liloshawnpic230WMnew.jpgNow that Lindsay Lohan has decided to not take the plea deal in her felony grand theft case, her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, is speaking out on her client's case going to trial.

Holley tells X17online exclusively:

    "Ms. Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has never wavered. Though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking "the deal", the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent; she has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her."
