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!
