"This has been a long time coming," Lindsay's friend tells OK!. "I, and a lot of her friends, well former friends, have stood by her side, despite her being in denial, and now the legal system can help us all out."

"But in the 12-step programs they say when you keep on the path that Lindsay has been on for so long, the results can only be one of three things. Jail, death, or the insane asylum," Lindsay's friend explains to OK!. "So in that sense, jail is definitely the best thing that could happen to her right now."
