The Van Nuys, California jury, in the Britney Spears ‘driving without a licence’ trial, could not reach a verdict, and as such the case has been declared a mistrial.

It took two days to deliberate and even so they revealed they were deadlocked.  Two members had voted guilty while ten voted not guilty.  The judge:

“The jury is hopelessly deadlocked, and I declare this a mistrial,”

This trial is based on her 2007 arrest for driving without a California state licence.  She rejected a plea bargain earlier that would have left her with a criminal record but avoided a trial.  The prosecution will not ask for a retial:

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to ask for [retrial],”

Britney’s lawyer:

“Today’s outcome shows my client did nothing wrong. I consider this a victory,” said Britney’s attorney, Michael Flanagan. “Britney was vindicated in that she took on a system that attempted to make an example of her celebrity.”

What do you think of this case/trial?

I have to say she is looking SUPER fit in these pictures taken of her going to the dance studio.  Britney is back, no?
