EXCLUSIVE: DA In Lindsay Lohan Case Wants Alcohol Program To Turn Over Records
July 6 2010, Published 9:28 a.m. ET
The District Attorney prosecuting Lindsay Lohan will ask a judge in Los Angeles Tuesday morning to force the court-ordered alcohol program overseeing the troubled actress' rehabilitation to turn over its records immediately, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.
Danette Meyers, the deputy district attorney, served the Right On Program with subpoenas last month.
But she revealed to Breaking Celebrity News exclusively that the "alcohol education program has failed to provide... records about her attendance, meetings, and progress reports.
"The state-authorized program is citing HIPPA and Title IX as to reasons for not turning over the documents -- I have never had this happen with an alcohol education program involving anyone," Meyers told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively. "This is a state-authorized program, and these are routine and common requests.
"The alcohol education program is coming to court this morning with their own lawyers to object to the subpoena I served them with," Meyers told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively. "It will probably be one of the first issues we deal with in court. The program is saying that they want me to look at the documents in closed court, and that the copies of the documents be destroyed immediately, and I will object to that."
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel will rule if the Right On program is required to turn over the docs to Meyers, and whether or not staffers from the school will testify.
Meyers told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively she wants to examine "SCRAM representatives, the probation officer assigned to Ms. Lohan's case, and hopefully people from the alcohol education school.”
Breaking Celebrity News has also learned from an insider close to Lohan, 24, that "there is something potentially very, very explosive within the probation report."
