Celebrity Justice
No Brit and Run for Spears

Posted Oct 25th 2007 12:58PM by TMZ Staff

Britney SpearsBritney Spears has dodged a bullet.

The judge in the hit and run case against the popwreck permanently stayed the hit and run charge. It's complicated, but basically it means since Spears settled with the alleged victim by paying her around $1,000 plus rental car fees, she won't be prosecuted for hit and run.

As for the other criminal charge -- driving without a California license -- Britney plead not guilty. Her next appearance is set for November 26. The judge ordered her to appear. But guess what? Britney's dance card is full. There's a hearing in her custody case that same day. It's hard juggling all that legal stuff, y'all.

Stay tuned.

6. hasn't she hit two people with her car since this episode?
Uh, I'm not thinking this girls should be getting away with all these motor vehicle violations - no one else would.

7. Well, it's just another example of special treatment for celebritites. It makes me sick. Britney makes me sick. She should already be in jail for her drug abuse and child abuse. The sad thing is, when her boys are older and someone calls one of them a son-of-a-bitch, that overused phrase will, in this case, be sadly true.

10. Thanks for being an idiot again Brit! You just wasted more taxpayer time and money to deal with what could and should have been a non-issue. Oh, that's right- maturity is not yet an option. Always take the low road, I guess.

11. She was never charged with Drug ot Child abuse.......There is processes that need to be taken...You dont just throw people in Jail....at least not any other state....She is she is not guilty of anything at this point.....If TMZ reports in you should be in jail? They need to round up OJ...Lindsay and a lot others if thats the case.
Not a fan of her's but I'm not stupid neither.....Read...think then POST

12. I agree with # 12 - It get's old really fast. And it doesnt look like it's going to stop anytime soon.

She should be put behind bars...It's the only way to get thru to her

13. I just think that in her mind, it is so all about her that it didn't even occur to her that someone else wouldn't handle it after she hit that car. I doubt she was even aware what the procedure IS if you hit another car but the other owner is absent. She did indeed dodge a bullet, and she certainly knows NOW that if you hit a car, you leave a note or stick around. If she does it again, however, and gets caught, there will be no excuse. At this point I agree that it serves no purpose to pursue the charges considering she has made the proper amends. It would just be jailing her for naivete or stupidity. She's in a really steep learning curve here now, isn't she? Over protected = learning everything the really hard way in her twenties. I do have just a little empathy for her, but am entertained (or maybe incredulously astounded) in a dark and warped way at her trials and tribulations from a distance. Not right, but there it is.

14. YOU ARE ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL STUPID. READ MY COMMENTS FROM WHEN TMZ FIRST BROKE THE STORY........ I WAS A VICTIM IN A HIT AND RUN AND I SETTLED THE SAME WAY . I MADE THE BITCH PAY UP AND IF SHE DIDNT, I COULD PRESS CHARGES THEN THE DA WILL PROSECUTE...IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS SITUATION YOU'D KNOW THE CHOICES. THE LADY DIDNT FEEL THAT A TRUE CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITED>>NO ONE WAS INJURED AND SHE DIDNT COVER ANYTHING UP. SO GIVE IT UP U LAMES. IT'S NOT THE COURTS, THE LADY DECIDED STUUUUUPEEDOOOOOS

15. Can one day go by without seeing this piece of trash skank in the news with her drama? So sick of seeing her fat bloated ugly face all over tmz and the news every day.
