Lindsay Lohan to take her chances at trial.
Lindsay Lohan has rejected a sweetened plea bargain in her necklace theft case and will fight to clear her name.Jacked from NY Daily News
A court spokeswoman confirmed late Wednesday that Lohan will not appear before Judge Keith Schwartz on Friday to take the deal that came with guaranteed jail time.
Her next stop now is a preliminary hearing in front of a different judge April 22.
Prosecutors first offered six months jail and three years felony probation for a public mea culpa, sources told the Daily News.
But when the "Mean Girls" star turned them down, the judge signaled he'd whittle the jail sentence down to three months behind bars, TMZ.com reported.
With jail overcrowding, she would have been out in about three weeks.
One sticking point, TMZ said, was the three years probationary term.
Indeed, Lohan landed in jail twice in the last year over missteps with the misdemeanor probation stemming from her back-to-back DUIs in 2007.
Still, mom Dina Lohan said the embattled actress seriously considered making a no contest plea so she could move on with her life.
"Obviously, she's not pleading guilty. My children don't steal things. But the system is so strange out in Los Angeles. We're considering a couple options and just want to get this over with in the shortest amount of time," Dina Lohan told the News earlier this week.
Police say the former Disney ingénue stole a $2,500 one-of-a-kind necklace from a Venice, Calif., jeweler on Jan. 22.
"I would never steal, in case people are wondering," Lohan wrote on Facebook. "I was not raised to lie, cheat, or steal."
Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Holley, maintained her client is innocent.
"Though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking 'the deal,' the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent; she has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her."
Lohan pleaded not guilty to grand theft Feb. 9 and said the store knowingly loaned her the bling.
"She was clearly loaned the necklace," Dina Lohan said. "And it should already be down to a misdemeanor because the necklace wasn't worth anywhere near what they claimed."
