Britney Still In Trouble

Filed under: Britney Spears

wenn51035821.jpg

Los Angeles city attorneys filed charges against Britney Spears last year after she was involved in a hit and run accident, which was gloriously captured on tape by the ever-present Spears paparazzi brigade.

Brit Brit ended up settling the case with the owner of the car she hit, however, she was caught driving without a valid California driver's license at the time of the incident, even though she had been living in LA for years.

Charges were then filed against her for lack of the license.

Now, prosecutors have just refused to drop the charges against her.

It was decided to postpone her case until Wednesday, June 18th, when they hope by that time Spears will no longer have a conservator.

City attorneys are pushing to charge Spears with misdemeanor charges, but her lawyers want the charges reduced to only an infraction. Her current attorney, Charlie Unger, said Britney "seems to be getting her life together. She has nothing on her record other than the infraction-type tickets we all get. She has a crime free life and that’s how we want to keep it. We’re still hoping we can work this all out."

The city attorney however does not agree. LA attorney Michael Amerian said Spears hit and run charge had already been dropped and that going after the driving without a license charge was the fairest way to treat her. He also stated that they were in no way affected by her being a celebrity.

Hey, and in the grand scheme of things, misdemeanor charges in a case of driving without a valid license is MINOR in comparison to the major drama that went on in Brit's life in the past year and a half!

    Suddenly everyone loves Britney again because she is "getting her life back together". Wake up people, SHE is not getting her life together, her parents are forcing her to act the right way for the cameras. Her parents are trying to improve her image because they know she is the cash cow. Don't fall for it again, she is the same old Brit that loves the scandal, the attention and as soon as her parents are out of the picture she will fuck up again. And you her fans will be crushed and sad. Boo Hoo!

    In the matter of the legal case, she should be treated the same as you or I would be treated, but she won't because she has money and expensive lawyers.

    Re: anything for 15 mins of TV – Because the city attorney is the same asswipe whose wife was without a valid license for YEARS and who wrecked a car and put it on the tax payers' tab … he's a f'g loser who thinks if he prosecutes everyone else in the limelight, it will shadow his own fuckups.

    Let her off with an infraction - she had it fixed aready. A misdemeanor?! Geezus - that's akin to a DUI (a DUI is a misdemeanor, so is theft, battery, etc., so long as not over a certain amount or aggravated / severe). She had a valid Louisiana license. She got a CA immediately. This should be an infraction AT BEST. This is absurd. Trust, this type of case would be TOSSED were she not a celebrity. This is total BS. This DA needs the BOOT.

    Hold her foot to the F*cking fire until she finally FEELS SOMETHING. Congrats to the prosecutors for realizing this needed to be resolved legally and not swept under the rug like the rest of her "petty thefts" and dangerous traffic violations caught on tape. The girl needs to show up and answer for her actions in order to be a good mother to her children in the future.

    Why don't they go after the thousands of illegal aliens who drive without licenses? I was hit by one….of course no insurance…and I never got a nice settlement like the one Britney gave to that woman. Ruined my insurance for me and caused a nightmare. As far as I know, the guy got off pretty easy.

  39. Stepping Up and facing the music says – reply to this


    39

    Hit and run and driving without a license is NOT living a 'crime free' life.
    Accountability can't be just wished away just because you've NOW decided you want a crime free life. She did it. It's just another case of trying to do away with consequences for the pampered pop princess. How the hell is she going to learn anything if there's no long-term discomfort? She learns that someone always wipes her slate clean for her, and thus deduces that she can therefore STILL do what ever she wants, instead of making the effort to keep her slate clean by her own efforts. I'm with the prosecutors, and I'm no hardass.

    THE STATE ATTORNEY OR CITY'S ATTORNEY FORGETS THAT THE ISSUE HERE IS NOT THAT BRITNEY IS A CELEBRITY, THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENED SHE WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICINE AND WITH PROBABLY MANIC BIPOLAR EPISODES. IT'S NOT GETTING HER OFF THE HOOK IT'S CONSIDERING HER MENTAL STATE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. BRITNEY WAS SIMPLY NOT HERSELF MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND IN EVERY REALM POSSIBLE. HER HIGHLY PUBLIC MENTAL RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

    She was driving with a valid license from her home state, not the same as driving without a license. Anyway, they're wasting a lot of time and effort over a very small deal. She got her CA license now, so what the hell? She's in compliance. Bureaucrats can be such nasty bastards. Because they have no lives. It is rumored that they are actually robots, but it hasn't been verified yet.

    They're doing this because they want to look like they are fair and evenhanded to ALL. But the celebs actually take it in the neck because the illogical bureaucrats go in the OPPOSITE direction. Paris Hilton, who I think is creepy, was treated like shit, her jail term was faaaaaarrr longer than for most folk. Bureaucrats. Can't live with them. Can't live with them.

    I swear all of these lawyers and judges just want to see her dead. I am not really a Brit fan but I fear she is in an impossible situation and she is never going to get all of these blood suckers out of her life and get her children back. These people are going to make her jump through hoops for years (if she lives). The worst thing you can do to a mother is take away any sense of power and control. It is not normal for children to not see their mother!!! Do these lawyers care about the kids mental health or just their meal ticket. HANG IN THERE BRITNEY …

Instead of saying okay she has been through enough for the last year and has settled with the person that was involved; therefore, we will drop it down. What do they hope to accomplish??? Kicking and keeping someone down who's obviously on the road to recover…… what's even sader is that they are waiting for the conservatorship to be over to do this!!!! TOTALLY ABSURD!!!!!

    Re: Miss Molly – I agree - if she wasnt famous this would be tossed out ages ago. She had a valid licence just not in her state and then fixed that up pronto (she probably didnt even know) Why dont the police and courts deal with ACTUAL criminals instead. Although if this does go to court I hope they take away her licence for a little while as she is much MUCH MUCH better off not driving and getting chauffered with security. Hope that she keeps that up when the conveyorship ends.

    Good! that trick can't drive. I'm soooo tired of epople saying she's been through alot. She brought all that drama on herself. Who told her to go out, party, shave her head and neglect her children? That's her fault! Who told her to marry that gold digger? Now he's gonna try to take all her money. What an idiot! I don't feel sorry for her and if she's so mentally ill, why the hell didn't they leave her in the insane asylum. They only reason she's acting sane now is cause her daddy is disciplining that ass! I doubt she's ever had that! As far as all this attention she gets from the paps. When you are doing crazy sh*t and you're a big celeb, what the hell do you think is gonna happen? Just like with Paris and with Lindsay! She brings that attention on herself. If she acted normal and lived a low-key life then all this drama wouldn't be happening to her. Im so tired of people acting like she's a poor victim. It's called consequences for your actions! You do stupid things and bad things happen to you. It's called Karma! She needs to take resposibility for her actions and stop acting like a damn teenager. Christina and Justin were also child stars and grew up in the lime light, but they got it together! britney has no excuse!
