tell us Murray was drinking champagne and cocktails all night long.

At least he won't get extra jail time for this lie.

Casey Anthony to be freed July 17

Casey Anthony was sentenced Thursday in a Florida court to four one-year terms for lying to police after being acquitted in her toddler daughter's death, but the 25-year-old is expected to be freed in 10 days due to time already served.

Earlier in the day, an official with the Orlando court who emerged after a meeting between Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. and others involved in the case said Anthony will be released July 13.
But later Thursday, authorities in Florida said Anthony will be freed July 17 as a result of a recalculation of the time she has served.
Perry told the court Anthony would get one year in jail and a fine of $1,000 US on each of the four misdemeanour counts.
The judge said she has 30 days to file any notice of appeal.
The hearing followed the woman's acquittal Tuesday on the three most serious charges against her — the first-degree murder of daughter Caylee Anthony, aggravated child abuse and manslaughter.
Wearing a silvery blue sweater and her long chestnut brown hair down, Anthony sat stone-faced, often looking down and fidgeting with her hair, until hearing her sentence.
She was found guilty by a jury of four misdemeanour counts, based on an interview with a detective on July 16, 2008. Anthony, in jail for nearly three years, could have served a maximum of one year in jail for each count, but received credit for time already served.
The sentencing hearing opened with defender Holly Hughes asking that Anthony only be sentenced on one count since the lies — including that she was working at Universal Studios after it was discovered Caylee was missing and that the child was with a nanny when investigators were trying to locate her — were told during a single interview with an officer, and therefore didn't have time to "pause and reflect between lies."
A lawyer for the state of Florida responded that each lie should be taken into account separately, even though they all occurred on the same day, because each was intended to mislead law enforcement and send them "on a wild goose chase."
Anthony refuses to speak
Perry took time to read the defence's case law backing its claim that it would contravene Anthony's constitutional rights to sentence her on four counts instead of one. However, he said, law enforcement expended a great deal of time and energy — from July through December 2008 — looking for Caylee as a result of the lies, so discounted the defence's argument.
He also asked Anthony's lawyer if she wished to say anything before her sentencing, to which he responded no.
Hundreds of people began lining up outside the courthouse hours before the 9 a.m. ET sentencing — the six-week trial typically attracted crowds of people jockeying to get into the courtroom — and dozens carried signs protesting her acquittal.
Anthony has been in the Orange County Jail since Caylee's body was found in July 2008.
On Wednesday, jail staff met to prepare for her possible release, and officials emphasized the need to ensure it would be done carefully.
"Due to the high-profile nature of this case and intense, emotional interest by the public, appropriate measures will be taken to release the individual into the community in such a manner so as to preserve the safety of the individual and the public," a release said.
One jail official told the media that most likely no one would know exactly where and when she would be released to protect her.
Criticized for lies
The Anthony case has transfixed America since Caylee went missing – a disappearance that took Casey Anthony more than a month to report. Following her acquittal Tuesday, hundreds outside the courtroom expressed outrage about the verdict, and legal analysts said Anthony would be found guilty in the court of public opinion for the foreseeable future.
Prosecutors had contended the single mother, who was living with her parents — painted during the trial as head of a highly dysfunctional family — suffocated Caylee with duct tape because she wanted to be free to party and spend time with her boyfriend.
They also nailed Anthony for the lies she told after Caylee went missing. She told her parents that she couldn't produce Caylee because the child was with a nanny named Zanny — a woman who never existed — and that she and her daughter were spending time with a rich boyfriend, who also never existed.
The defence argued Caylee accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool, and that Anthony panicked and she and her father hid the body. There were also allegations made by the defence that Anthony was suffering from the traumatic effects of being sexually abused by her father, George Anthony. All the allegations were intensely denied.
In the end, Anthony was acquitted largely because the cause of Caylee’s death wasn’t determined, and there was no clear-cut evidence that her mother committed the murder.
Whether Casey Anthony will return to the home of George Anthony and his wife Cindy wasn't clear following her sentencing hearing.
But a lawyer for the family told U.S. reporters Wednesday that Anthony's family received death threats ahead of the 25-year-old's possible release.
Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, also said Wednesday that he feared for his client's safety given the high-profile nature of the case.

Lindsay Lohan fails alcohol test again, ordered to court

Lindsay Lohan failed a court-ordered alcohol test last week and will have to go before a judge for a probation violation hearing Thursday morning, according to a source close to the case.

Lohan's failed test, which the source said took place on June 13, comes while the actress is confined to her Venice Beach, California, home because of a jail sentence imposed last month.

The actress will appear before Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge

Stephanie Sautner at 10 a.m. Thursday, the same judge who sentenced her to 120 days in jail after she pleaded guilty to stealing a necklace, a prosecution spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Lohan was allowed to serve a reduced sentence at home because, as a nonviolent offender, she qualified for a home confinement program intended to reduce overcrowding.

But it is not likely Sautner has missed seeing media reports showing Lohan socializing on the roof of her luxury home in recent days.

"When my friends come over, they're not drinking," Lohan told an interviewer with Life & Style magazine. "Alcohol is not in my house, so it's just not a part of my life."

That interview was given on June 18, five days after she allegedly failed the test.

The actress, who turns 25 on July 2, has managed to avoid more than a few days in jail despite two drunk driving convictions, a long list of probation violations and the recent theft conviction.

"Because of budget constraints and because we're under a federal consent decree that requires us to curb our overcrowding situation, nonviolent offenders, lesser crimes, get 20% of their sentence," Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Without the latest violation, it was expected she would be released from home confinement in early July. She would then resume her work on 480 hours of community service the judge imposed.

Lohan entered drug rehab last year to avoid a jail sentence imposed by another judge. But Sautner made it clear in court last month that she didn't think drugs and alcohol were the root of Lohan's legal troubles.

"She's got other problems for which she self-medicates," Sautner said.

Lohan's four years in and out of court -- and sometimes jail -- started with two drunken driving arrests in 2007. Since then, she's spent more than eight months in substance abuse rehabilitation programs.

A probation report released last month said the actress "appears to be continuing to struggle with substance abuse issues."

"It would appear that the defendant's criminal conduct is increasing in seriousness and severity," the probation report said, yet it suggested she serve her sentence on probation and not in jail.

Lohan tested positive for alcohol use, a violation of probation rules, in February, the report said.

It also revealed that the drug test failure last August, which resulted in a jail sentence and court-ordered rehab, involved cocaine and amphetamines.

Lindsay Lohan: To Jail and Back Again, Part Deux

In court Friday for a preliminary hearing on allegations she stole a $2,500 necklace from an L.A. boutique in January, Lindsay Lohan ended up sentenced to 120 days in jail, and back behind bars for five hours, for violating her probation. Lohan's lawyers plan to appeal the jail sentence, but the actress must immediately start serving 480 hours of community service. Judge Stephanie Sautner did not buy the defense argument that Lohan absentmindedly walked out of the Venice jewelry store wearing the necklace and forgot to return it. The actress did catch a break when Sautner downgraded the charges from felony grand theft to a misdemeanor, a decision that prosecutors plan to appeal. The actress's hearing on the theft charges is set for May 11.

 Before court adjourned, prosecutors argued that Lohan should be jailed for violating her probation, and the judge agreed. Taken into custody immediately, the actress reportedly showed "no emotion" as sheriff's deputies 'cuffed her and took her onto a bus bound for the Lynwood Correctional Facility, a routine that's practically old hat by now. After spending a grand total of five hours behind bars, the actress was let out on $75,000 bail. Meanwhile, Judge Sautner sounded almost impressed with Lohan's proclivity for trouble. "[The necklace] was in fact hidden in plain sight and she walked out of the store," Sautner said. "It's brazenness ... it's ... I don't know what it is."
