Lindsay Lohan Felony Grand Theft Court Hearing

"Shawn Chapman Holley told the judge that Lindsay is seeking to negotiate a plea deal."

Wait! Something doesn't sound right, or I'm missing something. I thought she was claiming complete innocence. If she negotiates a guilty plea to a lesser charge in this case, won't that violate her probation from the previous charges?

HARVEY LEVIN's TAKE ON LINDSAY’S FUTURE: "IT’S VERY INTERESTING TO ME THAT THE JUDGE MENTIONED THAT LINDSAY’S LAWYER IS GOING TO TRY AND SETTLE THIS CASE WITH [PROSECUTOR] JEANETTE MYERS. AND MYERS IS A VERY REASONABLE PROSECUTOR. SHE’S NOT GOING TO BE SWAYED BY THE FACT THAT THE CASE IS GETTING ALL THIS ATTENTION. IF IT’S APPROPRIATE TO SETTLE IT, TO PLEA BARGAIN IT, SHE’LL DO IT. MY GUESS? LINDSAY WILL PLEAD ‘NO CONTEST’ TO THE SHOPLIFTING CHARGE, AND WILL GO TO JAIL FOR THE PROBATION VIOLATION. SHE CAN’T AVOID JAIL TIME, BUT HER LAWYER WILL GET HER TO DODGE A FELONY BULLET, AND THERE WON’T BE A TRIAL. SHE’LL BE SENTENCED TO SIX MONTHS ON THE PROBATION VIOLATION, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT TRANSLATES TO IN TERMS OF PRISON OVERCROWDING. IT COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS. SHE’LL DO SOME TIME, HOWEVER, IT CAN’T BE ANY MORE THAN 6 MONTHS, AND I THINK IT’LL END UP BEING FAR LESS"
