Lindsay Lohan is on her way to becoming a free woman, thanks to a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. According to the Los Angeles Times, Judge Patricia M. Schnegg ruled Friday afternoon that, contrary to an earlier court decision, Lohan would be allowed to leave jail if she came up with $300,000 bail.
Schnegg’s decision reversed a ruling by Judge Elden Fox that put the actress behind bars without bail until an Oct. 22 hearing for violating the terms of her probation.
Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, appealed Fox’s order Friday, arguing that the actress was unlawfully denied bail. Holley told reporters outside court, “The case law is clear. She is entitled to bail.”
Lohan was sent to custody for failing a court-mandated drug test last week.
