Britney’s Hit And Run Charges Dismissed
Thursday October 25, 2007
Thursday October 25, 2007
A misdemeanor hit and run charge against Britney Spears was dismissed at a hearing in Van Nuys, California, Thursday.
Spears, 25, also pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving without a valid California license.
Spears — who did not attend the hearing — entered the plea through her attorney, Michael Flanagan.
In August, Spears crashed her car into a 1999 Mercedes-Benz station wagon, slightly damaging it, in a private Studio City, California, parking lot. Usmagazine.com first reported that Spears intended to settle with the victim, Kim Robard-Rifkin, 59, a nurse who learned about the incident after it was captured on camera by paparazzi.
In light of the settlement, the hit-and-run charge was dropped.
Spears may not be so lucky regarding the license issue.
A source close to case had told Us that Flanagan, Spears’ attorney, planned to present documents proving Spears now has a valid license in hopes of reducing the misdemeanor count to a traffic citation. But the L.A. City Attorney — who insists just because Spears has now obtained a license does not excuse the fact that she drove without it — wants to slap the singer with a 12-month probation term and fine.
She is due back in court on the matter November 26.
Flanagan tells Us his client is being held to a higher standard than an ordinary person.
"I just need a little more time to figure out does the prosecution have the right to treat a person this way especially when they have done everything they could to right the situation," he tells Us.
Check out video from the August incident above.
Spears is due back in court tomorrow, when she and ex-husband Kevin Federline are expected to appear in front of Judge Scott M. Gordon about their custody arrangements.

SHE DID KNOWINGLY DRIVE WITHOUT A VALID CA LICENCE AND SHE DID HIT THE CAR AND RUN OFF. ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE IN JAIL FOR THIS OR LOSE THEIR DRIVING PRIVILIDGES.
Not true, anyone with a lawyer can get these things reduced, for the most part, to a fine and possibly probation or a few community service hours.

12.05: I did Not say I know a Monique In Order to start talking to "Jennifer" (whoever that is). That conversation came up AFTER Jennifer sneakily had already struck up a conversation with me. Like I explained, I knew this Dean freak was posting that day, and I also know that he (or she?) trolls and posts under numerous fake IDs - therefor I was sure that this "Jennifer" poster was another one of his incarnations (or multiple personalities). Got that? Good~! (And, the following day or so, we cleared the part about Monique up and I told you that I don't know the same Monique you're writing about). Besides, Monique doesn't even really exist!!!! You made her up!!
I know you are one of 4 possible pple! OR, you are indeed a freakin crazy lady who was placing phone calls from a mental institution, and the pple who were knocking on ur door were the wards???!!!

I beg to differ-- you DID say you knew Monique-- you guys were going to rent a house in France for the summer. You totally lied to a child- don't deny it.

11.04: I know who you are: You are a crazy little old one legged crouch who likes to dance around the fire pit and rejoice in all the misfortune he bestows on others under the cover of his anonymity (catch ur breath here) while he gleefully sings, "Ach, wie gut dass niemand weiss, dass ich Rumpelstiltzchen heiss!!".......

To Jennifer and Chantal Says:
Jennifer and Chantal-- you two are nuts. Seriously-- there are hundreds of people who post on this site, not just one or two. Chantal I don't know how old you are, but any "adult" who tries to have a friendship with a 12 year old has something wrong with them, not to mention the fact that you said you knew Monique and were friends with her just to start talking to Jennifer. And your theories of who people really are or who is stalking you makes you seem a little looney. Jennifer you are a lot better off without talking to Chantal, believe me. Your day in and day out bickering is getting pathetic.

8.07: whoever you are: Huh? I don't pay attention to what you click on. And, you were on popsugar non-stop, so it doesn't take a lot of "attention" to see that. I was wondering at one point why an alleged 12yro would have pictures of half naked black women on their friend's list on popsugar - or why they wouldn't delete those types of pple?? But, hey, it's not like that's the only crazy thing about you, so...lol..i guess it fits right in w the rest of ur insanity. So, in any event, I think what u may not quite get is - that just bc I was curious about what your true identity is (bc it's certainly not that of a 12yro) - that doesn't mean I like you - it just means I'm curious, like I'm curious about a lot of other things 2 - like learning French, or learning how to make pumpkin pie...get it??? Now, go away, u freak. I don't care anymore who you are. I know u r one of 4 pple, and that'll suffice. You don't want ur true ID to be known, fine with me. Just go away!

Jennifer Says:

Jennifer Says:

Chantal Says:

ps: and if that's not who you are, then why don't you enlighten us all on WHo you are, and why you call pple under a fake ID?? F idiot!
