The following italicized article is taken from www.contactmusic.com:Britney Spears is unlikely to go to jail over her driving licence misdemeanour, her lawyers insists.
J. Michael Flanagan made the confident prediction outside the California court where he had been defending the troubled pop princess over last August's case.
Spears had bumped into a car in a Los Angeles car park without a valid Californian driver's licence. The owner of the damaged car filed an accident report at a local police station days later but a financial settlement settled the hit-and-run aspect of the case.
A charge of driving without a valid licence remains, however, and yesterday Judge T. K. Herman expressed frustration the case was taking so long to resolve.
He adjourned it until February 20th, by which time lawyers must either be ready to settle or face trial. Spears could face up to six months in prison or a $1,000 (£505) fine if convicted.
She had been issued with a temporary Californian drivers' licence after passing a written test.
