Jury Deliberations Continue in Britney Spears Traffic Case

Jury deliberation will continue today in Britney's driving without a license case.  The jury deliberated for 2 hours on Friday and then broke for the weekend.  2 hours?  Did she have a license?  What's the hold up?

The prosecution claims that Britney should have had a valid California license since "every significant occurrence of Britney Spears's life has occurred in Los Angeles."  "She is a California resident."  The defense argued her valid Louisiana license should be good enough.

Britney's father Jamie testified Britney had a valid Louisiana license and was therefore not driving without a license.  But California law requires you to get a valid California license within a reasonable time period after moving.  The prosecutor said Britney had intended to make California her residence because she applied for a California license four moths before the accident but had not gotten it.

The defense never produced a Louisiana license, which I would think should have been exhibit 1.  In fact, the prosecutor argued, other than her father's testimony, there was no actual proof that Britney has a Louisiana license.

The defense argued that Britney never intended to make California her home.  "She 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 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)?"

Last month Britney was given the option to pay a $150 fine and close the case but her attorney's refused. Now, no matter what the outcome she will pay 10 times that in attorney's fees
