Lohan refuses plea deal in necklace theft case

Lindsay Lohan has rejected a judge's offer to end a felony grand theft case early and her lawyer said it is because the actress has a strong defence and is confident she can win an acquittal.

"Ms Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has never wavered," lawyer Shawn Holley wrote in a statement released hours after the actress informed a judge she would not accept his plea offer.
