Dina Lohan Back in Court for DWI Charge, Lawyer Blames Paparazzi

Dina Lohan was back in court for her DUI arrest Wednesday and blamed the paparazzi, E! News reported.

On Sept. 12, Lohan was pulled over on the Northern State Parkway by New York State Police around 11 pm Thursday night. The 50-year-old was allegedly going 77mph in a 55 in her white BMW.  The cops said that she appeared intoxicated and her blood alcohol level ultimately proved twice the legal limit. Her BAC was .20, more than the permitted legal limit of .08.

Mark Heller, Lohan's attorney, read a report that placed partial blame on other factors. It was written by a court evaluator who said stress played a role in the arrest.

"The circumstances leading to Dina's arrest were largely impacted by ongoing daily stresses caused by you folks, the paparazzi, media attention and distorted tabloid character profiles," Heller read.

Heller continued to read from the statement outside the courthouse before the assembled press in Hampstead, N.Y.

"After meeting Dina and her family and witnessing the care, compassion and concern shared between family members, it is my hope that the courts will take the circumstances and challenges of Dina's lifestyle under consideration in prosecuting this case," he said.
