Judge Stands Up For Lindsay Against Probation Officer

Lindsay Lohan appeared in court Thursday for a progress hearing, and while Judge Stephanie Sautner was firm with her on completing her community service, she did stand up for Lindsay when it came to questions of her probation.

Court docs show that Lindsay's officer was arguing that Lindsay had $3,900 in unpaid fines.

But, Sautner told the court, “For the record, all fines and fees have been paid.”

And, the officer said that Lohan had not returned phone calls made by the officer. Sautner took Lindsay's side on that too, writing on a document that Lindsay had called her officer three times on July 15 and left a message. In the hearing, she simply advised Lindsay and her lawyer to make sure that the officer had Lindsay's correct cell phone number.
