Yep, a Valley jury couldn't convict her. So Britney's little fender bender while driving without a license is no longer a worry for the Spears clan. And before everyone starts ranting about what a travesty it is that California can't convict its celebrities, even the obviously guilty ones, keep in mind that the rest of the country let the crazy fucking investment bankers go hog wild with our futures. They're playing golf with the Enron folks right now. I can handle Britney ramming a parked car every now and then in Studio City.
Really, the city attorney should be ashamed of himself here. Do we need to spend taxpayer money for a 13 month trial for a misdemeanor? The woman had a driver's license in Louisiana, her home state. The only question was whether she considered California her domicile at that time and needed a license there. She'd already settled the accident business with the other "motorist." Haven't prosecutors played the celebrity card enough in the Golden State? It seems like it's another case of much to do about nothing courtesy of the not famous people playing the Villaraigosa law of media face time.
If we're going to keep wasting time and money on hopeless trials, let's at least make the end goal worthwhile. Let's sue G.W. Bush, for fucks sake.
