Britney Spears Waits on Pins and Needles

Sunday, October 19, 2008

Britney Spears is certainly trying to put her troubled past behind her. First, her hit single "Womanizer" zooms to the top of the charts -- and now she'd just like to resolve her arrest for driving without a license once and for all.

After closing arguments, a jury began deliberations Friday to decide whether she should see some jail time, but after two hours, they could not reach a verdict and was dismissed for the weekend, People.com reports.

Spears’ defense team claims the pop star didn’t believe she lived in California at the time of the accident and had a Louisiana license instead (she’s got a Californian one now, of course).

According to People, her lawyer, Michael Flanagan, told jurors that Spears "doesn't want to be here (in California). She's a Louisiana girl. She's only here because of her custody case. She keeps thinking, maybe next month I can go home."

He also pointed out that a dozen paparazzi vehicles follow the singer's every move daily. "You got a glimpse of what it's like for her to be here. No doubt that's why she's been driven crazy, why there's a conservatorship, why she was hospitalized," he said. "Do you blame the girl for wanting to go home (to Louisiana)?" Um, no, I don’t.

If convicted, Spears faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Come on, guys, this isn’t rocket science. Let the girl move on.
