Singer Britney Spears rejects driving plea deal
Los Angeles -
Troubled pop star Britney Spears rejected a plea offer on charges that she drove without a license, her lawyer said Wednesday, according to People magazine.
Prosecutors had offered the 26-year-old a one-year probation and 150-dollar fine if she pled guilty to a misdemeanour charge of driving without a license. But lawyer Michael Flanagan said that Spears was being targeted because she's a celebrity and doesn't deserve even a minor criminal conviction on her record.
Her trial is set for October 15.
At the time of the 2007 fender-bender, Spears had a Louisiana license but has since obtained a California driver's license. (dpa)
