Britney’s Case Declared A Mistrial
The jury (who were ordered to continue deliberating on Britney’s criminal case for driving without a California driving license) still could not reach a verdict today which resulted in the judge declaring a mistrial. The vote had come back 10 not guilty, two guilty. She had faced a max of 6 months in jail and a $1000.00 fine.
Britney was pulled over for driving without a license last year and had she just paid a $150.00 fine this case wouldn’t have made it all the way to a trial, not that she bothered to show up during the entire trial anyways!
During the press conference afterwards someone asked the City Attorney whether or not it would be difficult for him to listen to Britney’s music now. He answered with:
“You mean more difficult than before?”
I have to wonder about the judicial system and how whacked it is. It isn’t only in America that someone gets caught in the act of doing something illegal, goes to court and has a jury find him/her not guilty. Although, I wonder if this had gone to court a year ago back when she was still in her “naughty girl” phase, would the Jurors had found her guilty?
