Brittany Murphy's Hubby -- Criminal Charges "Destroyed"

It looks like the British writer-director husband of Brittany Murphy, whose alleged credit card fraud may have been holding up his bid for US citizenship, could be home free in the home of the brave, after a Virginia court destroyed Simon Monjack's criminal charges.

TMZ has obtained an order from a Circuit Court in James City County, Virginia, that directs the state to destroy the arrest warrants for Monjack, who was wanted for credit card fraud back in 2005. "It is hereby ordered," reads the document, "each of the felony and misdemeanor warrants ... summonses ... be destroyed by the Commonwealth's attorney." Tear it up!

This order paves the way for Monjack to become a US citizen. He and Murphy tied the knot in early May.

Maybe the marriage is just a vehicle for him to become a citizen quicker or maybe Brittany Murphy is a sucker for his accent?

So, not only does the US allow illegal aliens amnesty after they've managed to succeed in breaking the law for years, now the government is going so far as to TEAR UP CRIMINAL CHARGES to pave the way to citizenship for an illegal alien. I thought US policy was to bar immigration of criminals? What's up INS?

I know Simon Monjack and everything you have read about him is true. He is a sociopathic liar, thief, and con man. The fact that these charges were not only dopped but the records destroyed is bad news for anyone who cares about fairness and decency. I smell a rat.
