Judge Sautner made it clear, Lindsay had better complete her community services within 1 year of the date of sentencing -- or else! The judge said, "I'm not going to give her five extra minutes. I don't want to hear, 'Oh, I couldn't do it because I was on the set of the John Gotti movie.'"
The judge was frustrated that after 2 months, Lindsay has only completed 4 days of 60 days of community service.
The judge was also upset that Lindsay had not enrolled in psychological counseling -- as she's required to do. The judge is giving her 21 days to sign up with a personal counselor -- not a group counselor.
The L.A. County Probation Dept. was asking Judge Sautner to violate Lindsay's probation, because of 3 alleged violations. Two of them were outright bogus ... the third was Lindsay not returning a call from her probation officer. Lindsay did in fact belatedly return the call.
Shawn Holley provided that explanation Thursday for the actress' failure so far to comply with Judge Stephanie Sautner.
Melanie Chavira, the prosecutor at the Los Angeles city attorney's office who is overseeing Lohan's necklace theft case, questioned whether the actress really couldn't afford to pay.
Sautner, who is overseeing Lohan's probation for shoplifting a necklace, said that was no excuse. She gave Lohan 21 days to find a counselor or her probation would be revoked.
"Maybe she knows somebody who can help out," Sautner said.
Lohan in recent months has appeared in numerous photo shoots but has been absent from TV and movies.
Lohan, who came to court in a designer clothes and $1,195 Christian Louboutin platform heels, is living in a house in Venice Beach.
