Lindsay Necklace Case — No Contest Plea Tomorrow

Tmz :    Lindsay Lohan will officially plead no contest to misdemeanor theft tomorrow — TMZ has learned — but Lindsay won’t be showing up in court.

Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ … Lindsay wants to show up for the plea, but the cost and craziness associated with a Lindsay Lohan appearance is just too much — what with extra Sheriff’s deputies, court disruption, etc.

So Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, will appear before Judge Stephanie Sautner to enter the plea.

TMZ broke the story … Lindsay will plead no contest, and in such cases it’s routine a defendant can serve the sentence with an electronic monitoring device at home, rather than doing jail time.

As we first reported … both Sheriff’s Department and the Probation Department sources tell us … Lindsay would be eligible to serve her 120-day jail sentence with electronic monitoring at home.

Judge Sautner has made it clear … she’s treating Lindsay like any other defendant, so it’s likely the judge will allow her the electronic monitoring option.
