Lindsay Lohan's attorney has suggested to prosecutors that the actress serve as a motivational speaker and perform non-jail activities to resolve her latest criminal case.

Attorney Mark Heller suggests in a letter obtained Tuesday that Lohan record public service announcements and give inspirational speeches at schools and hospitals to show she is making a serious commitment to improving her life.

The 26-year-old Lohan faces three misdemeanor charges over claims that she was driving recklessly then lied to police about being behind the wheel when her sports car crashed in June.

Santa Monica prosecutor Terry White declined comment on the letter but says discussions on how to resolve Lohan's case are taking place.

The case is due back in court on Friday.

It was also reported Tuesday that Lohan will be making a special upcoming guest appearance on her "Scary Movie 5" co-star Charlie Sheen's series, "Anger Management."

Lohan will next be seen on the big screen in "The Canyons," performing racy sex scenes alongside adult film star James Deen. Distribution rights for "The Canyons" were recently acquired by IFC and the film is expected to be released sometime this summer.

I don't understand why it is so difficult to figure out "how to resolve Lohan's case". Simply look at the record of other similar cases involving normal, everyday citizens and treat her the same! Aren't we all supposed to be equal under the law? In her case, it sems as though, for some strange unstated reason, she is an exception. Is that because she's somehow "special"? If so, just tell us why that is and be done with it!
