During the hearing, Judge Sautner told Lohan, “I am not happy about this house arrest, it was the Sherriff’s doing… What you are guilty of is extremely poor judgment. Having parties on the roof of your house… you are not to have parties. I am ordering it. You may have one friend over at a time, and your family, should you want them. That is it.”
“Do you want to get on with your life?” the judge asked.
“Yes, I do,” Lohan replied.
“You knew I was unhappy with house arrest and yet you had a party on your roof?” the judge continued. “How dumb is that… I’m sure you and I will be very happy if we never have to see each other again.”
Following the judge’s words, Lohan was seen getting emotional and dabbing her tearful eyes.
After the hearing, Lohan and Holley were spotted exiting the courtroom. The actress appeared very happy with the outcome.
