Lindsay Lohan due back in court - twice

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan has a busy week ahead of her. On Wednesday, she's due back at the Airport Courthouse for her grand theft case, unless she reaches some kind of plea deal.
Two weeks ago, Lohan pleaded not guilty to a felony grand theft charge that she stole a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz was expected to get reports on Lohan's probation and decide whether the case can be resolved before trial, reports AP.
Dmitry Gorin, a veteran former prosecutor, tells the Los Angeles Times that Lohan's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley will have a hard time avoiding another trip to jail for Lohan because the star is already on probation for a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence. If she were to receive probation after being charged with a felony, Gorin says, the district attorney could face accusations of giving Lohan special treatment.
If convicted of the theft charge, Lohan could face up to three years in state prison.
Meanwhile, Lohan is due at the Beverly Hills courthouse on Friday for a probation hearing with Judge Elden Fox. Prosecutors in Riverside County are still considering whether to press battery charges against Lohan over her December altercation with a worker at a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert, Calif.
