I know this is off topic but Lindsay Lohan's court appearance yesterday confirmed something I've been laughing about for years with a few friends. I've had a few cases involving mentally unstable women (this is not a gender thing, just the fact of the situation) who've shown up to court to accuse someone of something awful wearing white from head to toe. (One was a defamation case where she claimed her employer had called her a whore and inpugned her virtue. Another was to claim she was being stalked by someone she was actually stalking...)
Each time the accusations were completely false and her outfit seemed intended to make the judge believe: See me dressed in white, I am pure and honest.
At least I've always believed that was the purpose of the whiteness.
Michael Jackson's family did the same thing during one of his trials--everyone showed up wearing white from head to toe.
So here Lindsay shows up to court deliberately wearing white to proclaim her innocence.
