Lindsay Lohan rejecting a plea bargain

Lindsay Lohan is rejecting a plea bargain that would put her in rehab but keep her out of jail and will go to trial, RadarOnline reports.

Lindsay is facing criminal charges stemming from a car accident in Santa Monica, Calif. last summer. Lohan is accused of lying to police when she told them she was not driving at the time of the crash.

Lindsay fired attorney Shawn Holley and is now represented by Mark Heller, who once had his law license suspended for five years.

"Mark believes he can get Lindsay acquitted of all criminal charges stemming from her car accident in Santa Monica last summer," a source told Radar. "Lindsay has convinced Mark that she never lied to cops when they asked her if she was driving the car that day.

"There was a plea bargain offer on the table for Lindsay to go to rehab for nine months, but she absolutely refused that. Mark won't sign off on a deal that sends Lindsay to rehab for more than 60 days."

"There is talk of Lindsay taking the stand because she feels that once a jury hears her side of events she will be acquitted," a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

Heller is based in New York City, and has obtained the necessary license to practice in California.
