Dina Lohan Exclusive: ‘Lindsay’s Scared to Death’

"Lindsay's scared to death," Dina Lohan tells Entertainment Tonight's Samantha Harris in her only interview since daughter Lindsay was sentenced to three months in jail on Tuesday in a Beverly Hills court.

The interview was conducted Thursday afternoon in Entertainment Tonight's Studio City, Calif. offices. The conversation was emotional, with Dina stopping several times as she broke down in tears. Can Lindsay survive jail? Dina says, "You know, she's strong, but until someone faces something as devastating as that...we're going to have to see." "God willing," she adds, "it won’t happen."

Dina tells Entertainment Tonight exclusively, that Lindsay is currently consulting new legal counsel and hoping to file an appeal before her court-mandated jail term, no later than July 20. "She's a fighter, and until the final result -- we're not giving up." Continuing on, "I think it's time we get another attorney just to see it from another light and do damage control." Dina says she and Lindsay spend hours each day on their own reviewing court documents, case law and information about the Los Angeles jail system.
