SPEARS’ LAWYER WINS MORE TIME IN DRIVING LICENCE CASE
LATEST: BRITNEY SPEARS’ attorney has been granted a further month to work on the singer’s driving without a valid license case.
Defence lawyer Michael Flanagan and prosecutor Michael Amerian asked Los Angeles Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman for an extension on Friday (25Jan08) so they can work out on what law applies to Spears’ case.
Herman set a hearing for 20 February (08), but warned the lawyers that if they haven’t come to an agreement by that date, he will order a trial regardless.
The hearing relates to an incident in August (07), when Spears scraped a parked car in a private parking lot in California’s San Fernando Valley while driving without a valid licence.
The hit-and-run charge, which was caught on camera, was dismissed in court in October (07), after Spears offered a personal apology and $1,000 (£500) in compensation to the vehicle’s owner, Kim Robard-Rifkin.
But the troubled star is still facing a charge of driving without a valid California driving licence - because at the time of the incident, she was only in possession of a permit from her native Louisiana Spears has since obtained her Californian driving licence.
