Lindsay Lohan has probation restrictions lifted

Lindsay Lohan has been freed from her formal probation after nearly two years of constant court hearings and threats of jail.

Lohan thanked Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner for her patience and let out a sigh of relief as she exited the courtroom after the brief hearing.

The judge had imposed a series of strict probation requirements including cleanup duty at the morgue and counselling sessions last year, and Lohan met all the requirements by this week's deadline.
