Mathews suggests Markova watch an anti-fur video hosted by former fur-wearer Martha Stewart and then donate the fur, which was a gift from the student's grandmother, to the homeless.

Meanwhile, Markova stands to win significant damages if a jury finds the coat mix-up is criminal in nature.

The student's fur, priced at $12,000 (Gbp6,000), was taken from a nighclub in January (08) and returned to her by the venue's bosses a month later after she spotted Lohan wearing the garment in a magazine photo.

Her lawyer Merrill R. Cohen tells Eonline.com, "We got the coat back, but it's not sufficient. She had the coat for several weeks. You don't just return it and that's that".

He claims the coat was returned with a tear in the lining and was stained.

But Lohan's publicist says, "This is crazy! The bombing of Lindsay has to stop".
