![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Ric Flair's wife is in the clear for allegedly assaulting the wrestling legend at their home back in February -- and it might have a lot to do with the fact that Ric refused to testify against her.
According to officials in a Charlotte, NC court, the judge tossed out an assault charge today against Jacqueline Beems -- who married Flair in November 2009 -- because the D.A. didn't have enough evidence to prosecute her.
We're told Flair -- a crucial witness for the prosecution -- took the stand to testify ... but pled the 5th.
Beems' attorney Brad Smith tells TMZ, "We are just thrilled at the outcome and all parties are looking forward to moving on."

PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME RIC HAS EVER KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.
THEN AGAIN IF HE TESTIFIED AGAINST HER, SHE WOULD HAVE BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE CRUSTY OLD MAN.
I SEE HIM AT D&D IN BALLANTYNE N.C. AND HE'S A JOKE. ONCE SAW HIM HAVE TO USE MANY CREDIT CARDS BEFORE HE HAD ONE THAT WASN'T REJECTED. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........
I didn't get to post the first comment. Just goes to show that, "You can't be first, but you can be next!"
Actually, he didn't plead "The 5th". The 5th Amend. protects defendants against self-incrimination in a trial. Here, he was a witness against the defendant, and instead used a privilege known as "spousal immunity" that allows a husband or wife to refuse to testify against the other in a criminal proceeding under the Federal Rules of Evidence. C'mon Harvey, I thought "You're a Lawyer!"
To be da man, you have to beat the man... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
@ACE lol I know man... TMZ is slippin...
